I always liked this one. Quite some people I know think this car isn't cool, but I think it's exactly that. Cool. I also liked the C5 a lot, not because I thought it was pretty, but basically because I thought it was cool.

uncool its an american brick, very little style or coolness involved.

Not only would you look like you couldnt quite streatch to the 911 or ferrari, but you would also have to explain quite why it was riding like an 1500's ox cart.

For somebody with driving experience probably exceeding little more than a bicycle you sure know how a C6 drives/rides.

C6 = pretty cool.

Harsh ride, remote and disconnected-feeling steering, poor rear end control and a lot of trouble putting that power down coming out of corners (maybe the leaf-sprung rear end has something to do with that). Good looking, more svelte, compact and pugnacious-looking than the previous gen, but it still can't be cool in my book. The Z06 perhaps, but certainly not the standard car.

i'll go for uncool because i really don't like the interior, this plastic stuff is too bad. the shape of the car and the engine are ok but not good enough for a cool.

If you have one in Europe it's cool because it's rare and different

If you have one in the VS... uncool

I say cool, not because its a good car.

but because women love the word "corvette", I have a friend who has an old slow one, and all he has to say is "wanna ride in my corvette".... Got ya bitch!

i don't know if this is really good, but it's good to see that the quality of the interior raised
