Default After MUCH Deliberating And driving A Few C7's I Bought This

I really couldn't get by the look of the C7.
















I sold my 2012 GS Vert about a year and a half ago to buy a C7 but I couldn't pass up on This Anniversery Vert.The C6 is still the best looking car.

I enjoyed driving the manual C7 but I'm just not crazy about the looks.

I'm with you. I could have also gone C7 but I didn't wish to be driving about in a car which was copied from a mash up science fiction movie and Hot Wheels.

The C7 drove as smooth as silk But I can't get by the front end of the car.

Excellent choice. I have been looking for the right used C7 convertible for many months, and have recently concluded that for my purposes a C6 is probably just as good, for less money. To me, it looks like yours is just about as good as it gets. Enjoy it.

Much better looking car. I've really tried to like the C7 but it just isn't happening.

Look's excellent Gary. I have a friend up here who sold his 13 late last year. Exactly like that. How many miles ? Mike.

You're not alone! I never even considered a C7 when I was looking for a Vette! Nice looking car!

I can't get by any part with, for me, the rear by far the worst. It's a tortured design rampant with meaningless creases and folds.
