The latest mustang will be my next car. C7 Corvette prices jumped about 15k from my 09 c6 z51 lt3. I could easily afford a c7 but it's just more than I'd want to spend.

I wanted to buy an exotic, but I don't think I would sell this car, it's just one of those vehicles that you keep around because it's cheap enough there's no point in selling it. It would make a great first car for my daughter in 13 years perhaps. I wanted an exotic, but I also wanted houses in multiple states and to retire early.
The exotic can wait perhaps indefinitely because no single car brings me any more satisfaction than the C6 does. The idea of owning an exotic is always there but I'm not going to use any of the cars to their full potential so buying one for me might be pointless.

That's a tough one! For me either a Pontiac Solstice Coupe (hopefully do an LS conversion) or a 2013 C6 GS in a different color than my current 'vette.
(Really like my current 'vette, don't want to sell it.)

I would consider selling my Vette, and would love another convertible sports car like my old BMW M Roadster. But now that I am retired, the choices of roadsters with the capacity to carry my golf clubs seem few and far between. I play golf every day so I must have a car that will carry my clubs. I really like the latest Z4 BMW, but the trunk looks too small. Same with the new Miata, beautiful car but small trunk. Jags, big Mercedes Roadsters and possibly a 911 might work but they are very expensive and maintenance costs are a bit much. That leaves a C7, but the convertible does not have much space for clubs like the coupe. So the coupe is not a bad choice, but no wind in where the hair used to be!

That's the first thing my buddy said when he looked at my car.
Definitely one area Japanese designers don't seem to understand the American market.
