I like the C7. And C7 threads belong in the C7 section.

I think the OP's avatar name should be changed from seymore38 to annoymore38.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's probably not a good idea to walk into a room full of wine lovers and tell them that wine sucks and coke is a better drink.

Not the best way to make friends.

I think it's just sour grapes.

For those of us who may have forgotten this story from our childhood...

"The Fox and the Grapes" is one of the traditional Aesop's fables and can be held to illustrate the concept of cognitive dissonance. In this view, the premise of the fox that covets inaccessible grapes is taken to stand for a person who attempts to hold incompatible ideas simultaneously. In that case, the disdain the fox expresses for the grapes at the conclusion to the fable serves at least to diminish the dissonance even if the behaviour in fact remains irrational.[1] (stolen from wikipedia)

Wasn’t really excited with it when I saw the first pictures. The more I see of the car in the excellent photos owner’s post here and the few I’ve seen at dealer’s the more I like the car and the real thing definitely beats the pictures! I think GM stylists did an excellent job. Don

Maybe it's just me. But, I think the vert looks better without the rear spoiler.

To be fair, I don't think the OP started this thread in the C7 section. He started it in the C6 section, where he figured he'd be in good company, and it unfortunately got moved here.

Looks are only part of the story, the C7 is 10 years ahead of the C6 in technology. The C6 was conceived in 2003.
