The spy shots of test cars show the filler opening relocated to a position higher on the left rear quarter and further back than on the C5. Since that's not the sort of thing one would disguise, it's likely to be the real location, and that small portion of the body may well be correct. Obviously, the last 24 inches or so are heavily-disguised.

Where the cup holder is....
Hey-Just kidding. I voted same place as C5. And if I find that C6 turns out to be a keeper, I'll put on a nice metal flip open.

On the curve of the fender, like speculated on the C6 pics.

What was wrong with the way the C4 had it? You could pull in the gas station on any side.

Stretching the hose to the middle of the car is a pain.

:iagree: plus, you gotta worry about scratches from the bottom of the handle. I think it would be trick behind one of the tail lamps, but we all know that won't happen.

I like the C3,C4 spot in the center rear.
ATTN GM: The C5 location forces the driver to open the (large) door into the fuel station pump. Please relocate the fuel door. :yesnod:

I don't think that pics is a fuel door but I don't know what it is. I wonder just WHAT that "circle" is?

The circle on top of the fender and cut into the hatch is not the fuel door. The fuel door will be in exactly the same location as it is on the C5 and XLR.

I agree with you. I want to know just what that circle is?

You'd have to open your door into the fuel pump no matter where the gas cap is. Just don't pull in so close to the pump next time.

On contrare'. Both my SAABs have the fuel door on the pass. side which allows lots of room to open the drivers door ;)
And, in my 79 and 95 I pull up on the Left side for the same reason.
