Of course there are relatively few C8s out there. Also, it may be that with its big area under the hatch for cargo the C7 is a better tourer.

Regarding crowding in the National Parks, here's where...

C7 in any flavor is a toy for many of us.

You can get the plain 1LT or the ZR1 and still have a fun experience.

I don't know how old you are, Ed, but at age 71 I get about one solicitation per week from a hearing aid company.

I've now also got a Challenger for similar reasons of practicality.

A 2-series BMW might work as well.

Enjoy your new car!

Google Maps.

I've not got OEM nav, and haven't gotten around to downloading Waze.

So it's mostly a lazy decision.

Nice comparison photo. From this angle the C8 looks more refined while the C7 has a brawny presence that is completely different. This helps explain why some people find C7 more attractive, I think....

Agree. The C8 is currently the Next New Thing and going for a premium, but in a few years it no longer will be that and prices will fall. We saw the same thing with C7. There's only a...

Two questions, Al.
1) So what do you think of the square C8 steering wheel?
2) How does cargo volume compare? I really like the amount of space in my C7.

Redoing the bumper covers is nothing so long as the body shop matches the color accurately. It's just cosmetics.
