Why doesnn't GM add more colors rather than replacing the existing ones ? Can't we have DSOM as well as Atomic Orange for instance ?

Thanks for the info, Rick.

The speculation C6 looks nice, for someone else, not me. To each his/her own . . . . .

Looks good to me, but I think it's time for a green and a lighter blue. I'd like to see a blue or white interior offered too.

you took those words out of my mouth. I totally agree, they should make a deep green, and a light blue, like nassua, and i would like to see a rich brown interior, not sure if anyone is familiar with this but im thinking of a brown that came on the benz's a whole back called designo brown, it was gorgeous.

There's an '06 GTO on the Pontiac lot down the street that looks like it might be Atomic Orange. It looks lighter than DSOM IMO.

Check the Pontiac color chips.
