Just giving you a hard time, bluecoupe-- and couldn't pass up an opportunity to slam Microsoft while I had the chance...

I guess I didn't expect "an entirely new Corvette" like you did, since I knew that the C5 was really an incredible platform on which to build. A recent article I read quoted one of the Corvette team execs stating this very fact, so I figured it would be more evolutionary than revolutionary. But that's not always a bad thing, IMHO.
With so many things done right on the C5, and it being considered the best all-around (performance, quality, design, etc.) Corvette ever, in my mind there's no need at this point to go berserk and change everything "just because." The C6 styling is similar to the C5, certainly, but I think that's sort of the point-- it's still recognizable as a Corvette (to me, anyway).
With that said, at this point, I like the C6's design, but I'm going to have to get used to it, just like I did with the C5. As a teenager, I got really into Corvettes during the C4 era, and especially liked the looks of the redesigned '91 and forward models. I thought the C5 was pretty awesome when it came out, but it still took a little getting used to for me. Once I did get used to it, I began to prefer its design over the C4. I'm sure I'll be going through this same getting-used-to process with the C6. Don't know if I'll prefer it more than a C5, but time will tell...
So, my long-winded suggestion to you and everyone else (myself included), is to give it a chance to grow on you before formulating your final opinion on it. In any case, it's a
new Corvette-- that's something to be excited about in its own right!
