Default C6 vs. C7 GS - PICS

Said goodbye today to my 2007 Silver Coupe after 10 great years. Before I let her go, I took a few pics of her with her replacement...a 2017 Sterling Blue Metallic Grand Sport.

Congratulations on the upgrade, as much as I liked my 2008 C6 compared to the C7 the C6 looks dated.

The Sterling Blue with the standard cup wheels on the new GS looks great!

Great pix and thanks for sharing. Strangely, I find myself drawn to the C6 GS as one beautiful car, (even when compared to the C7). In a nice blue of course.
