These pics are nice. And the blinkers on the GT500 are located in the same spot as the other models. There's just a plastic sticker on the headlights

why in the world does the v6 have a better looking bumper than the gt, it mimicks the svt cobra; i am trying to drop gt500 from my vocabulary..lol.. and i hate that the v6 and gt share the same hood.. just saying.
I think the GT has a better looking bumper than the V6. The v6 looks like a fat cheeked, chubby, smiling dorky younger brother of the GT500. The GT looks like.. it doesn't give a **** what it looks like because it's pissed. And that works for me.

I don't think these are blinkers, but I was guessing that everyone is referring to these? (Is that what we're talking about?)

One thing I will say is that 2010 looks like a REALLY GOOD YEAR for WHEELS. I love everything I have seen these cars rolling on.

The image of the three cars is a bit puzzling . It would stand to reason that the middle car was the GT BUT the back car has the grill mount fog lamps. the middle car has a "miniature GT500 " look to it also.

I may get flamed for this, but today's V6 is a very bland looking front ( at least w/o the Pony Pkg ) The GT somehow always looked more aggressive. With fuel prices up, it'd make sense for the V6 to get the most makeover work, so perhaps they decided on an evolutionary design for the GT, and gave the V6 the 07 Shelby-ized front. Either way, both look really good.

I don't have any insider knowledge of this, just guessing.

The middle one is the V6, the rear is the GT. That's based on the Pony (Express?) spyshots and the fact that the going formula is Grille Fogs equal GT.

Gonna die laughing if the GT-500 end up with better interior materials than the Base Corvette.

Personally, I think the new GT looks downright menacing and, IMO, the better-looking of the three variants.

It is my understanding that these cars are pulling there cues from the 1970 mustang. That car did not have a C cut either. Take a look are these pics and you can begin to see where the new car is going with its design.

I really do not like how they black out the entire section between the headlights on the GT. The V6 looks much better IMHO. Any idea why they are doing this???
