One thing about the C7's being delivered now - just from reading the many threads here - it means there are going to be a lot of nice used, but well taken care of, C6's out there for folks that cannot take the financial plunge on the C7.

Well Tadge said. The c6 is obsolete. C6 prices have to be headed for the
crapper. Now you see a side by side and how plain the C6, Who would want
one if know about the C7.

Idk... it seems to me. (Just a stubborn guy) the c6 looks meaner. If that makes any sense. The picture makes the c7 look impressive. Its just it doesn't make it look too... idk. Something. Maybe the angle on the c7. But I am in love with the c7 now.

(Also I hope c6 prices have headed for the crapper..(sorry c6 owners))

I might be only one of a few, but I understand your sentiments above. In the head on side by side picture above, the C6 looks more like a dedicated track/race car while the C7 looks more like a luxury street car. Taking nothing away from the C7 here. I think this impression will change once the C7 Z is introduced. Since the C5, I have not been a big fan of the base car. However, I will say that the C7 is the best looking base vette in a long time.

I too hope that C6 prices take a nose dive. I am still waiting on C6 ZR1 prices to drop, but I am not seeing a significant change...... yet.

I am glad that they finally got rid of that huge glass window in the back. The basket type design was what stopped me from buying one all these years. The roof line to me is what makes this design so great.

I agree 100%. I like the way the sail panels blend into the quarters and the shape of the rear glass. Homerun GM!

Thank you for those beautiful pictures of your Crystal Red with the 3LT Kalahari interior.
This is the same C7 I will order except for the chrome wheels.
Enjoy it.

Thanks George,

I ordered the exact same car except for black wheels, built on Thursday, I can feel the Napa leather on my backside. The 3LT Kalahari is beautiful and I love the CRT. Opps I have stock calipers so two differences. Enjoy, congratulations, best of luck.

Thanks again for the pics
