Someone's neighbor has a C6 in their driveway...{pictures}

I just saw this on one of the ls1 sites.

I never really talk to him, but I just walked outside and said "That you're new ride in the driveway?" and he replies "well... for the next couple of days."

He owns a yellow c5 right now, I want to go take pic's but im scared, and I've never really talked to the guy :wall:

Looks like it has a bug or two on it.

what are you guys talking about? this car is a whole generation ahead of our cars... the headlights are constructed properly(thank god) the actual bulbs are planted in a graphical pattern.. the interior is so much modernized and cool... navigation system seats that dont ripple as much as ours.. a very sharp rear.... the C5 may appear more appealing to you becuase ur used to it.. but this car is a BOMB....

just to tease you guys..

i think the sound system would sound so much better especially with the front speakers lifted compared to the C5..

The c6 in these pics looks just terrible.

NOT liking this car at all. I better hurry out and buy another c5 and store it before they are all gone.

The only thing I like about the new interior is the Nav screen...the rest of it sucks IMHO.

This car is definatley a test mule. Showroom version I feel will look more "finished". I dont know if I like the C6 yet - I have to see it in person. From the early pics of the C6 Vert I have seen it appears that the C6 will look VERY nice in convertible form, though.

C6 Z06- more HP, less weight, less overhang, Heinricy improved handling. What's not to like?

The drilled rotors are a plus but I think the interior is still a bit too plasticky. Maybe the delivery cars will have a bit more finish.

Notice no outward giveaways like badges or emblems. Maybe they're checking quality on some of the early units in the "real-world" setting.
