Not So Sure About C6 Now!

[V8 ETE]

My C5 is up for sale,hopefully for the purchase of a C6
However after seeing it on Top Gear (nothing to do with the commentry about the car), I am now having second thoughts.

Everyone who knows my C5 have said that the C5 is a better looking car, and criticised the look of the front of the C6. I do think the C6 looks a bit too small and skinny at the rear end any thoughts anyone.

So the choice is keep what I have, or follow lusifers example and buy a Z06.

I have to say, asside from the fact that I don't like the front end, something else which did strike me was the apparent size of the car - it looks LOADS smaller than my C5!

If you look at the bit of Video Vetteheadracer posted on the other thread, look at the bit where Jezza is stood behind the car - it looks tiny!

Don't know if it was just the camera, or GM have made the car smaller to increase rigidity again...?

Could be that JC is something like 6'5"???

I hated the car when i looked at those first pictures. After going to Bowling Green and looking at them ther and out on the road I changed my mind. The car really isn't going to look small. From the front the hood is a bit shorter and that makes it look wider. If you have not seen one yet then wait and make up your own mind when you see one. Like the C5, they don't photo very well. Colour also makes a big difference - they look bad in that dark red - even in real life.

I've gotta disagree - I think the C5 looks great in photos!
