This week the C6 was shown to Dealer Principals at the Venetian in Vegas. Supposedly a Red C6 was shown but not much information given on performance etc. Viewers elsewhere have said the following:

1. Fenders are higher and flow into fixed headlights that have lenses that show bulbs clearly.
2. Fog lights below the headlights.
3. Looks remind some viewers of Ferrari
4. Side scoops are not as deep as C5
6. Four tail lights
7. redesigned rear end that has a VERY short overhang.
8. Though 6" shorter overall and 1.2" shorter in Wheel Base, short overhangs make the WB look and I quote, 5" longer.
9. Very Edgey, pointy or edgey where C5 is rounded.
10. Interior controls appear to be incorporated more into the dash design, rather that the appearance of being components.
11. C6 emblem is same as C5 without the Oval.

Lee,

I think that pic is way off. Several Vegas viewers have metioned that it looks remind of Ferrari. That pic does not. I think this one is closer:

I showed the pic I posted to some one that was there. They said that was the car.The nose IMHO stinks , but the rest of the car is fine. I liked the famous yellow car the best of all with the tiger shark nose.

Thanks so much for this info.

Only about 100 days until we all can see it in Detroit!

Actually that is NOT jujubee's yellow pic. Though based on that famous pic, it was modified by Brian Kuper by adding sharper creases and angles. Another Vegas Viewer claims this yellow pic is right on, so who knows. If either you or I were there, we would remember every detail and be prepared to discuss them. But these guys were salesmen and owners. All they saw was a profit / gouging opportunity on that stage.
