I just had a further consideration, they said the former design team
member from Cadillac came over to the CORVETTE design team, as head engineer. He must have left his senses and his pencils over at Caddy. And then he enlisted, as it would seem, the entire 'failing' staff of the PONTIAC AZTEC design team. It would seem also, that the main objective to Chevrolet design, isn't perpetuating the design we all love and crave in the newer models, but painting 'targets' on the tops of their shoes, so they can increase their 'hit/miss' ratio when and while they continue to shoot themselves in the feet. WAY TO GO CHEVY...YOU ABISSMALLY DESTROYED THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCKS, NOW, BE SURE AND RUIN THE ONLY AMERICAN SPORTS CAR MADE IN THE U.S.! '71 LT-1 Roadster/2 tops 4 Spd. '95 LT-1 Coupe/Torch Red |

If I was given a choice between a new C4, and a C6 The C4 would be the winner in styling hands down. However, since the C5 is a refined C4 in appearance it would be chosen over the C4 The C6, just looks like another eurotrash clone (Accura, Mitsubishi, come to mind) ... that damn "teardrop" headlight trend is like a cancer ! It would've looked better had they gone with perhaps a rectangular design integrated into the body (vs. the monkey see monkey do look of the current style). I could've purchased a C5, or a C6 - it was no contest, the C5 is clearly more sleek looking .. (it's too bad you couldn't fit the new engineering of the C6 into the C5). C6 = what happens when you have a cadillac engineer screwing w/an American icon - hopefully a new team will design the C7 |

You say "eurotrash", and then list two Japanese cars as examples. Which is it? -- "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas.

So, the question is - do people want a Corvette with pop-up headlights, or better performance ? |
