Why are you posting here if you don't plan to buy a C7 and don't have anything to contribute? Go to a forum where the topics are more in your area of interest.
C6 sales did drop in 2009, along with nearly all high-end sports car sales, which were attributed to a combination of the recession and the C6's "derivative" style of the more successful C5 model. The Bowling Green plant shut down for half of 2013 so that year's sales can be omitted from comparisons. The current C7 sales are on par with typical C5 sales, as implied. While the C7 is the "best" overall Corvette by consensus, C2, early C3 and C5 owners can legitimately argue that when it comes to style, the newest Vette is different but not necessarily better looking. Long live round tail lights and pop-up head lamps!

I'm in!
When they arrive, I will buy either the new Ford GT or the Zora. Decision will depend on which turns me on most. At my age, I'm running out of time, so "going for it" is the only option!
