There is no Orange exterior color. That is Red and the white balance of the camera is probably off.

Cool, it would have been awesome if we could have seen more footage of the talk with the testers in the parking lot. Also very interesting that they have an orange car, since that was not one of the colors released for the 2014 model year. Wonder if they will add it?

They look good...but no one should ever be that excited to see some corvettes.

Who is doing that Dio cover though? That was the best part of the video.

I love the new rear end w/ the tail lights, but has anyone noticed them FLICKERING ON AND OFF?

WATCH THE TAIL LIGHTS...and they will do it continually throughout the vid...

WATCH AROUND :28 sec... and they will do it continually.

They are not actually flickering, it has to do with the camera not keeping up with the pulses of the LED's or something like that. In laymans terms, it is an optical illusion.

discussed to death already. it is the "refresh" of the LEDs not syncing up with the frame rate of the video. you can not see it in person. numerous other cars including Ferraris all do this on camera.

But wouldn't they BOTH flicker, as opposed to one on the right, then the left, etc?

I'll trust you guys on this. And I'm glad, I want this car to SOAR!!!

It's just that the refresh rate of the LEDs is out of synch with the shutter speed of the video camera. That's all it is. You'd never see it with the naked eye.
