Money aside, I am still having trouble warming up to the look of the C7. Honestly, I am trying . . . I am looking at photos all the time on the C7 forum. I have seen some color combinations that I think look ok but some I think look just horrible.
Today I saw some photos with stripes . . . they look much better. I'm gonna keep an eye on those.
I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I realize thousands of people think the C7 looks incredible, I know its a great Corvette, I am not trying to offend any C7 owners, and I admit this is my opinion only . . . but I can't even find a C7 I would like to own yet, so I'll be keeping the C6 for a while.

The worst part is I think we all wanted the C7 to be awesome. Those of us who have reservations are now perceived as jealous haters, sad that our C6's are obsolete, when the truth is the opposite; we are disappointed that the C7 isn't awesomer (I know that isn't a word, but by the illiterate standards on CF, that was a Shakespearean sonnet.
) I was really excited about the big reveal.If only the GM PTB's had thought "Ferrari" instead of "Hyundai" on the taillights.

The C7 
does nothing for me.
Chevrolet did an Outstanding job with the 6th generation, the BEST EVER.
I really enjoy my Coupe, gives me Everything i want.

While I agree with a lot of the above, this is why I want to avoid these threads. Why offend the C7 owners that will keep the Corvette line alive? Hopefully, the widebody will come out in a year or two with 700+ HP and a 6-minute ring, and stomp any production car under $1M, and hopefully every C6 owner will be proud of that.

But as this point I am still beyond happy I got one of the last C6 GS's

The look has grown on me since the shock of the rear end upon release.
Without exception, every review I have read talks about how much better the car drives and handles. I love my GS but they are plenty of areas that needed to be improved and GM seems to have addressed every one I can think of.
In 2 years or so when the kinks have been worked out, I'm for a C7.

There is a new set of so called kinks every year. So in 2 years you will have the latest set of kinks.

No C-7 for me at least for the next two years because of the impending Z-06 and first year bugs. I may keep the C-6 and pick up a C-2 big block convertible instead of the C-7.

I was going to get a 2015 vert next summer now I'm on the fence. Seems to be a lot of issues and defects going on in the C7 section that has me somewhat scared off now. I will see what kind of deal I can muster up in 2015 if it's not great I will keep the 2013 a few more years. I don't want to get stuck with a lemon and won't pay MSRP for the privilege.
