I've seen a lot of photos of the C7 with C5s, C6s, etc., however I've never seen one like this that makes the C5 look soooo much better than the C7. The C7 looks like an SUV next to the sleek C5.

I know it's faster, more refined, more options, etc., but man, the C5 is so much better looking IMO.

BTW OP - Good luck with the new C7 and carry on the Corvette tradition.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In white in particular, I think the C7 is better looking. In other colors, the C5 holds its own.

as much as I love my C5 Z06 if given the chance to own a brand new C7 or my C5 which is soon to be SC! I would take my C5Z, the C7 is one amazing car and light years above the C5 in the tech area, which scares me a lil

Congrats.

While I love my C5, it looks dated next to the C7. The C7 is a marvel in technology and performance for an OE vehicle. I will own a C7Z eventually, it will just be a few more years out.
