Ever since I watched the discovery channel show about the C6 I thought it looked alot like a 240 hatch... anyone else see the resemblance? It looks like a ultra modern 240...

For some reason I just don't think it looks that hot in real life. The C5 just seems more, I dunno, advanced looking, like it came second and the C6 came first. I love the C6 headlights though.

I think that the C6 looks way better, and I can also see the resemblance to a S13 240.

(Yay, my car is used for an example )

i got out of work one day and saw a silver car that look similar to a ferrari parked by itself. after looking closer, i notice it's the new corvette. that thing looks "freaking hot" up close in real life.

i agree with all of you;

the corvette looks hot and with the new headlights it looks like a ferrari from the front.

a S13 does kinda look like it, but this hatchback design is used a lot.

thats all i can think of off the top of my head right now but it is a much used design.

But it is a GREAT design

I'm not talking about just the hatch, but just the car as a whole.

ah, tehre are 2 of them in my town already. they're SWEET looking...a black and a red...omg i almost peed myself the first time i saw it...it's seemingly much smaller then the C5 and looks much more aggressive. I like the style but i miss the wide flanking look of the C5

well then it's a trifecta of copycats. Because they all look so alike. Ugh.

hmmm, I love the corvette (not only because that is my nickname my friends gave me way back in the day ).

However, the z06 headlights are tite, but I'm a fan of the old-school pop-up lights. Gooooo popup lights.

Of course they had to go those lights, else people would think it was a 240 from the front, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I saw a red one when I was at English Town in Jersey at the Drag race. I took a pic of a red one and I must say that it looks frigging AWESOME!

It's a classic shape, definitely. Very nice--for both the S13 hatch and the C6.

Oh, here are some really awesome pop up headlights. It's a 1991 Cizeta Moroder.
