Default C6 front vs Pontiac AZZZtek

Lets have even more comparisons of front ends, over hangs and stubby. Take a look at the pictures below and you can see that the C6 IS IN FACT a direct identical sibling of the Aztek.

Both the C6 and the Aztek have:

* Stubby front end.
* Small "overhang"
* Exposed headlights
* Tires on both vehicles are located "behind" the headlights.
* Grin look in the grill area.
* Plastic front bumper
* Resemble men with tiny manhood
* License plate can be mounted over the center of the spoiler
* Side view mirrors.
* Paint
* Windows

And even more…

Oh my GOD, and I don't even have to wait for the Aztek. Damn, NOTE TO SELF: Go to Pontiac dealer and get one first thing tomorrow morning. Screw the wait on the C6 Vert.

-The C6 Corvette is still scheduled to arrive in 2004 and may possibly sport a 6.0 litre 450hp V8 before the C6.
-C6 design is being led by Tom Peters, the man responsible for Pontiac's controversial Aztek. We're told that Peters' team is looking at ways to downsize the current C5 Corvette, which they see as larger than ideal, but without sacrificing interior or trunk capacity. One competitor the team has benchmarked is Porsche's Boxster.
-Other possibilities for C6 include a relocated transaxle (behind the rear axle) with sequential-shift manual/automatic, a change to aluminum for the car's structure, and switching to a 4.0L Northstar dohc V-8 -- though the ohv LS1 is being breathed on to produce an honest 400 hp for 2003.
-The C6 Corvette could include a shift away from Sheet Molded Composite (SMC), or fiberglass for the body structure and be replaced by aluminum.
-GM may not replace the OHV engine with a DOHC type because of cost, packaging, previous investments into the LS1/LS6 design, and fuel economy. The last point would seem unlikely when you compare the fuel economy of the ZR-1's LT5 engine to that of the C4 generation's LT1 engine.

while they look totaly different, i'm not surprised that the same guy designed them both.
Actually it's amazing that he could show so much progress.
