Sure......history says it will anyway. Lots of improvements on the C7, depending on point of view of course.

Cars depreciate over time no matter what. Absolutely, the value of the C6 will drop a bit as the C7 hits the streets. Every new generation of every car has affected the values of the predecessor! No jury needed to see that.

Doubtful if it will be any more than the normal depreciation from one year to the next.
