I'm on a list to order a C7.

But I drove to work today behind a black C6 and couldn't stop thinking what a beauty it was & how I would be perfectly happy to be driving that one.

If I'm not satisfied with the C7 price, I'll be getting a C6 with no regrets.

Play it smart and stick with the C6 until the C7 matures a bit and gets bugs worked out.

I have a '12 also, and I really like the new C7 and intend on getting one someday. However, I will wait for at least 2 years before I will go for one. I'll need to pay down more on mine and hopefully better deals will be available by then on the C7.

I have a base 2012 C6. I plan to log miles sit back and read all the first year issues the C7 has, wait for the fixes and then snap one up for a 10k under msrp discount in a coupe years.

Steal your own car. Take the insurance money and get into a C7. Now you have them both. Just never drive the C6 again.

Wait a few years until they get the bugs out (and have a Z06 and maybe a ZR1 edition available). Until then, enjoy the beauty you got unless your wallet goes through dollars faster than the car goes through tires.

I also agree keep the C6 for a few more years. Maybe most C6 owners should keep them for a few more years, or even buy my C6 so I can get the C7 as soon as they come out.

Thanks to all who posted. I am really connected to my C6, so I guess I can push my C7 desires to the back burner for awhile longer...

The C6 is STILL a beauty. Everytime I see one coming at me from the opposite direction, my first thought is "what a beautiful car".

Of course, my immediate second thought is, "oh, wait, I'm driving one of those too"..
