    Wow, it's Orange. The front looks like a Pontiac.

    Thumbs down Looks too much like a Firebird.

    The C-5 suffered the same criticism...looking like some Firebirds (even I made the mistake of waving to a few 'Birds in my time)...and GM listened to those complaints...with some of that feedback resulting in how we view the C6 today. No Firebird comparisons now!

    If that picture above is used, then comparisons to other brands will resurface. Not good economic sense in todays' competitive market. Who wants a Cadillac looking like a Yugo (sic)?

    I see a whole lot of shark influence in the fender rises...

    Push that scoop closer to the windshield and put a stinger on it and you might be on to something. Gotta lose the the divider on the grill, though.

    I like it - with the exception of the hidden headlights.

    NICE!

    Old C3 narrow wasp body style, raised fenders like a C3, and HIDDEN HEADLIGHTS, YAY!!!!

    I would have bought a C6 but I like the C5 body style much better. I DESPISE exposed headlights, ruins the whole Vette streamlined look—to me. I have even seen a C6 headlight mod for headlight doors in a Vette mag.

    THIS looks very nice.

    I am also glad to see the hidden headlights return. But I have to agree with Mifka--lose the center of the grille

    I think the hidden headlights are a pipedream.
    There are times for thinking, and times for acting, but the art is in the balance

    It looks nice but the grille devider looks like a Pontiac beak. That has to go. The hidden lights could work with the smaller size of projector beams not requiring the big buckets that would cut into tire clearance room. I can't see them ever coming back though due to cost and the aero drag they produce when open.

    Someone's photoshop. Nothing real about this one. Corvette will not return to pop-up headlights. Won't happen. Not even close. Nice jpob though, whoever did it.

    I agree. With more strict fuel regulations coming up in the future, Corvette Engineers are staying focused on limiting weight. Popup headlights, while they may look cool with some car designs, adds unnecessary weight.

    I like the C6's headlight design, but in the future, I'd like to see a redesign; something a little more sinister looking and not quite so rounded.

    I agree - GM needs to get a little bolder in its Corvette designs.

    That is the worst place for the "Stingray" logo.
