C&D came today.More C6 pics.I really like 2/3 of the car.That means that GM must have fired 2/3 of their designers carrying white canes.(Too late for the Aztec and pontiac,buick and chev whatever)The front 2/3 of the car looks good.Wether they were inspired by Viper or the GT's that inspired Viper doesn't matter.The front 2/3 are good.I know they kept on staff at least some of the designers with white canes because the flanks,rear 1/3 of the C6 looks like all GM products.Yep from the behind it looks like a fat lady bending over.Its a horror,it can make you queasy.Maybe Lutz's eyesight has gone away.These are private industry jobs.Fire those responsible and don't hire camry designers.I hope DC is listening and puts a VIPER body on the SRT's soon.Keep the brawn,dump the body,and build a GTS version.

Funny how people see things differently, (or at least you and I do!)

I like all of it except for the front end! I think the front looks like a C5 with Down's Syndrome!

ha ha, hope we can laugh together. Doesn't matter to me anyway, I'll be going for the Ford GT, or maybe the Gen3 coupe. Don't really care what the Corvette looks like!

It's better than the C5 IMO.

It's growing on me quite a bit actually.

Like Vic, if DC brings us the Coupe here shortly I'll stop paying attention to the C6 and the resulting Z06 in 2 years time.

I also like the C6 design front, rear and side.
Even more than the C5. In fact I think that the rear of the C6 Corvette looks far less bulky than the C5's tail.

It will be interesting to see how the convertible and Z06 versions look like when they come out.

It looks OK, but not too exciting to me, IMHO.
I'm also not big on the Malibu steering wheel.
Oh well, to each thier own. I could have bought a Z06, but glad I got my RT/10.
:laugh:

That reminds me Sam - the one thing that is NOT growing on me and never will is that damned steering wheel.

Very poor choice.

I'm actually not impressed with their "new, amazing and polished" interior from what little I've seen. Still looks like plastic + cheap leather to me.

Cool new interiors? RX8 and the '05 Stang come to mind.
