What do you like better C-6 round tail lights or OVAL of the C-5?????????


I will take round tail light.

Either case its a vette rear styling trademark and tradition. History show there has been round, oval, and rounded squares.

C-6 has a reflector optics the give the feeling of taillamps being a "glow reminiscent of jet afterburners" a quote fast-auto.net |grin| |grin| |grin| |grin|

I like the round tail-lights but I think the shape of the rear of the C5 makes the ovals work for it. I haven't seen the C6 up close yet but I like its overall look. They put a pic of one up on the billboard last week and so I get a good look everyday on my way down to Dearborn, Mi.

I down with the rounds of the C6, this time around. I'm good with the ovals for the C5. This is just another differentiating feature that keeps these two sweet models unigue.

Source Road & track:


"The four-tailgiht rear-end treatment is retained and while the lamps are not perfectly round they look circular instead of the previous car's ovals.

I'm still waiting to see a European version with the Amber turn signals. I don't understand why this isn't a world wide tail light.

i have the ambers on my C5..look awesome. I dont think they would look as good on the C6 however, but i dont know why. |headscratch|

maybe because most pics so far are of precision red, which i am not too fond of.
