Default PICTURES - Supersonic Blue vs Jetstream Blue!

It's that time of the year again, time to see the new colors and compare them to the old.

Here's the new, 2011 Supersonic Blue next to the 2010 Jetstream Blue. It's really not much of a comparison since they are two completely different blues, which is why GM probably have them both still available.

Today is a really cloudy day so its hard to make a good comparison but here's what I've got. I'll take more once the sun comes back out!

[EDIT] Post 31 on Page 2 has more pictures taken in better light!

















Let me know what you think!

Dave

I think that a lot of people who like Cyber Gray will also like Supersonic Blue.
The people who like bright colors will like Jetstream Blue much better.
Can you guess which one I prefer?

Both are not attractive , but I'm partial to LeMans Blue. The new blue looks like a cyber gray vette, and a JSB vette got together and had a baby. And the JSB is totally the girl car!

I like the new Supersonic Blue a lot and was never a fan of JSB. The new one is tastefully understated but need to see it in person. I've seen the JSB in person and just not feeling that color....

On the other it really doesn't matter what I like because if steamships were selling for a dime a dozen I couldn't afford to rent a canoe...

Like them both but it is JSB hands down. However, both are WAY better than LBM.

I'm thinking the same thing. When you get up close and personal with the SSB you can yell its a good color even on a cloudy day. I can't wait till the sun pops out so I can get some better shots of it.

Cool!! - I like them both. Although I still think Nasau Blue is my favorite.

It's almost like the difference between by Infiniti and BMW, which is why I just couldn't go with a blue C6, so I picked black

I ordered a few with two-tone gray (like this one) and some with straight black. Seeing it in person now I think the straight black may be the way to go but I'll have to wait till I get one.

Thanks for the pics, Dave. I prefer the Jetstream Blue to the Supersonic Blue, but I have a slight preference for the LeMans Blue over the Jetstream Blue.

Eh, whatever you call it I still don't like it. That is what is fun about colors. So subjective.
