Default Jetstream Blue with split spokes......PICTURE inside..>

Well, a digitally manipulated picture anyway.. My Photoshop gal had a little trouble with the color, but I think this is probably the best rendering yet of how it'll look, at least until we see one in person. Both split spoke Wheel options below...>

Good job. I'll have to see one in person before I can decide if I like it.

I'm not the kind of person that says something is the best just because I bought it. But, if the pictures that I am seeing of this new color blue are accurate, I'll certainly never buy another blue Corvette. eddie

First and foremost, great photshop job...

Now, if this is accurate, I have never been happier to own an 07 then right now. IMO, those wheels seem like they would be more at home on a Dodge Magnum. They seem kinda sport wagon to me. And the color is very astro-pop 80's; just my $.02.

I'm going with the 5 spoke forged high polished wheels myself.

New blue looks pretty good, but not for me. I like the darker metallic blues. To be honest we need more dark metallics instead of lighter ones. A midnight metallic blue would be sweet, a dark titanium grey, or even a metallic black would be great.

While I would love to have that 6.2L there really is nothing else I really like about the new changes.

Double on the great photoshop!

My 81 year old father has similar 20" chrome wheels on his... You guessed it! Dodge Magnum R/T. Look kind of cool on his metallic red Magnum (and considering the looks on peoples faces when an 81 year old man steps out of the car). Not so cool on the Vette.

I'm with others who say they will hold their opinion on color until we see one in the flesh, but initial reaction is lukewarm.

I hope that is a true representation of the new blue. Based on what I have seen so far, it makes me happy that I got LMB and eases my desire for an '08.

Damn, that is ugly. Wheels and color.
