Because of the anticipated wait before the C7 becomes available for a reasonable amount, I will purchase a 2013 convertible, if I can find one with the required options (manual, magnetic ride control and 3LT) and trade in my 2006 coupe. Then I will trade the 2013 on a 2016 convertible in about three years. We'll see!!

It hasn't changed my mind. The C7 looks as good as I was hoping it would. I will hang on to my 2012 GS until Fall of 2014 and then buy a Torch Red w/Z51 and red interior.

No effect. I may own one (C7) in a few years, but not a 2014. First year of a new generation is likely to have some bugs. I might buy a used 2015+ eventually, but I don't like it enough to drop everything and join the stampede to be "the first kid on the block".
I'll continue to enjoy my C6's indefinitely.

I still dont care much for the rear end. I will wait til I actually eyeball a C7 before I go much further. So far, Laguna Blue with Chrome Wheels would be my choice. I dont know about the interior color as what I have seen of the 5 interior colors are a little dark for my liking. I wont buy the first year of the C7 anyway ...

At first I was "oh hellz yeah, where do I sign up" but now that the honeymoon is over I will definitely wait until I actually see one in the showroom. I love the looks, performance, the tail lights don't bother me in the least, the only thing that may possibly hold me back is the price, I need to know just how much the final price is going to be, anything north of 60K and I'm out for at least a year.
Another thing that was in the back of my mind is do I supercharge my C5. I paid it off recently and have ZERO car payments, I love that freedom but if I go the C7 route I will have to be making some for a couple of years and that doesn't sit too well with me but if I supercharge my C5 it may bring some new excitement into driving it and I won't have any payments. It would then be suffice until I can find a cheaper C7.

Yep makes me want to dump my C5 and skip the C6 to get one.
There are tons of upgrades that I love over the two.

Yes, I could do an engine swap but for 10K I don't know how much of an engine I'd get. I also love having a convertible, I've always had a convertible Corvette but if I go the C7 route I would have to wait longer to get one. Decisions, decisions.......
