What does everyone think about it?

I personally see it as a disappointingly evolutionary change over the C5. It improved in every respect, but it still lacks an attractive interior and I've seen facelifts that change the styling more.

Still a great car though.

I gotta agree with you on this.  I found the C6, much like the F430, to be a disspointing change.  I've been inside of the 'Vette and I agree with everything everyone says about the interior.  It's cheap and plasticy (Is that a word?).  The styling just doesnt say Corvette to me (Its more Viper-ish)  Im not saying it doesnt look good but it could be much better.  Alot of people love this car so to each his/her own

I wasn't disappointed in the C6 per se, I was just commenting that the redesign was decidedly evolutionary (which was probably all it needed anyway).

BTW did you find a C5's or a C6's interior to be cheap and plasticky?

Ive been in the C5 and the C6, both interiors are a bit plasticky.  I'm not really sure why I dislike the C6, just something doesnt click to me

i feel the same way about it, I do like the styling (exterior) but for some reason it just wasn't as good as it should be to replace the C5.  The interior is a bit bland and cheap looking, but i've never been in one so i can't say much

i used to think that one of the main reasons i didn't think the C6s styling was good enough was because it doesn't have pop-up headlights so i did a quick crappy photochop just to kinda get a basic look and then i made the vent curvier, well here it is

Your photochop looks better than the one with the exposed headlights because the headlights distract from the shape of the car.

I think that the C6 looks a lot better than the C5, but the rear end looks very awkward.

I agree, the rear end looks like it was cut off too soon, especially in a profile.

IMO the rear end looks the worst when you look at it head on. It's way too big compared to the rest of the car.
