I did a build my own C7 on the Chevy web yesterday. Gorgeous white vert with silver stipes then this morning I got in mine and said "screw the C7".

If it isn't broke, I haven't fixed it yet....

I would love to have a new C7, I need more garage space 7 in the garage is too manny maybee I should sell my old Z-28 nawww
Spent some time the other day at the auto show and looked at a C7 convertible. There were a couple of nice things on the C7 I'd love to have on my C4: the waterfall convertible top panel between the front seats, the dedicated space for the soft top along with the trunk lid.
IMO those would be really sweet to add to a C4 but I have a hard time thinking about spending more than my first house (by a factor of 3+) for a car.
I was thinking about going to a C5, but after driving my co-workers 2001, I'll stick with my '84.....the C5's don't have that excitement for me that the C4's and earlier have.....
Remember, there's no place like ~ ;)
The C7 is gorgeous, imo. I sat in a few at the dealership, just because. I certainly can't spend that kind of money on a car. Fortunately, I'm happy with the fun the C4 brings me without breaking the bank. Today it was in the 80s here, clear and sunny. We did a lot of travelling about because we're car shopping right now. Enjoyed driving the 95 around while enjoying the great weather.

1985 and 1995 coupes:

I guess for most of us; the C7 is just a bit out of reach financially. I too have looked at them at shows, and truly respect the technology that has been put into the car. But for the money I would have to put out to own one; I think I would be able to find a real nice 67 that I would much rather own. Guess I am a bit old school.
One more thing on the C7 - who could work on one themselves? Without a garage with $100,000 worth of equipment, who can do anything on it other than put in some gas and turn the key?
I may not be good yet, but at least I can open the hood and do some of the work myself with the tools I have.
