If these are pictures that GM has indirectly put up for feedback purpose, the trees in the background are sporting full green leaves.

This is like the JFK assassination.

I believe the original photo files were dates July of 2003... so that would explain the trees..


Also, if that is an idea of what the headlights are going to look like, I now side with Darth and his 'Pop-Ups Rule' campaign.

Welcome aboard!!

There are a few differences between those pictures. On the ones of the car in the shop, the recessed spots for the side markers are elongated, while the car put together has round sidemarkers. Same with the reverse lights at the bottom of the bumper. Also the front of the fully assembled car looks like it angles sharply inward at the bottom while the pictures of the shell dont appear to have any such sharp angles, it's all smooth, although we dont have a picture at the same angle. I am thinking
(hoping?) that whoever said that the front may have been a piece that has been revised since then may be right. If they get the front of this car right it will be beautiful. The front end of that shell is hideous, it has nothing to do with Corvette. This is a Corvette, not a Dodge Stealth. I am anxiously waiting to see what the car really looks like! I think it will blow us away when it comes time
I noticed the same inconsistancies. But what if the bottom car is just a preproduction mule and the shell is the real deal? I actually like the look of the nose.

Link to exact picture
Slow down guys!! The body panel shots in the garage are the real car. This "completed" picture is a photochop done by a talented artist who regularly posts on CorvetteForum.com named Brian Kuper. He's also done this car in orange (it was originally a camo'd spy shot).

He did a good job, but I wanted to set a couple of you straight that this was not the final car!

Folks you've now seen just about evertything that can be spyied on this car. Its only 2 months till you'll see it at the NAIAS.
Then we can start speculating what the C6 Z06 will look like and if the ZL1 indeed does come!

I wish all the threads in here were this fun.

I live close to the same latiitude as Bowling Green and the trees around here have lost alot of their leaves. What haven't fallen are not green. Good catch Jeff!

That's because it is!!!

One more time guys: The four garage pics are the only actual C6 pics. The others on the page have since been added by the site-owner as a glimpse at speculation before these pics were discovered. He's just added these recently.

No offense to anyone; just trying to limit confusion.

Yep. I'm less than 100 miles south of Bowling Green and nearly all the leaves are gone. They haven't been that green for at least a month.

Truly the best/only investigative reporting I've ever done.

It looks to derivative; too much like other vehicles.




That pewter rendering was WAY better.
You pegged my feelings exactly!
