Default Saw a C6 on Western Ave!!!!

I was surprised to see one!

Silver C6 on Western Avenue in Chicago.

Looks nice, overall, you can kind of tell that's a bit shorter than the C5.

I do not like the headlights being body coloured, I bet that aftermarket will come up with better looking ones.

Car had a very nice stance.

I don't like the body colored headlights either.

I am willing to bet alot of owners will paint that area under the clear plastic black.

I never realized they were body colored. No wonder I thought they looked like crap. I wonder if there are still some good deals on C5s...

I think they will look good on the black cars, but I'm not a fan of them on the colored cars either.

They look like 3000 Stealth headlights.

I like the headlights the way they are. Especially the electron blue cars and the black cars. Can't wait until the convertibles come out, they look sweet.

Headlites look funny... I thought of the departed Stealth, and recall vaguely that maybe a Ferrari has headlights like that too. I'm sure the headlights look okay on a dark car.

This was Western and Lawrence up North.

PSJ, are you sure the car didn't belong to YOU?

I can't wait to see one in person. In the pics, I like it a lot more than the C5, but pics are only part of the story. Gotta see the 3D version.

Tell that silver one to cruise the near-north 'burbs a little bit so I can check it out.

You can say that again. Try going to 55th and Western Ave about 2 am on a Saturday, nothing but fun times. BTW, give the hood rats out in Gage Park a big shout out from me.

Skeered? Nope, I lived on 47th St for about 9 months. 111th is that Franklin Park or South Holland?
