I suppose the artist - not me - couldn't make the under-glass headlights body color as reported by the Vegas Viewers, so we will need to use our imaginations for that. We also need to imagine fog lights in those outmost cavities in the "grill".

Wish I could draw these things, I think we will see the hood's power bulge come to a point like a C2 with the emblem placed at the end like a C2. I think the C6 design theme will be "V" as the C5's "theme" was the oval.

I still think there is trickery by GM going on!!! There are discrepancies between the camo'd cars and the one shown to the dealers. HMMMMMMMMMMMM

The depth of the side vents. The slope of the hood. The cut of the headlight covers. I can't say much more.

Is the depth of the side vents deeper? The hood slope steeper? What about the headlights?

Ross, there must be some sort of commentary brewing... Don't tell us that you're speechless.

So, let's here it. :TALK

All I think of when I look at this picture is a jack-o-lantern face.

I for one, don't like it.Those tiny air-ducts are but ugly.They make the car look like a ricer.The headlights can't come out looking like thes ones because they wrap bend down the sides of the fenders.I have to end posting now because I can't bear to look at this rendition any longer......I despise those black mags too.

Yeah, I think this looks pretty bad, too. My first impression on seeing it was, well, to remember a term us kids used when I was 11 years old and to call it "retarded" looking. I really hope all these GM camo cars are heavily camo'd, and the basic lines of the real car are different. Everything I have seen thus far looks like a mid-term "freshening" of the C5, and as with most freshenings they don't work too well.

Regardless of whether you like the pic or not,you just don't appear to be very observant. If a C6 and C5 were parked next to each other, you would see a significant change in dimensions and not a single body pannel even similar. From the outside, the two appear to have only the windshield in common - few people would pick up on this. The casual (not vette lover) would not even suspect the number of similarities under the very different skins. Even the cut of the door openings, the side glass and hatches are very different. If you consider this to be a freshening, your standards are not realistic.
