I've been looking at the coupe since the reveal and I admit that it looks fantastic to my eyes. The aspect I like the least is the rear of the car, but I'm sure once I see it in person, I'll probably at least be fine with it, or even possibly like it quite a bit; I'm not afraid of change, I guess.

I've also been looking at the pics of the vert, and I'm liking that look okay as well. But, the coupe has so much style with the rear windows and venting, as well as the new rear glass that the convertible seems to look more like a highly "refreshened" C-6. I know the differences are major between the two; and no, I don't think the two actually look alike.

Does anyone else who really wants a Convertible feel similarly? Do you love the coupe's unique looks so much that the convertible seems much less "special" in it's appearance? Maybe it's just my 'feeling' when I look at both? What say ye? I feel like I may have to consider a coupe purchase and get used to removing the top often.
