You know, the more I look at the lights and the spy shots, it would be cool if the square part of the lights are like the new mustang lights --> glowing red. But when the car breaks, the red circles appear in the middle.
I say this because a lot of the spy shots seem to show some sort of circle in a square cover.

Whatever you do don't do a google image search on "goatse" (which is in the license plate). I had no clue what it was and I wish I still didn't.

This render looks like it was based off a C6 pic I've seen before....maybe in the Kerbeck ad. Regardless, it still has too much C6 in it, especially in the roof line. The A pillar is too upright, the window is too tall, and the rear quarter window is misshapen. The rear may dip too low and the wheelbase is too short. Other than that, it's not completely awful but I think it will be proven to miss the mark by a wide margin on 1/13.

That is "Butt" ugly in my opinion. Those round tail lights make the rear end look very boring and too Ferrari-ish at the top. Oh wait, this is nothing more than a photo shopped Ferrari!
I think I'm going to really like the new look of the redesigned rear end of the C7 and really fearing that my C6Z will look way outdated to my eyes all to soon.

Hmm...
How they got this;
From this;
Puzzles me.
I think it's way too busy for one thing, and if you study the camoed image closely, there's no way the taillights are inset the deep way they have them. I don't see an area outside on the edge of the body that would make that triangular black "teardrop" so pronounced. There could be a slight shadow, but not what they're predicting. Hard to say how much trouble GM went to in disguising the side-to-side shape of the rear clip, but it just doesn't look like it has all those busy angles, and it would look a lot cleaner without them. I could almost accept the rectangular/parallelogram shape to the taillights without all that other junk going on. 
Happy New Year folks! We'll find out for sure in 2 weeks...

A minor point, but our C5s' taillights are oval, not round. The taillight history since the C4, which was the most radical body shape change since the '60s, and hasn't changed nearly as radically since, has gone; square, oval, round. A parallelogram would be the logical next shape in order of "basic" shapes... Of course, they could go with a "modified" version of one of the previous shapes, like a half-circle for instance. I'd prefer the parallelogram, personally.
