From: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

Saw this color blue for sale online awhile back. Really like the top color too. Was very tempting, beautiful vette,
good price too but the C5 is just getting broken in.

That color looks like a bucket of ****

I can't believe they replaced Le Mans Blue with that crap! LMB will be back in 2009

If I recall right it was a '06 with about 5K miles. A4 with paddle shift. Think you could have got it for about $48K. It was in Vegas. Maybe someone here knows the car.

one can only hope, we were already in GM's blue market and they lost me on that color anyway, I'd take a Le mans anyday over that, even with a smaller engine.

I agree it sucks. Seems it's a bit flatter than Nassau Blue, which seemed to me to have slight microspeckling with grey or even something slightly metallic. This looks more even-colored.

I thought EB was the best blue ever, until came LeMans Blue. I'm very disappointed, also, because when I'm ready for a C6, I don't want to get one too old (by then).

Sad day, indeed.

Strange isn't it that's how colour is spelt in the UK but when I post here I spell it the sam as you guys!

Can't say I dislike that color light metalic colors are popular here.

When the choice is that or Le Mans blue I take the Le Mans blue every time.

Can't beat Atomic orange though

HMMMMMMMM...................
I didn't think they made a bad color on a corvette. Then again, I didn't think I didn't think vette owners were so.....................well...........do n't get me started. This thread has really educated me people. The pic doesn't do the color justice............





Same car, different day, different camera.

Funny I looked all over the place for a Clay Aiken CD & I just don't have any.
I don't need beer glasses to look at my car & Papa smurf has a lot more class than some people.
My car has never been called a bucket of ****.....not to my face anyway. Then again, If someone believes that & can't say it to my face, does it really matter what they say? BTW color & colour are both correct depending on where you live.


And for those who want to use the backup alarm & say Jetstream is totally different than Nassau Blue.......




Have a nice day.
