Black is the most common I've seen here around Jax. (Of the half dozen I've seen anyway)

While I personally don't like black cars - I actually dislike non-metallic colors, I am sure it will be a popular color.

I have a black one with the Chrome wheels. It's a little harder to keep clean but what I like about the black on this car is it gives this car a lot of class to add to it's very sporty look.

With all the black vents and black around the front and rear windows this car in the lighter colors looks great but a bit too flashy or aggressive for an old exec like myself. The black looks sporty and classy at the same time. But seriously I love this car in ALL the colors!

I looked at green and bought silver. Black was possible too!
Dark rock Green fits the 75 and older crowd! Don't see the lime in it!

Yup, I saw that video too. It's great to see Arctic White doing so well in C7 sales; the car looks fantastic in it.

I believe the Lime Rock name is for the track in western CT of the same name. I believe Paul Newman spent a lot of time there. I would bet red is the most people color with the 75 and older crowd, just like it is with the 75 and younger crowd.

I fully agree!!! I'm not a white car guy....but I think the C7 looks badass in white!!! I think it is the contrast of all of the other black trim pieces. Of course I would've got it with black wheels!! Anyway, hard to beat black so that is. What I got.
