That color looks like it belong on a sports car rather than a Buick.

The photos don't appeal to me. I'll withhold judgment until I see it in person.

I saw one, and it didn't do anything for me.

Sweet! I wish the Z had the black headlight buckets so I could see how the one I ordered looks!

Maybe it can do this!? Sorry, but the new orange Corvette is not for me, maybe on a Charger though!

I was skeptical. I think it looks great on the vette. I saw some other pics of a GS with the gray wheels and I think it looked better than with the chrome spiders.

Saw an inferno orange Grand Sport with comp gray wheels and cyber hash marks during the factory tour. Looked really good, I think it will be a popular combo for 2011.

I'd call it TOMATO orange.

I'm looking forward to seeing the two new colors in person. It's hard to judge them from pictures.

Tomato Red Metallic. No thanks. But that is what makes color choice so cool. To each their own and I LOVE orange cars.

It's refressing to see something new... I like it, and if I was to buy a 2011 it would be one of the new colors. I'm am not one that has to be like everyone else..
What if all corvettes were black or red, wouldn't that be boring?

Reminds me of all the 'hatin' when JSB came out. I think it's a beautiful color, but not exactly my taste. Again, have to see it in person...
