The Gen 6 is a cool car, bu it blends in with many new cars because of the body style changes.
GM needs to give it a mean bad ass look of the Gen 7. The right decision for GM on the Gen 6 was to offer the ZL1 with the 650 hp V8 used in the C7 Z06, perhaps the Gen 7 will have the C7 ZR1 engine. Dodge and Ford continue to put the high power V8's in their cars.
Looking at these pics of the Gen 5 and Gen 6 you can really see the differences in the body design.

I agree with you, the gen 5 looks so much better than the gen 6 IMO. Your posting of the side by side photos make it really show that it is not even a close comparison, the 5 gen is a awesome retro car. The rear side window on the gen 6 reminds me of a 1971 or 1972 Mercury Comet or Ford Maverick.
