Absolutely love the color combo. Very rich looking and finished.

But as was voiced earlier, not for everyone. Thankfully we have choices.

I think he was pointing out the huge dimple in the leather and not the white behind the seat.

Shark gray with red interior is the way to go.

Sorry, IMO TSG is too plain a color for a Stingray. It would need something for contrast - red interior for example or maybe red calipers.

In ten years it will be advertised as a "rare" brown interior...... and for good reason.....

no one will buy that ugly crap..........

Funny how everyone has different tastes. I love it and would buy that color in a heartbeat.

I'm a bit surprised to read all of the negative reactions. I think it's a very classy combo. While not everyone's taste, it's certainly not ugly.

Looks great on the silver/shark, not sure about the one I saw with it in yellow.

I just got a 2014 Cherokee with brown interior. Its nice to have choices. Black does get boring.

If you liked the old timer green and your at least 74 years old.
You might like it! Plus it does have brown in it and CGM was much better! Honest review!

Your opinion is much like your rectum, everyone knows you have one, no one wants it shoved in their face.

Had nothing but compliments on our NRB/Brownstone convertible.

It makes Pewter look good both are on the not for me list!

The mismatch on the rear bumper cover is two different shades!

Silver it is! If I follow through on a New ZO6. On the fence!

Looks good with the red....

The purpose of this post was to offer a choice many had not considered...

My first choices with Shark would be

1) Kalahari
2) Brownstone
3) Black
4) Red

and the purpose of this post is more effective than many want to say....just a couple hours on the forum and over 900 views.....as it is the first I have seen talking about his combo.

Thank-you everyone for the feedback

I feel better now, I missed your demographic... like LRG but I'm only 73.
But I don't like SG simply because it will be almost invisible in low light or foggy conditions. It even tries to disappear in bright sun. Almost the same color as the road in those first pics.
