Vert
No bashing intended but I have personally owned only coupes for over 30 years. The only vert I ever owned was my very first car, 1967 MGB. That being said, this car is beautiful.

Great comparison (thanks) which illustrates 3 things:
- To me, the Jag actually looks a bit "bulbous" from the side -- I think the C7's side detailing adds a lot of character and looks much better.
- While I have been sounding like a broken record calling for body-color painted A-pillars on the Coupe, this comparison convinces me the black windshield trim looks much better on the Vert -- another plus for the C7
- The Vette's rear quarter, which is bulky, chopped-off, and very much race-car inspired, is not as attractive as the Jag's. But, it has integrity.

C7 convertible wins on:
- price
- performance
-reliability/service/repair costs
- front and side styling
Jag F type wins on:
- rear 3/4 and rear styling
I'd say the C7 is a clear cut winner over the F type!

I wasn't trying to explain anything, just happened to notice the difference and thought I'd put it out there.
