Taller people beware...I'm 6'2" and fit great in the C6 but the C7 feels a little tight. If I were a little taller I think i'd have to get something else.

No disrespect Rick, but I think tall people would appreciate some non-joking photos. Ha ha, his head is sticking out... now here's the real photos. Might be nice.

WOW...Rick was trying to put a little humor on this forum where it has become nothing but a place to attack each other any more. So SAD. Hey Rick, keep placing some humor out here. W all need it.

Rick, that's why I posted my comment. I scrolled to the bottom and there are no photos of the guy sitting normally in the car. Maybe you forgot to post them.

Well I guess since you already have your C7 you are not anxious about whether or not you will fit. Maybe try understanding how needling people who are anxious about ordering a car without knowing if they will fit is not "fun" or "humorous".

TPW of 10/14, with estimated delivery of 10/31 - 11/7. I'm guessing from my VIN (3965) it will be produced on Monday or Tuesday.

Man, I would have a tough time not coming back from vacation early. I guess it depends on where vacation is! In any case, you'll have a great coming-home present waiting. Enjoy it!

I'm 6' 5" and I fit just fine. Plenty of head room and leg room with the seat all the way back. Move the steering wheel back also and it feels just right. It is much better than the C6 cabin.
