I have a C6 and love it. I had a sweet C5 too. I still think the C5 is one of the best looking Vettes, even over the C6. I like the C5 rear end. It looks like 'awesome SPEED'.
I like the C6 because the car is better built, better sound insulation, tighter. My C5 rattled and squeaked. I was always chasing down the cause of the noise. The only thing in the C6 that makes noise is the plexiglass roof. It pops. Other than that this car is a quiet as a Lexus except for my awesome Flow Master cat backs.

Have only seen pictures of the C7. The butt looks big with blind spots. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see it in person.

I agree, although I do have a wider butt than y'all (so does my car... )
If they would change the C7 rear end I'd be first in line. Now I have to wait until I see it in person.

I walked outside my building now to grab lunch and I saw a Black new Camaro from the rear and thought it was the new C7 for a sec. The C7's rear is a mess. Very dissapointing.

The whole exterior of the car is a mess...imho. Where they got the roof line from over the window is beyond me. Anyway,don't want to turn this into a C7 bash...let's just say I'll be driving c6's until c8's come along... ..if I'm still alive 100 years from now.

Have no fear the C7s will catch on. I didn't like the C6s at first. Looked like something bit its butt off. Now I drive one and love it. Its an acquired taste. When you see one next to you on the street or in the next lane it will grow on you. I'm just concerned about blind spots with that little window. From C4-C6 there has always been a wrap around window. But C3s didn't have a wrap around window. Some C3s had indented windows.
When we see the C7 in different colors and trims on the street it will look good.

I'd have to agree... I do love the front end, but equally as much as I love the c6 front end.

I was hoping to like the C7 better in person, but it still disappointed me... looks like a sad puppy.

I love the looks of the "base" C6 too. The wide bodies are awesome too.

If the GS's didn't eat tires so quick I might consider one. I hate the thought of spending $1500 on tires every couple of years

The one aspect that REALLY improved is the interior - pretty clean looking imho
