GF always wants windows up when driving, I agree with you guys though, it looks weird and I like the wind/airflow so windows down for me.

When I saw the windows up, my first thought was, "Is there a girl in the car?"

Certainly, whenever I want to talk to my passenger or listen to music. Still get all the great convertible benefits. I could care less what folks think it looks like.

Lol windows up because our scalps begin to smell like we spent the day in the jungle when exposed to the wind like that.

The heck with the windows, what about handling and performance comparisons between the C6 & the C7? Those narrow tires causing any cornering concerns?

Dude had a winter cap on as well. Although it was a sunny day, the weather is turning a bit chilly here in Michigan. And since this was part of manufacturer testing (there was a blue coupe with it as well), I am willing to bet the guy is putting a lot of miles on it in one sitting, and comfort was probably high on his list.
For any of you with verts on order...damn do they look good with the top down!
