Default I think this looks pretty good in my driveway

I still have my C6, but this is very tempting.

Stop tempting me, Allen! That looks great. How's it feel on the inside?

That does look good.

Now show us your C6 and the pile of cash next to it that it would take to do the deal.

When I did it, my C6 and the cash looked better.

Bill, it is "marginally" tighter seat width wise, but still very comfortable. I spent 4 hours non-stop in it today and the only disappointment was when I arrived at my destination and had to get out. What an amazing car. It wouldn't take much to push me over the edge.

Now, do I want to retire, or .....

"...to retire or...." Work a little longer and pay off a new car---that's what you're thinking. I can hear the gears working----every pun intended! Yeah, it is tempting. I need to go for a ride in one, drive one. Maybe I'd better not....

I'm going through EXACTLY the same thought process, Allen. Tell you what, if you do it, I'll do it!

BTW, you're '05 still looks like a million bucks.

I like the C7, but I think the C6 is the end of the road for me. I am going to enjoy this thing till it dies or I do

She looks great, but I gotta tell you, there's something about the curvy butt of a C6 that makes me drool every time.

With the C7's I get into a self-argument; half of me thinks it's hot, the other half thinks it's inelegant- like they lost something when they designed it.

Ya all are nutz!!

Those C6 cars you guys own are way sexier than that C7 car,...maybe in a few years,...when they get rid of the Camaro rear...

Stop it please!!!!

I am using every ounce of self control to stay away from the C7. Then you go and post my favorite color C7 in the C6 general section.

Gotta love the AW C7. Be sweet to have both!

Still can't get used to the Fugly rear end. Your C6 looks 100% better -- even if its an amazing driver, its hard to get past that.

Wow, that sums up exactly how I feel! In fact , to me, I like many things about the C7 but the entire rear is still an absolute train wreck.

And I don't want to buy one hoping the design will grow on me . . . I've done that once or twice before and always regretted it.
