Wow, the pics of the Black Rose look awesome. Can't wait to see it in person. The Sterling Blue looks much better than I originally thought from the initial pics people were passing around.

The black rose looks pretty good. To me the jury is still out on the blue interior. Maybe looks better in person.

Finally some good pics of the Black Rose paint.

I'd like to see it next to a long beach red.

I'd like to see a Sterling Blue next to Blade silver. To me the Sterling blue is so close to silver, I don't really see the point of offering both. Opinion of course.

They should off a blue like this with the tension blue interior.

I think making up your mind is overrated

I like change and new options and the chance to see the world in different shades of gray...

I am just now getting my first look at the new colors. Here are my thoughts:

The new gray is beautiful. As others have said, it's very dark but with lots of metallic flakes. Seriously nice. The Sterling blue is really just silver. With a tinge of blue; very misleading name. The Black Rose is actually much better than I would have thought based on the pictures. Also very dark but in the sunlight it sparkles. It's still not quite the color for me but I can totally see how others would choose it.

One interesting note: some of the stickers on the windshield of errors. At least one of the Grant sports says it has comp seats but really just has the GT seats. That same one has microfiber suede inserts on the seats but not a suede steering wheel. Interesting.

Honestly the only one I think that looks good is the admiral blue. Not loving any of the other color combos. Watkins gray isn't bad, but I prefer bright colors for sports cars. I hate the blue stinger and vents on the Artic white, really think the color looks out of place.

I agree-just too many add-ons that detract from the original tasteful design cues. I prefer more subtle mods.

They gray doesn't look as bland as I thought it would. The interior is too busy.

Check the GS sticky for some photos I uploaded of a red GS with base ground effects, and also a separate GS with the red shift paddles.

Anybody zoom in on the seats in the 2017 GS Watkins Glen Grey. Look at the last photo of the seats. The stitching looks like crap. Mine are 100% better than these. You would think they would have pick out some seats that look much better for the BASH. If it was mine, a trip to the dealer would be in order.

I have to say the purple and light blue look pretty good.
