Why Did GM Cut Electron Blue?
As popular as Electron Blue was I still don't understand why GM cut it. I saw my first EB Corvette the other day in full sunlight, man that thing looked sweet!

Yea...right.
I'd go with the 'hard to improve on perfection' line myself.

in the corvette line it seems that blue colors only last for a short time . LeMans blue should be gone soon if that theory holds true

Hi Shylor -
Good question - I fell in love with EB when I first saw it.....
Here's another good question - why did they drop torch red? The new reds are not to my taste - but there is a C6 in the NCM that is torch - man is it gorgeous - I'd love to see a TR Gen II Z06....
best regards -

Nassau, navy, and electron are all gone now. Just Lemans is left, but I like it best. However the other 3 were nice also.
