Not my color choice, the SSB is better. But its not as bad as I thought it would be. I think it looks decent. Reminds me of the C3 blue color.

I think GM is going through a "phase" right now when it comes to colors. I don't know if the bodes well for the C7 or not.

Could be the picture quality but the color is not doing it for me.

Thanks for posting the pics. I want to see it in direct sunlight as well.

It's not as bad as I first thought but it doesn't do much for me. Too pale looking!

But, I'm sure there will be some who will like it.

I see that color coming and going on numerous econo boxes/family sedans. Definitely not a Vette color. I predict it will be a "rare" color.

I will hold off judgement until I actually see the color in person but it seems like GM is looking to get more female buyers with that color.


**I don't like chrome wheels but that color screams for more bling. Black and grey wheels won't do it justice IMHO.

Normally I would say I need to see it in person but I wouldn't even like it then. I'm just not a fan of that color in general even on the older corvettes.

Well, I realize that they were taken on a cloudy day...and to see it in person might make it look better. Reminds me off a late fifties, early sixties color. I have to wait to see it in person. Looks too much right now like the same color you see on granny's Cruze.
