It's a flat out no brainier for the C7. I don't think it's even close. That said I am a coupe guy but I have to admit the vert in C7 is the first vert that has caught my attention at all of the last few generations. I will be waiting for a Z version so that will probably not be in a vert anyway I am sure. That one above sure is nice though.

C6 should not even be in there, between the C7 vert and the C7 coupe is a toss up

Default I'll Choose Door # 4

The 2015 supercharged, high perf. coupe (whatever GM chooses to call it).

Two things:

The C7 looks hot...

Convertible wheels look better.

That GS C6 is still a thing of beauty! I'm not sure but for the first time ever for me, I think I like the C7 Coupe better than the Convertible.

I like the coupe. I was never into verts, mostly because I don't like the way they look with the top up

All three of course. They are all nice Vettes, and I would be happy to drive any of them. But if I have to pick one, I would pick the Cyber Gray coupe.

Kind of a strange question to ask on the C7 forum. It may be just as strange on the C6 forum. I wonder what the choose would be if you put it on the C5 forum?

As for me it is a hard choose. The GS is a great car, but if what we have been told is true the C7 will be a better performing car, plus the new technology in the C7, I guess I would have to go with the C7, Now coupe or Convertible, I have always been a fan of the coupe as stated above, I don't care for the look of the roadster with the top up, but the color combination on this C7 could maybe sway me to the roadster.

Subjective, of course, but I prefer the coupe. Looks fantastic to my eyes. Looks even better with the lift-out panel removed than the convertibles.

From those choices, the blue C6 actually looks better designed. The front fender scoops on the C7 look huge and by this pic alone, the body on the c7 vert looks huge compared to the roof and the wheels look cheap. Why does the C6 have a square fuel door with round tail lights and the C7 have a round fuel door with square tail lights? (does the c7 have a c5 fuel door?) Based solely on these pics, the C6 looks a bit better, as the vomit colored roof on the c7 looks terrible! If it was between the c6 and c7 coupe, the c7 by a mile.

That is so you can change it out to one of those great looking Chrome pop open fuel filler with the fake bolts going around the edge of it.

While I love the C7, I think that C6 GS looks awesome. I'd LOVE to go out to the shop and drool over that each day......

Damn these are nice cars!!!!

FWIW...I totally agree about the round fuel door on the C7. Looks out of place....maybe they were just trying to pay homage to the C5

No doubt the C7 but which C7, I'm just not sure yet. I have to see them both in person. I've never been a big fan of the 'gills' or those wheels on the GS.

At least the wheels on the c6 are not the swept style that looks right on one side of the car, and wrong on the other......drives me crazy.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that. I'm not a fan of the C7 vert wheels either. I'd probably go with the Z51 wheels if I got a vert.
