Keep in mind these are four different mules here.

Also keep in mind what they are describing isn't coming directly from these photos. (You honestly didn't believe they were able to measure the length?)

Looks like the entire back half of the car is new, and I can't comment on the front since I can't see.

Well, if this is he direction they are going, then I would have to agree with the idea that they are going 'evolutionary.'

Too early to make a judgement though....

It's kind of hard to tell, but those rims in the rear look like 19 or 20 inchers.

I was hoping for a little more change... it looks more like a freshening than a new car.

That "rendering" is a photoshopped Jaguar.

I think its not that much of a difference, but from what the pictures look like, the differences will be subtle but very different at the same time if that makes sense. Look at this picture and u can really see the edgyness of it. Cant wait for the engine tho

I wasn't expecting a reinvention of the wheel, but I thought that the C6 might look a little less like a C5. I guess I wait until I see the car in person to make judgement.

I saw these.

I saw these in person, and just have not had a chance to post. They were in a caravan with current C5's and a Nissan 300Z. I saw them on Dexter-Pinckney Road just south of M-36 in Pinckney.

They were going the opposite direction, so I didn't get a great look, but at least one of them appeared to have a cowl induction hood.

Not much else to say as they were going the other direction and I didn't have a camera.

I was hoping that GM had outgrown that whole black roof thing.

I doubt they will be seen on the final production version. Probably used here to hide the roof lines. Notice the black strip going down the center of the top to suggest a T-bar. I don't think T-tops will be on the C6 though.

I agree and it's crappy one at that.

The 'exposed' picture is an artists rendering of what lies underneath the covers.

No. It is not. It is a photoshopped version on the second mule picture... take a better look.

Anybody else think it looks just like the White Shark concept from 2002, it looks just like it in the front for the most part? And I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the door handles are different on one of them. Heres pictures of the White Shark if you wanna compare.

I really hope they just used that pillar from a C5, theres gotta be some change there in the C6, and I hope they reduce the size of the back windshield like they did w/ the C5, thats way to long to look as good as it could. Overall though, I kinda like it. You can tell from the pics that the C6 will have more presence than a C5 has when you see it in person.
