I tend to agree that the C6 looks better than the lumpy, zaftig C5; it's leaner and more athletic. I don't mean to offend C5 owners since this is just my opinion, but the C5 never grew on me. There was never a time when I looked at a C5 and thought "wow, that's a beautiful car" the same way I say it about all other Corvette models. Even a beat-up 70s shark has a kind of graceful beauty that the marshmallowy C5 will never have. That said, I do wish the C6 had concealed headlights, I think the car would look better. Without them, some of the mystique is gone from the car. I do believe that the C6 convertible is one of the most beautiful Corvettes ever designed, and I wouldn't change a thing (except for the headlights). The more I look at it, the more I like it, from some angles the lower lip in front is very stylish, the way it echoes the bumper above it. I like the front grille too, and the arched fenders, the way they cut into the doors. It took me a while to get used to the funny-looking rear end, but it kinda grows on you.
