Just traded
Traded my beautiful and perfect C5 for a C7 Torch red/black coupe 3LT. Great car but so much electronics.

TOO much, imho. I'd have liked a simpler model yet... a 0LT perhaps. 
Btw, I kept my C5, too. ENJOY!

need pictures, but red black is sublime! rest easy on the electrics, they are mostly benign. This newest version just announced is purported to be the GM equivalent of Microsoft Windows ME.

Welcome to the C7 world. Prepare to be told the sky is falling by C8 flat-earthers.

Outstanding choice....don't worry about the electronics. You'll learn them in time and you'll then wonder why you thought it was so overwhelming.

Congrats on getting a C7. Made the switch myself last November and do not regret it one bit. Yes, the electronics/menus can be a bit confusing, but read the manual, experiment a bit and you'll get the hang of it.

Congrats on the new C7! On 6/1 I traded my C6 coupe for a 2017 GS convertible. At first I was a little overwhelmed with the technology. Has been a steep learning curve. Be sure to read the owners manual. Google can also be your friend There are a lot of videos and discussions that are very helpful. Enjoy your new car! The C7 is a lot of fun!

Congrats, welcome to C7. I too came from C5, skipped C6 and went to C7. You will absolutely love the traction control in the C7 vs the C5. Huge improvement. That alone will bring a smile to your face and then you won't care about the infotainment stuff.
