Yes - favourite of my current cars (considering they are both SUVs, it isn't a fair game )

Yes - favourite of all of the cars I've owned BUT my E92 M3 with M-DCT was a VERY close second favourite and depending on the application might flip flop (DD vs. track) but I still think the C7 wins out overall.

Definitely my favorite car that I currently own.. My other cars include a mini cooper, very custom 68 Camaro that I rarely ever drive and my wifes BMW X3.

Definitely my favorite car that I have ever owned including two C6's one of which was an 09 Z06, several BMW's and countless other cars.

Favorite car I've ever owned, and currently own = YES
Favorite car of all time, no. I doubt I will ever be able to own my favorite car of all time so my C7 will do just perfectly.

Favorite car in the current fleet??..
That's tough as I like ALL cars for various reasons.
Currently have:
2013 VW beetle TDi convertible (with full GTi suspension) which is a ton of fun
2013 Mazda CX5 (wifes) which is the best handling CUV on the market.

I like them both a lot for their intended purposes.

I like them all!! C7 is car #66 for me...Picking my Fav is always tough as you can see....:-)

Favorite current car? Yes, although the wife's '12 Shelby GT500 SVT vert is a close second.

Favorite car of all time? No, given the long list of specialty cars/antiques/street rods I've owned. It would be very hard of me to single one car out as my favorite of all time.

No.
No.

My favorite is my '75 L82. It's occupied a prime spot in my garage for well over 20 years.

Yes - Although my Suburban is my favorite for hauling stuff.
Maybe - (my 1970 Corvette Convertable and 1969 Camaro RS/SS 396 still call to me...)

Default absolutely

Yes it is my favorite

Yes, best car I have ever owned...compared to a Roush Mustang, 98 Vette Coupe (nothing else even worth mentioning).

Just the acceleration and handling alone are better than anything I have ever owned.

Default No

My answers to your 3 part question:

1. No
2. No
3. My '08 (C6) Callaway SC580 which I drove for almost 6 glorious
trouble free years. I have seriously struggled with the workmanship and quality control issues on my C7. I am increasingly concerned as I read thru the "issues and resolutions" portion of this forum (which has already reached 84 pages). Many of these issues simply should not be occurring on a vehicle of this caliber. My decision to purchase a new model rollout the first year has not turned out not to be a good one so far, and I would strongly advise others not to make this mistake.

Yes, Yes. However my first car ranks right up there, not for it's performance. My first car was the beginning of my independence and living. My first sixteen years were pretty uneventful, that changed dramatically when I took delivery of a 1965 Corvair coupe. Though that car has met it's demise (searched the vin number, it was junked) I have a clone of it in my collection and plenty of great memories.
