First had to get beyond the color red. Next can't argue with the interiors. C-7 C!-6 Cl-5. Both in comfort, appearance and conveniences.
Exterior C-5 C-6 C-7
My overall preference - Still the C-5. "That's my story and I'm sticking with it".

That's how the seven should have come from the factory.

That's f@cking hot right there, it's even my color. A silver C7Z targa with round tail lights is about as perfect a car for me as any company could build (within my means).

i like em all! it's nice to see them side by side like that, it goes to show how the C5 hold's it own in the looks dept.! i own one, i love it! but having said that, if money was no object, i would add a C7Z06 vert to my stable! (i'd be keeping my C5) either torch red or shark grey. thanks for the cool pics OP

I love 'em all, but that's god awful!! The rear end and round lights TOTALLY destroys the amazing lines on the car. GM got it right.

Just as I chose the white C5 over the white C7, I'm gonna choose the red C5 over the red C6 AND C7.

Wow....the C5 is the BEST looking car out of the 3. The lines are just so perfect. If it was a red z06/FRC in that pic, it would absolutely blow the other 2 away.


The C7 is growing on me as well, and I have stopped shopping for a c6 altogether to pick up a C5 Z06 instead. Those cars are pure sex on wheels in person.


The C6 looks like the child of a drunken hookup between the C5 and C4. Seriously. Look at the lines on both the cars and you will see the C6. No thanks.

Someday, a c7 will be in my garage next to my C5Z

I'll argue the interior to the extent that the Toyota Concept Car FT1 has it all over C7 on the drivers side. Looks like a fighter jet cockpit which unfortunately belongs to Toyota, not Corvette. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=3518043


For those that are 'stuck in the round'...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=3511569

btw: that C5 rear does look good doesn't it?
