Nice work, I am waiting to see the front in person, but I definately don't like the back up lights.

Could you get a good look at the interior at the show?

Yeah... I don't care too much for the back up lights on the ground either... :skep:
Interior looked nice from what I could see. :D

Looks very much like torch red there. They had a folded, single page brochure / flyer that displayed a red vette but did not indicate the color shown - could be a painting not a pic? Anyway, it is a beautiful, candy looking red. Not multi-hued like the 50th anv, but bright without the orange tint in torch red. If this flyer is what precision red looks like out in the daylight, that's my color!!!

I went to the Detoit auto show today and saw the C6 in person. Overall I am disappointed with the appearance. It was love at first sight with the C5. It didn't happen with this car. To me it looks like a watered down Viper. :(

The more I see that front, the more I get used to it. Definitely not bad at all. :thumbs: It doesn't look like we are seein the actual production models though. The finish work isn't all there. Overall they look great, but if you look closely, you see the lack of minor detail work. I think the production models will have smaller gaps, crisper lines, better paint, and better assembly quality. Computers and assembly machines are a lot better with details than we are. These could've been hand built. Just my 2 cents. :chevy
I recall one guy that was at the show sayin, when he heard the trunk get closed, it made that same old clunking noise. Probably wouldn't have that if the car was the production model.

In a few of those pics, it appears that the rotors are NOT cross-drilled.

That's the same car we've seen in other Detroit pics, right? They must be cross drilled.

Torch red is too orange. Precision red is much nicer.

:iagree: I know a lot of you guys won't like this but I do not think the C6 is an improvement over the C5 as far as looks go. I know they can't stay the same forever but I was hoping for something that would grab me more than this. The C5 did grab me when I first saw it and still does seven years later.
