I love the back. I love the side (except for the mirrors) and I love the front. 
It's practically a Viper from the front. The interior looks a little boring but it doesn't look flimsy.. It says, "I'm an Audi".

C6 build quality
One thing that should help somewhat with the C6's potential reliability is the new exposed headlights. The electric motors, linkages and flip-up doors on the old car necessary for the hideaway headlights were often unreliable, so you often had just one headlight (or none) when you needed two. Or they would jam in the up position and just sit there and look ugly.
Mazda did the same thing with the last Miata redesign....got rid of the pop-up lights for regular ones.

The new C6 has some great design elements but the 'whole' doesn't work for me.
The picture to me below shows how the front is too low or the rear is too high (take your pick), the front looks a bit too long - it just doesn't look balanced. I'm sure it's a heck of a great drive, but it's not a 10 in my styling book.

Purchase or no, GM products tend to get a lot of comments in this column about poor build quality....much of it deserved. My point, though, that even with so-so fit-and finish and a tendency to get a lot of squeaks and rattles, a ' Vette is a LOT of car for the money. European sports cars like the 911 that offer similiar performance often cost twice as much.
