I've had both and removing a targa roof is a much bigger PITA than pressing a button.

I have had a 2006 and 2008 coupe, and now a 2010 vert, IMO, there is no comparison between the coupe with an open top, and the vert topless! Plus pushing a button for the vert to open vs taking off and storing the coupe top is something that you have to experience to appreciate.
Absolutely getting a C7 vert as soon as it is available!

Close call. Can't say there's a wrong answer here.

The more I look at the coupe the more I like it... Not sure the conv looks aggressive enough.

Coupe + Automatic for me only!

I don't like the look of convertibles in general, they make the car look a lot more plain jane. A Lambo vert is one of the few who can pull it off and still look great.

I was just having a little fun Larry, sorry. Sitting at my desk on a Friday bored out of my mind and I actually laughed out loud when I posted that, thought for sure I would create a bigger stink then I did. I really like the look of this vert like most of us that posted here its awesome and I think even better then the coupe. Sorry to anyone I insulted I didn't mean it just spicing up my day a little

If the renderings/guesses are accurate, I am back in the fold for buying one. I can over look the odd look of the rear because the rest of it is stunning as a convertible.

I own a coupe and like to travel a bit on the road in it - the verts look cool to me too - I like them both. Is there storage in a vert though? Where you can put your bags and such? If so, is it a large area?

The coupe is much better looking. The convertible looks like a photoshoped C6.

That said, if I buy a coupe, I buy fixed roof coupes. I cannot stand targa tops or sunroofs on performance cars. I hope the roof on the C7 Z is not removable. Threy need to continue what they did with the C6 Z/ZR1. Fixed roof on coupes all the way.

Keep the removable roof on the base car.

I have always liked the look of a vert with a hardtop, especially the C2-C3 generations, which is partly what first drew me to the C5 Z06 - besides the awesome performance, I just like the look. So a C7 vert with an auxiliary hard top would be my preference, although the coupe is certainly growing on me every day - it's almost as if Bill Mitchell is back at GM.

There is plenty of room in the trunk plus the storage cubbies for enough luggage and misc to easily take care of the needs of a couple of people for an extended trip. Have done it many times and I like the fact that everything is hidden from view and will not become a deadly projectile in the event of an accident.

If you have a power top the top protection divider in the trunk can be folded flat to the trunk floor increasing the storage area by better than 50%.

My C6 Vert has quite the nice sized trunk, that is not visible through any back window. Plenty of room.
