That C7 does look good, but then again, so does your C5.

I to would love to have a C7 in my garage. Just can't justify the $50k+ to trade in my paid for '04.

Good looking color scheme on the C7. Black is my favorite color on those, but that gorgeous black looks better on my C5 vert!

I'm really sorry, some C7 color combos just don't do it for me. Black, orange, nay.

Well... As usual the picture doesn't do it justice. The orange was very rich in person and it was metal flake. Mine would be Laguna Blue anyway...

I personally like the black and orange. Looks awesome in my book. I would even keep the black wheels and I'm not a fan of those.

I just can't get over how dated a C5 looks sitting next to a C7.
