Default C5 front ends are gorgeous

Just spent some time in the C6 section and wow...many are agonizing over the front plate issue.

One guy basically photoshopped the C5 front end to the C6 and I have to agree with him that it really improves the looks of that car.

How ironic...new C6 made to look better by using C5 front end...

GM should hire that guy on their design team and fire the mad scientist who made the C6 look like a Euro/Japanese/American car all rolled into 1.

Let them live long and be happy with their C6's - me, I'm happy with what I have!

I'm sorry they don't like the design for the license plate on the front of the C6 - but really who the heck cares?????

If there was an aftermarket open headlight kit that looked like that, I'd consider it. Looks good!

It does make it look less like a demented jack-o-lantern, I agree. Still, jack-o-lanterns ARE presently seasonal, however, they are not timeless, like the c5.
hmmm. Maybe that was a bit tough.
sorry

Can't believe that GM didn't design in a decent looking front license plate holder. Sure wouldn't want the factory one that is currently available on the front end.
