I never noticed before I saw this picture of a C6 from such a low angle, but it's front fenders are slightly flared, remenicent of the C3 Shark:

Makes me like the C6 even more.

Shame I'll probably never own one.

The car look better in person than any photo I have seen.  We have two of them at the college, and I can't drive them.  Only the GM dealer instructor can.  Bummer.

ye, it does look good but from that low look it looks as if the c6 is smiling at you with bug eyes! I hate those headlights, only negative I can say about it. Like everything else on it.

actually, i think there is alot of similarities between the c6 and
the c3- most of which i think is intentional- look at the doors and
rear fenders- there is a slight coke-bottle shape like the sharks-
the tried to put more of a boat tail on the back end as well. they
still have the quad-round tail lights too. the front end is
obviously the strongest similarity. (minus the bug-eyes)

personally i think that each year has many of the same design
features carried over- for example the 84 at first looks nothing
like a c3- but if you compare line by line, curve by curve, they
look very much alike, aside from stretching and flattening the
shapes.

most c2 and up vettes have the bubble rear fast-back style
windows

they are all full frame two door designs

they all had flip open hoods

they all had tapers at the nose (c3-up)

almost all vettes have the four tail lights (in one variation or
another)

there was most always a center console- two seater config

just my 2¢

Our CFO just got a new c6.  Its really nice, but I still like the classic styling.
