Default New to me Grand Sport
When my 2010 base hit 80 miles I decided I wanted a lower mileage car, and to upgrade to a C7. Went to Buyavette here in Atlanta and test drove a bunch; came home today with a 2012 blade silver Grand Sport, 34k miles. Guess I'm hooked on C6's.

Nothing wrong with staying with a C6 over the C7. Enjoy!

Congrats.
Love the contrasting Black Headlights, roof and CF Splitter with the Blade Silver and Chrome GS wheels.
Very Nice.

Great choice! The GS really is the best all arounder for the buck.
If you like to drive hard, you will be extremely happy with your choice.

well done and enjoy!
