happens a lot, I had dealers call me over the past two years, after seeing a pic I posted or on my site and asked about that interior and were not sure GM even offered it....

I personally LOVE that interior and pictures NEVER did it justice!

As I said before I never liked it and apparently neither did most people or they wouldn't have dropped it.

That's a good observation. I certainly don't want you to think I am negative. I need to form my replies in a manner that is clearer.

Finally the Corvette team was not behind in times with current trends in colors (still way behind as usual in exterior colors though) and brought out an interior color that elevated the interior's ambience to something elegant and classy (not in the form of tacky chrome wheels classy) and they go and discontinue it??

it's a classy color, probably more suited for a GT than a sports car if there is such a thing.

I really liked the Brownstone, but the suede accents just make it a little too "groovy" for my tastes. Had I ordered a 3LT, I would have gotten it but without the suede.
