I throw up a little bit in my mouth every time I see a C6, regardless of trim. But of course I don’t go on the C6 forum with my opinion like you’ve done here. It looks like you didn’t learn those kindergarten life lessons

You are my new hero. In a world where no gives a **** about manual trans anymore (or displacement), it's refreshing to see another person who ins't riding the tip of DCT or "eco-boost" motors

LOL

I haven't visited the C6 section since i sold my piece 3 years ago. Well except when i was trying to sell my C7Z wheels, hoping some C6 owner wanted to be a poser and get C7Z wheels for their C6.

But hey i love the C8, even though we don't know anything about it yet, but i don't go in that section. At least not yet

When i have one, then i go there. Makes sense that way no? lol

Opinions were solicited and I opined mine. It's honestly the 1st time I have been on the C7 part of the forum. Don't really know why I dropped in, other than idle curiosity.

I didn't insult the C7 as I indicated it is by all accounts a better car than the C6. I will never own one, simply because I never warmed up to the styling and the tighter cockpit. Those who like it can own one; it is a generation I will skip. I honestly am perfectly satisfied with my Centennial GS vert and really don't anticipate getting rid of it for the forseeable future.

There sure seem to be a lot of overly sensitive people in this thread!

I obviously misinterpreted you’re “bottom of the heap” comment.,.it’s all good, this is what CF is now.

Nope, I certainly included myself in the stink part of the statement.

Just my opinion of where the 3 models would land. Your opinion is obviously different than mine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Or are we just gonna keep reaching for reassurance until July 18 comes? Lol
Lol, if I like it I will just buy it and keep my Carbon 65. Not going to buy it if it is as ugly as that rendering though. Not sure what you mean by reassurance.

Original OP is just a troll. I like seeing all the pics of the C7's and C6's though!

Remember?? I still drive my '96, '03 and '19. Not so much a memory as another addition with the C8 for more to be driven and used as intended.
