"None of the cars in the entry lux segment are particularly attractive"

Must respectfully disagree.

Audi A5/S5 is gorgeous.

True, though I really prefer the original to the update. I'm hoping the do better with the next one.

A5/S5 is 'entry lux'?  I thought that was the A4.  I wouldn't consider the GS or 5 series 'entry'.

It's basically the same car as the A4, just minus two doors. Interior is the same, platform is the same, engines are the same. BMW is going the same route, the upcoming coupe version of the F30 will be called the 4 series. Audi competes with the GS and 5 with the A6.

Looks like the back of a Camaro facepalm

At least they didn't do that retro shit.

Nope, not retro.  I'm sure it'll be in the next Transformers movie.  Won't need any makeup.

I had always liked how the rear glass pinched towards a teardrop.  Oh well.

My initial reaction to the red was pretty bad. There is another set of pictures in red with lots of flood lighting on it and it looks very poor. The lighting really brings out those hard lines.

I like the look of the C6, nothing really screams out at you.

Like from this angle/lighting the car looks dreadful. Doesn't really resemble the ones posted a couple of posts up

Blecch.

GM hasn't made a decent looking performance car since the 2003-07 Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO.  Still wish I'd bought one of those.  A 5.7 liter Vette V8 and a back seat--what's not to love?

I can't get over the front of the new Lexii. Looks like a bad photoshop.
