I won't be interested in a C7 until they have been in production a few years. It will take that long for the bugs to be worked out and for me to get used to the new design.

Love my C6, has only 16300 miles, and still gives me a thrill to look at and drive. Love the C7, but will wait til 2016 or beyond for all the bugs to be worked out, then I'll most likely ****** up a low miles used one. I'm patient, so the wait for the perfect ride is fine by me.

I have a 2006 coupe purchased new. I kept it longer than I should of and got caught up in, if I drive a lot the newness will be gone. Well it is not new anymore and it's starting to show around the edges. Looking back should of traded it on a 2009 model. I'm not making that mistake again, I'm driving the C6 more now and enjoying it immensely. The C7 convertible will be available, after all the hype, spring of 2015 (maybe hopefully sooner). I'm going to drive a lot more and trade every three years or 15,000 miles. Who cares if it is raining? Life's short.

My 2007 Z51 has been a fantastic car. I've upgraded the seats, stereo, and exhaust to make it even better. I will likely keep it till the C8 comes out. I'm hoping that wont be a camaro/Vette.

I tried to like the C7, really did try but everytime I browse the pics and there is a shot of the nether reigons I see a $21K base camaro. Maybe time will change this but for now its the 12 GS for a long time - long - time. 2012GS Crystal Red A6 with A&A kit in the garage awaiting installation JL sub - LED's and fresh Michelins at 10K last month.
By the way not happy the new cars get decent tires now instead of the crapyear tires we were saddled with...no wonder it handles and corners better huh.

I'm not sure, but I really enjoy driving my C6 GS. Looks like my trend of liking only even Corvette generations will continue (C2,C4,C6 and hopefully C8). So no C7 for me, but will probably trade the GS for a 991 911 Carrera S at some point. Finally Porsche got that car right so I can own one before I depart this earth . The C7 is not horrible, but just didn't talk to me. Too 'robocop' for me; should have been named the Pontiac Stingray .

What a huge disappointment the C7 is. I'll keep my C6 until I replace it with a Saleen Mustang, C8 vette, or something else that looks great. Th C7 looks like a cross between a camaro, a cadillac and a corvette. The cam-ill-ette?
