I'm just glad they didn't mess it up like some other manufacturers (BMW).

I plan to be in attendance for thepress unveiling of the new C6 at the NAIAS in Detroit in early January. Once I have full pics of the angles and the interior, I'll be posting them so we can all see what it will look like in full. As it is now, I think they took too many cues from the Viper, and the tail still looks too fat to me. Since I can't see the front, I'll have to wait before I can form a solid opinion on it...
YUK... I think the side is HORRIBLE. Looks like the C6 had sex with a Z4 and came out with this.
Maybe it will look better in person! -- I hope.

nah I think this is when Chevy vette xxxed a dodge viper and tries to marry the reversed DNA of the NSX
but I like it
Chevy's improving

I also think it looks like a new Viper and C5 mixed. I like the rear(which is what I'll be seeing). 
But the long hood totally turns me off as it did with the C5.

I would say looking at the smaller pics, it is very much a Viper and C5 crossed together...

The C6 may not be a revolutionary design but I think it looks good. Sure, it may be a cross between a C5 and a Viper...but that's OK. I don't mind the styling of the new Viper; reminds of the S2K actually. If the C6 is a nice combo and comes with a kickass interior and costs less than $50K...it will be a winner. Actually, as far as sales go, I think it will be a winner regardless since the Corvette has a huge following. People haven't even seen the car and are putting deposits down (kinda like some people here putting deposits on the next gen NSX).

Lot s of similarity angles compare to the current C5.

I think Chris Bangle did an excellent job with the Z4, M3, 7 series and now the 5 series. They are bad ass looking and "look" to be worth the asking price.
The wheel openings make the (I am guessing) 18" rims look like 13's. That opening looks like it was made for a 24" 
are those the production wheels? yuck! body styling is nice, i think.
So far, I think it looks great! Though seeing the front is going to be a big factor in the appearance equation. I'll reserve final judgement until then.
FWIW, I have yet to meet anyone (even two owners) who think the current 7 series is attractive. The 5 series looks even worse and at best the Z4 is "controversial." Pics of the 6 series coupe, look...well "controversial" is the operative word.
Now what kind of engine is supposed to be powering the C6? Rumors on the next gen Z06 engine?

Well I see more as you say "ugly" 7's on the road now than any other production year. They must be winning someone over! I love the big bad ass rear end of the 7. It looks mean as hell. I have always liked BMW's (4 year member of the BMWCCA) but now I love them!
As far as the C6 goes, It will sell a ton (due to the bargain) but still looks like it is missing a bit on the looks dept. It is stuck between a Grand Touring car and a true Sports car as far as looks go. Maybe GM wants to grab sales from both buyer types????

The 7 has grown on me... I like it except the trunk. I HATE the 5.. looks worse.. and the Z4 is nasty to me.
Shawn, the new vette is supposed to have a 6L 405 HP engine stock and the Z06 closer to 500 HP.

WHen I first saw the new 5 series, I thought it was the new Grand Prix.NetViper said:
Somehow I'm coming to admire styling from years gone by more than many of the "current" trends.
Re: C6, I like it so far. Keep in mind this is one side-shot and there's only so much detail you can see. I'll reserve my final judgement until I see some front 1/4-views. Chevy definitely was not pushing the envelope styling-wise but hey, the C5 isn't looking dated yet anyway.
