Default Said goodbye to the C6 and hello to the c7
Father's Day this year was a good one. I decided to part ways with my mint C6 and jump into a '19 GS. I couldn't be happier with this.

Congrats on your GS - stunning car. Once you have it for a while, how about posting a comparision of the C6 to the C7 - I always enjoy reading what member's think of one generation to the next.

Thanks everyone! I will say a few things about the change froma C6 to a C7 GS. The GS has a firmer ride, much tighter and more responsive steering, a ton of gadgets for your driving needs, amazing brakes (even without carbon rotors). I had the M2W switch on the C6 so I got used to the nice exhaust sound but the C7 is very quiet so I immediately pulled the fuse to the exhaust valves and now it sounds better. The seats also hug you more compared to the C6. The C7 is much more refined while the C6 was a bit more on the raw side. I enjoyed the C6 a lot but the C7 GS is on a whole new level in terms of driver satisfaction. That's my quick first impression. More to come next weekend!

I saw the price drop on this GS and was going to call on it, but I decided to hold off for a while. Looks like a beauty, enjoy!

Congrats and welcome to 7. Big Big difference between the 6 and 7. I know, I made the switch just a month ago and love the 7. Good luck with yours.
