hmmmm...

i see a resemblance


seriously though, the yellow looks very ugly on that car because of the ugly headlights. it looks better in red.
i hope chevrolet gives the corvette a more noticeable face lift soon. i love corvettes but, sheesh, that is one ugly car.

I think those headlights would look okay on silver or black, but that yellow is horrible.

I'm tired of this sham, I'm gonna say the truth.

The new corvette looks miles better than the old one, popup headlights have had their day. The new corvette is a beatiful looking car, it has an excellent interior and powertain, not to mention it's world class suspension. In short the the vette kicks more hiney than any other american car and more than a heck of a lot of imports.

And thats the gods truth.

Oh, that's simply not true. You'll have to take my word for it.

OK, that's tacky. Sorry (not reallly). Moving right along...

What C&D said about the car is what has me interested:

Highs: "More powerful engine, attractive interior, comfortable ride, immense grip, fantastic price, supportive seats, balanced handling, short-throw shifter ... we'll stop there."

Lows: "The various electronic features -- keyless start, auto door locks, electric door latches -- can be more annoying than useful."

The Verdict: "Hill and company have given us more of what we liked, fixed what we didn't. A five star ride."

Sounds good to me!

I agree about the yellow though; it doesn't do it for me at all. Bright red on mine please.

I love everything about the C6 except that front end. Sure, pop-up headlights are yesteryear, but that doesn't mean they had to put in ugly integrated ones.

It's a beautiful car, and appears to be much nicer than the C5, but that front end... *shivers*

true,
the C6 has more detail and curves then the C5, and is the best automobile built in the united states at a bargain price, but those darned headlights

i love the vette, it was my first favorite car
