Default Actual Photo of C6

This was forwarded to me from someone who supposedly works for GM doing brochure work. It's different from the photos I have seen to date..

That was a magazine photo published months ago.

The dimensions and shape is not correct for the spy shots seen.

Whats with the C4 logo on the front anyway? We've already seen the C6 logo, as it was posted on another board and GM forced them to take it down.

I doubt thats even the Chevy SS. If it is, good luck sellin it. Looks identical to the pics Road & Track had for their renderings of the C6.

I am glad that is not the real car.That looks bad.

I did see a real shot of the exposed headlights and they didn't look good.

Methinks the C6 is going to be a loser as far as styling.

I truly hope not but the way things are shaping up has me worried.

"Trust" is not an issue. What was posted is a drawing.. not a photograph.

This was a rendering of what the editors, or some ppl w/n Road & Track or Car & Driver thought the C6 would look like.

Go to a search engine and type in Chevy SS ( i had a hyperlink, but the SOB wont working) There isnt much similar between the SS car, and that concept vette...besides maybe the color
