Well i think that GM was going to have a real hard time making the c6 look better than the c5. I think the C5 is one of the most beautiful cars ever, and i think GM has passed the test-they have done it right. I really like how the C6 looks. Very nice. Cant wait to see it in person.

I love the C5's styling.I just DONT understand why they went so far as to call this the C6 when not much changed.Yeah it has a aluminum frame now which is new,But it is still basicly the same thing with a new face.Heck the new Grand Prix is on a "OLD" chassis but atleast it looks entirely different.About the only thing to goo goo over will be the drivetrain and the lowered curb weight.It looks like it will suffer from the 96 Taurus's catfish mouth opening too.

Looks promising. The last spy shots left some wondering if they really changed much at all. Looking at these you can certainly tell that it's a C6.

Still, I'll have to see the whole thing to really tell if they did the job right.

How much do we know about the content now? I'm curious as to the final gross weight and suspension improvements....

has anything stopped to think maybe this is just a done up C5? i mean i dont think GM is going to dissapoint with their flagship car and to have a new generation of vettes coming out that will look like the previous gen.

for now i think it looks sweet but to me looks so close to a C5 to say that i think its just a C5 running some of the C6 styling cues.

Yea my neighbor 5 streets down has one of those XLR's in his driveway atleast once a month. I always try to shoot the chit with him about it, he isnt a very open man i guess.

The c6 will not have an aluminum frame! Possibly in the future but not in the beginning of its run. To bad some pics werent clearer or you didnt get closer to take some of the inside as well. The top shot is the best one... its a c6 thats for sure. Its just not a huge departure from c5
