Opinions needed on interior color with Jetstream Blue
First, let me say this.... I bought my 2004 because I couldn't get used to the look of the C6. Seeing pictures of the Jetstream blue caused me to reconsider. I drove a C6 for the first time yesterday and I could not wipe the smile off of my face for about 2 hours. I can not believe the responsiveness of a base automatic 2008 over my 2004 Z51 automatic. I have never been happy with the shifting of mine and Chevy has certainly nailed it for 2008.
I am going to order a Jetstream Blue 3LT convertible, probably with the black roof. I like the look of the 3LT two-tone interior, but I have not been able to see the titanium/ebony in person. One local dealer has a pre-sold Jetstream Blue with the cashmere/ebony and my wife really likes the combination.
In all my years of car buying, I have never seen a "tan" interior offered with a blue car until now. I would appreciate any thoughts on this from a potential resale perspective.

I think the only interior color that looks good with JSB is black. Although, black interior in a Vert can be something you'll regret. I've seen titanium in JSB and didn't like it. Although I have it in my LMB I don't think cashmere is a good mix for JSB. I'm surprised they even offer it.
While blue is my favorite color, I'm not a JSB fan so I might not be the best judge. If I were getting an 08 I'd take a good hard look at CRM, even though I'm not really drawn to red cars I did like that color.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have an 07 AO with cashmere interior. I never thought I'd like a tan interior until I saw an AO with one. I love it and I think it would look great with JSB. It just seems sportier than black. I have had numerous cars with black, silver, or grey interiors and the lighter interior just makes me smile a little more.

I have a JSB vert/black top with 2 tone black titianium and let me tell you that everyone who sees the car simply says "wow". I had a PR/cashmere coupe before and the reaction to this car is easily 10X more than what I ever got with that one. Unbelievable.....I mean kids waving to me off of schoolbuses with the crowding to one side causing the bus to lilt, my friends wives elbowing their husbands asking them if they want to sell the Porsche....you name it.

If I were ordering JSB I would get either Linen or Titanium....

I agree, I think this combo looks awesome on just about any of the color choices! Even just the straight titanium interior looks nice too (and anything other than straight ebony is going to be two tone anyhow, the only difference in the "two tone package" is that the seats themselves are two tone.)

I realize color is subjective but several of you said the ebony/titanium was your choice, however you need to see it if you haven't. That is exactly the color combo I was looking at but backed away after seeing it. The titanium is too light and doesn't go well with the blue. I also agree that all black wouldn't be "cool" both figuratively and literally in the vert. I would go with the ebony/cashmere. I have seen that and it looks really good in the JSB.

I was die hard set on a silver with two tone interior but now that I have seen the new blue, I can't shake it from my mind. I am looking at the two tone black/titanium with black top. I was a huge fan of Electric blue but hated the LMB (too dark and not enough metallic). I can't wait to place my order. The wife is 100% onboard with it now. Good luck with your decision. My toughest decision is deciding if $5000 is worth the HUD. I don't care about retractable roof, i'd rather have seat coolers than heaters, and I am the only one that drives the car so who needs a two person memory. HUD is a biggie and fear I will regret not getting it later.

I'm on my way back from my R8C delivery of my JSB Coupe. Guess what; I ordered the titanium/ebony two tone interior....but my dealer did NOT!!!! So I ended up with just titanium Well, the titanium seats look....ok, but I saw one on the line that was my JSB color with the two tone titanium/ebony I had ordered and it was STUNNING. My dealer (name withheld until resolution) promises he will "make it right no matter what it takes...even if ordering me another car."
My point is that I've seen both the gray and the gray two tone in a JSB and while the gray looks ok, the two tone w/black is unbeatable IMHO.

I had a similar decision between Cashmere and Titanium. Cashmere interior has cashmere foot well where as Titanium has a black foot well.
Since mine will be driven quite a lot it was enough to keep me from choosing Cashmere since I know it would be a lot of work to keep the foot well looking clean.
