Agreed. GM hit a home run with the C7 IMO.

No! What happened to the cruiser?

Edit: I just searched and found your thread explaining the accident. Any pics of the damage? Glad you're OK even though the cruiser took a punch.

Nice.

I too will own a C7 eventually, but it will likely be 4 or 5 more years.

Congrats on your purchase. They are awesome cars. However, that car that Mr. Bill posted, I'd have to lower about four inches!

Funny that I should see this thread today. I left the office to run home and grab a package that needed to be mailed out (black out lens to evillsx in Georgia) and as I'm travelling N to the house what do I see??? A whole transport load of new C7s, about 8-10 of them, on the way to the dealer. There is a dealer about 2 mi from my house, so I think I know where they were headed.

I FINALLY got to sit in one. It had the sport seats in it and wow are they nice. Still way to rich for my blood, but I will own one eventually.

See you guys, always great fun!!!
I for one like the c6 and will in a year or two be looking
for a 2010 to 2012 low mileage to replace my 03 coupe.
It has only 28000 miles but getting concerned about the lack of parts
