Default Changed My Mind, Command Decision

After saying that I wouldn't want a C-7 for a long time I have decided that if I ever have the opportunity I would buy one but it would have to be a Grand Sport. After seeing them I really like what they bring to the table.
Of course this is after my rich "whatever" passes away cause I sure as hell cant afford one

That's the same way I felt about a C6. Held out and finally got my GS. First drove one in 2010. No regrets and couldn't be more pleased.

I might have to eat my own words as well, with the C7 GS coming out. Might just get a C6 Z06 since their prices have gone down quite a bit....time will tell.

I love the C7's from the first day. But I got such a good deal on my C^ with such low miles that I could not say "no". I love my C6 a lot and I enjoy every bit of it, but those C7 they sure look aggressive !

I'm actually beginning to get there myself. I almost bought one last month. The interior is the deal maker.

I like the looks from the moment I laid eyes on one. HOWEVER, I don't think the cabin is as comfy as the C6. I'm 6'4, 230 and the C6 seems to fit me a bit better. Plus, I won't ever utilize the HP my Z51 has already and can't see that I need more. I'm happy with my '08

Unfortunately, the GS still has the awful looking back end. Therefor, I still must veto.

Don't get me wrong, I love my C6 and it has been a great car for almost 10 years. I am 6'2" and 250, and fit well in the C6. The C7 was tighter, but I liked it.

It took a while to get over the "transformers" look for me, but I get it that Chevrolet needed to attract a younger buyer to the fold. I still am not crazy about the rear end.

Thanks Husker man, From what I've learned they are going to priced well out of my range that's for sure Don't know if I have enough years left to wait for used G S, figure that will be around 2020 so I'll be ancient, 78-79 depending, but we'll see

But as stated it will be awhile unless my ship comes in, and soon

Love the C7s. Thankfully, I like the NB just as much as the WB so I am just waiting for the right color.
