So now we can actually see the outline of the actual grille opening. This shows that the front is actually a fake giving the front end the look of a Gen 5 when the real opening can now be seen.

I'm seeing the top of the Chevy front end, maybe a little Chevy SS like or the 130R??

Orrrrrr is this a 1 piece Audi like which could give credence to the Gen2 homage???

I really hope it's not the corporate grille. It looks bad enough on the rest of the cars.

Yeah it needs its own grill. That's why I like the fact that the Challenger didn't get a crosshair grill like the other Dodges.

I think it was Tom Peters that said no way in heck they are using a corporate grill for the sixth gen.

I don't trust the grill, or the opening that we see. Compare the first car to the third car. The cover on the third car appears to be loose at the center of the lower spoiler, letting the fabric get drawn into the opening..... I would expect to see that ugly horizontal grill that we see on the first car, but we don't.

The bottom line of the upper grill opening also seems to be at a different angle on every car. I think those bras have more support wires than a big ol' DOUBLE D bra

Your lines don't match up, the upper grill extends to the headlights and the lower grill is much wider then where your lines are, I'm no expert but that much I can tell.

Allow me to respectfully dissent, though. I think that the shape of the car under wraps is far closer to the overall shape of the current Camaro than it is to that concept sketch.
A lot of those sketches say final design on them. This may have been the starting point for the design of the C6. It may closely resemble a C5 with a modern twist. I'm excited to see that thing. I will hate to have to trade in my C5 though.

I theorized when we first saw the photos that they used padding to make the car look a bit longer then it actually is. Will have to wait and see how things turn out though I fully expect an evolution of the current car though a bit smaller/lighter.

There are no headlights visible.

But if you look beyond the mesh in the original photo you can see the grill openings that I've highlighted. I'm not speculating at this point. You can see the real grill opening in the original photo.

My only speculation is 1 piece or 2.

If the 6th gen comes with the corporate grille or a 2nd gen front fascia, I won't buy it. Either one would be a colossal failure on Chevy's part.
