Either body style is a great car - I chose the coupe because I like the lines, the storage space, and the fact that I can still take the top off and enjoy some open air driving. Best thing to do is just go and drive an example of each and see which one suits your taste.
I like the lines much better on the Coupe. The storage space is great. To me it's the best of both worlds. I think Vert's are over rated and over priced. Also whomever tells you that there is the same amount or close to the same amount of storage in a Vert and a Coupe is smoking crack

I recently went through the same thing you are going through. Let's face it, they're all great. What finally sold me on the coupe was the luggage space. I recently returned from a 2 week trip to the East Coast and carried 2 full sets of golf clubs plus 2 good size luggage bags and a small cooler. I was even able to drive with the top off and safely stored on top of the load. However, if my wife and I were not into golf, I think I would have got a vert.

Ah yes... it's been WEEKS since the vert/coupe issue has been raised. I have nothing new to add... I agree with everyone... whatever their position.
It's a clear and sunny day... I think I'll go for a drive with the top down. I hope I don't get the sudden urge to stop in to Lowes and gets some dry wall or 2x4s since they won't fit in my "tiny" trunk.

we use the vert for grocery shopping as well as trips to wherever... plenty of room and i love the looks i get when i pack many, many bags into the (way too small) trunk...

vert
well first of all hopefully your c5 isn't your only car if it is maybe you should get the coupe because of the luggage issue. If it isn't then you have to go with the vert, it's a vette who cares about luggage. It's also a 2 seater but that's not going to stop you from buying it. There is a reason why the vert cost more because it looks better. and gets alot more looks. Nothing beats cruising on a hot summer day with the top down and the breeze on your face trust me nothing beats a vert.

I love how all if not most of the Vert owners have a EGO issue and think a Vert is the ONLY way to go.
They are all Vettes people.... each has their own preference to what they like dislike...but in the end.. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER
VERT OWNERS (most of you not all) GET OVER YOURSELVES

This is a very personal decision, one that you'll be stuck with for awhile, so make it carefully. IMHO, verts can be very cool, but nothing beats a coupe for its day-to-day practicality and flexibility...
