I wouldn't mind a smaller(and lighter) evolution of the C5 design!

This has to be the laziest 6th gen render ever. its just a 2014 without much changes at all

I get that but I'm not a fan of the drastic design changes like the Transformer style LED headlights.

That said, I hate the long drug out 6 months to nearly a year as you initially mentioned, where you get the reveal, but then just bits and pieces of information spread out over months and months. Its terrible.

I agree that 2 or 3 months between reveal, and final specs/ordering seems about right. If that means I have to wait longer for reveal, then so be it.

That said, and as much as I'd hate to admit, I'm thinking the data will show that the very slow trickle of information may result in better initial pre-orders and sales. This is what the manufacturers are doing now. Look at the new GM mid-size trucks. They revealed those things 9 or 10 months ago...heck maybe longer. Now that the time has FINALLY come GM has gotten some 5 times the number or orders that they expected.

The only time long drawn out waits can help is like the case of the Mustang. The numbers weren't as impressive as people hoped so limiting the information got the preorders before people were disappointed.

Anyone who pre orders before seeing or viewing specs of the car is dumb IMO.

Yeah, but that Ford would need accessories. Maybe that is what you were meaning?
