Gotta agree with you Mr Bill on the C5 and C2. I want to see the C7 first though before I'm sold on it - some shots I love it, some I'm not so sure (especially from the back).
C5 i think will stand the test of time because of it's styling.

I guess I'm one of the few here when I say the c6 is my least favorite. It just looks so unthreatening and happy. the Z isnt bad with the wide body, but the stock is just disgusting I'll always love my c5, as others have said, its timeless!

First time I saw the C5 my reaction was I can't wait to BUY one!! C6 and C7, sadly, opposite reaction. I'm waiting to see a C7 in person before I buy a Cayman S. Keep the C5 of course!

The C5 is still my favorite and I really like the C7.
For old school, the C2.

I have to disagree somewhat. I like the overall lines of the C7, but I really dislike that huge triangular spear that has been stuck onto the lower side of the car; the vents would look better if they were less conspicuous, perhaps body colour and at the rear, I do not like the four symmetrically spaced tail pipes; it would look better with two exiting on each side behind the wheels Ferrari fashion. The tail lights - okay, but not great.
Here is is in Arctic White:

Here is a Photoshop of it in White with tinted windows, "modified rear lights", Exhaust tips in the edge like you said, and no top vents in the rear quarter.
Wow! good work; I'm impressed - I do like the exhaust change; maybe the after-market will step up and do that.
One more quibble: that silver grill bar makes the c7 look like an adolescent who is waiting for his last appointment with the orthodontist.

Unfortunately I'm not that talented and cannot take credit... 
Though who ever did has some serious skill!
However I did create a thread in the C7 section with a compilation of Hi Res photos and various Photoshopped images...

Absolutely right Mr. Bill.
I'm sold on the C7-cyber gray. Thinking of a way to explain to the wife why I need to keep the C5 torch red vert as well, along with the BMW 5 for the snow.
Any fool proof suggestions would be appreciated LOL.
Regards Mr. Bill.

The first pics of the C-7 where of a red version, then a yellow car. This week I saw a pic of a medium metallic gray C-7. I was absolutely stunned, I need to see one up close, but that was awesome, possibly better looking than the C5.
BTW, my C5 is spiral gray.
