C6 at the Venetian in Vegas

Senna1994 · 09-11-03, 02:04 PM

It appears that this week the C6 was shown to Dealer Principals at the Venetian in Vegas. Supposedly a Red C6 was shown but not much information given on performance etc. Supposedly though the Car was a stunner. Only four months to go until this Beauty is shown.

Viewers elsewhere have said the following:

1. Fenders are higher and flow into fixed headlights that have lenses that show bulbs clearly.
2. Fog lights below the headlights.
3. Looks remind some viewers of Ferrari
4. Side scoops are not as deep as C5
6. Four tail lights
7. redesigned rear end that has a VERY short overhang.
8. Though 6" shorter overall and 1.2" longer in Wheel Base, short overhangs make the WB look [quote] 5" longer.
9. Very Edgey, pointy or edgey where C5 is rounded.
10. Interior controls appear to be incorporated more into the dash design, rather that the appearance of being components.
11. C6 emblem is same as C5 without the Oval.

Everyone agrees that no performance / engine information was provided and, was stated, will not be until January.

I didn't see any specific dates but last weekend seems to be included in the showing time.

great report on news! Much appreciated ..not quite sure about the statement made about the wheelbase being 1.2 inches shorter though.

Caddy xlr 1.2 inches longer wheelbase should mean that the C6 wheelbase will also be longer by 1.2 inches than current design.

Probably looks more dramatic because the car has much shorter overhangs.
