Is it a Lotus?

As I have owned many C6s over the years, I was looking forward to seeing my 1st C7 in person up close. Yesterday went to wade chevy in St. George Ut. and viewed a torch red Z51 on display before the owner picked it up. Won't work for me regardless of the technology!
Looks smaller and resembles a Lotus! Back to a Grand Sport Conv.
with aftermarket wheels! I now, " what are you thinking"!

Ok. There's nothing wrong with preferring a C6 GS convertible. Enjoy.

I've always taken the tact that what a car looks like on the outside, while is of some importance to me, is more important to those not sitting in it.

I was never a fan of the C6 body style but it grew on me. Then again, everyone else seemed to love the look so...well there you go...

What I care more about is how feels to drive and how I relate to the interior.

Out of curiosity, how many? And why many as opposed to several or a couple?

Looks like a lotus... ok. Like an esprit or ao exige... cause I see neither.

And it's slightly lower, longer, and wider then a base c6. In between coupe and widebody width.
