I'm 65 part of the white hair generation and it was becoming a pain to remove the roof and put it back on. I'll spend my "golden" years with the convertible. I still the lines of the coupe are better looking......
Just love this 2016 !!!!!!

Good question. When I purchased my 2014 coupe, I'd gone to the dealership with every intention of buying a convertible. The C6 I traded for the C7 coupe was a convertible. When I got to MacMulkins in June of 2014, the coupe that you see in my avatar was on the showroom floor. Fell in love with it and bought it.

But do love the automatic roof and it sure beats putting the top on and off !!!

Beautiful car. Of course, we are partial to the interior color as we have it as well.
Also, a beautiful setting. Enjoy. Maybe we'll see you on the road on our next road trip east.

Your reasoning is the exact same as mine....picked up my 16 Z51 LT3 vert about 6 weeks ago.......I also feel that the lines on the coupe are so much better but when the top is down on mine it looks freaking awesome...when the top is up the coupe looks much better........The biggest negative I have found with the vert is absolutely no room for luggage at all!!!! I told my wife that she has to pack just like we were going on a trip on the Harley...about the same storage space!!! LOL !!

Congrats and enjoy your beautiful convertible! 
From Fall '89 to Fall '94 my family lived in Potsdam while I did my PhD at Clarkson. We used to drive to Plattsburgh or Burlington, VT a few times a year and always enjoyed driving through Dannemora and the beautiful "North Country." Those prison walls are very impressive!

I did the same thing last Monday I traded my 2015 coupe in on a 2016 Admiral Blue/Red interior convertible. I had a C6 convertible and missed the top down driving.
