I personally like the interior a lot, great job! the C5 interior is awesome aswell, I don't think this is an improvement, just a different setup.

I do how ever NOT like the front, its all good until you get to the grill part, WHAT THE HELL is that? Another Sebring front end?

It looks nice, probably looks alot better in person. The body lines don't get me that excited but the LS2 power numbers rock. I guess if I get one I'll go down south to the nearest dealer and order one.

Man, they are saying the C6 weighs about the same as the C5 .

I have always felt that if any one thing could be improved with the C6, it would be the car's weight to help make it handle even better then the C5 does.

As for the looks, I don't like the front grill, I don't like the wheels, I don't like the exhaust tips, but I love the side shots. Call me crazy, but I prefer the look of my C5, and will probably just do a C5r headlight conversion to eliminate the pop-ups.

They share the exact same platform .


I like it except for the front grill and moulding around the exhaust tips. But the aftermarket for this car looks promising, and there will be a variety of parts/products that will allow customization and such.

Aly...word on the street is that its still built on the c5 frame....but with influence from the xlr........It has a lader frame or something like that....?? to make it stiffer.......but I bet you anything...the 2006 base model will even have an alluminum frame

The new power is exciting.
The styling is not.

I prefer the C5. Although there's not a world of difference to this new one - the C5 has slightly better lines.
Personal opinion only.

Most of us agree the front end and wheels don't look very good. They just want everybody to spend more cash on mods which is a great idea if you can afford it. The hp inprovement is awesome and once we get a look or a ride we will be On the road all you will see is the rear-end.

I got to agree, that front end blows.
