Atomic Orange
I was out and about today working in Clarksville, TN. I come out of a restaurant and see a Saturn Vue with this very bright orange paint. I go online and see that they offered this color (Orange Fusion) on 2006 new models but only till 10/10/05? Could this be the new Atomic Orange, Fusion has something to do with Atoms doesn't it? Anyway, was nice but really bright, I guess kind of like looking at DSOM with a mushroom cloud behind it until your retinas melted?

I was over at the SSR forum checking things out a few months back and there was originally supposed to be a "Spring Edition" SSR. This was before the SSR was cancelled, but the color on the truck was a bright orange. If you do a search for the Spring Edition SSR, I believe that you will see what will be Atomic Orange for the Corvette.

Wouldn't be my choice, but who knows someone will like it. Some people like the blue/red color combo.

This is why most dealers never stock a white Vette and also why GM doesn't manufacture pink vettes.
