Oh yeah, so am I...

 

That first picture does not do the color/colour justice. Go to the CAC website; they have a media picture of Jetstream Blue. Looks like an entirely different tint.

 

That first picture looks washed out. I saw the color at the Birthday Bash in April it looked much better

 

Here's a better representation... I love this car!

 

That is the best picture of this color I have seen so far.

 

must say that it does look much better in that picture

 

did a cut and paste, burned myself on this one

 

Well lots of bad and some good comments on the new color good thing we all have differrent tastes how boring would it be if everyone had a Red Vette? I haven't seen it up close - but I'm glad that Chevy finally offered a lighter color then the Dark Blue!

 

I'll go down and look at one, but again I wasn't a huge fan of nassau, but it is definitely better than the one in the first pic.

 

The last pic is a great representation of the color.

I saw it in person for the first time yesterday and must admit that I like the color alot. The pictures on the web do not do it justice.

 

I've seen it in person and it looks awesome! It's unbelievable how good the color looks! I was amazed. However, I'm not sure if it is "mean" enough for me.

 

Everybody said the same thing about nassau blue.but when it was no longer made a lot of people went looking all over to find a used c5 in nassau blue.i have take pictures and have seen the new jsb in person and it looks great but differnet in all kinds of lighting the same as nassau blue i owned for 7 years. my o8 jsm is on order.

Jesus, I've never seen so much whining about a color you don't have to buy.... If you don't like the color, don't buy it... Should we call the whhhambulance for you? Personally I am not a fan of the Yellow but you don't see those of us who are not fans of yellow starting threads complaining about the color and making stupid generalizations about people who buy that color... LMB head enough purple in it, like my NBM (the original dark blue), that we could start making some stupid comments about how this imapcts our manhood... but that would be dumb.

You like LMB better? Great, buy an 05 to 07 or pony up the bucks and have the 08 painted LMB... Frankly, as nice as the LMB was, it is time for a change. It's posts like this that make me ashamed to be a corvette owner - bashing other vettes due to their color, how stupid. JSB haters are, IMO, mostly fair weather corvette fans... Some of you don't "get it" - it's a vette and that's what is important.

 

cool, then can I paint YOUR vette PINK? it's still a corvette

my post was stating that I was disappointed that I wouldn't be buying an 08 because they don't have a color I want now. you are getting a little too butt hurt over someone not liking a color.

you like it buy it, I don't I won't. period. everyone is entitled to their opinions, there are a lot of people who make me ashamed of being a vette owner sometimes, but it certainly isn't the ones who have color likes and dislikes.

before you have a heart attack and die over someone not liking a color. If you like it then go buy it, and when I see you driving down the road I will look at the car and say well it wasn't my first color choice, but I'll throw you a wave anyway, because after all it IS a vette.

 

Yes, although that is quite different. You get the option to buy a color on a car you pay for. Painting MY car a color you find offensive or silly is very different. In the endm it is still a vette


Hurt? Not really.... More like annoyed at all of the threads surrounding the change in blue color. This post was not directed at you per se, more the responses that result from the "I don't like a new color" topics. I do not own a JSB (yet), but these sorts of threads are non productive and frankly, now that we have owners of JSB vettes, could be construed as slams against other forum member cars. That starts pushing the line over which threads get locked and people banned. It would be no different than me starting a thread about how (insert insulting statement here) the color (insert common vette color like red or white) si on a vette... It just serves little productive purpose. And frankly, threads like these are nothing more than whining about change. I know that comes across as harsh but it's true.

Bingo, I think we can both agree on the first part... As to the people who make me ashamed - not specifically picking on this thread, but the number of references to the new blue and the fact the owner must be female or a male homosexual is not small, but perhaps the mental capacity of these particular formus memers is.... These sorts of comments are amazingly immature. Again, these references border on member-to-member harassment... I don't personally feel attacked, I just see the whole thing as a sign of some people's limited: maturity, emotional status, and capacity to accept different ideas.

Umm remind me again who started the thread about not liking a color??? In all seriousness, I for one could NEVER buy a typical red corvette - too ordinary and predictable for me... But like you said, it is a vette and they deserve a wave.

sorry if there have been multiple threads like this, I hang out in C5 which is where this started. If they started here too then maybe GM should offer 2 blues since I don't seem to be alone in my thinking. They have offered like a million shades of red.

No offense taken, I'll likely buy a LMB now since I had planned on replacing the motor with something a little bigger anyway. that is unless gm brings EB back next year

 

hmmmmmmmm but a discontinued Tbird..............

 

they had one in a similar color

go ahead start a thread on all those who hate electron blue and see how many responses you get. I'd be curious.

 

We accept your appology...........we know you "aren't fond" of the new JSB but it is still a vette & that is better than a discontinued T bird.

 

I saw the color in person once and wasn't crazy about it.

I saw it a second time at another dealer and couldn't believe I didn't like it the first time. The car was driven around the lot by a salesman and it looked incredible with the light dancing off of it and all these different shades popping out. He pulled it up next to my PR coupe and I thought the color looked great.

Everyone who saw the car was whistling and commenting how great the JSB coupe looked. I was sold and ordered one.

You really need to see this color in person on a sunny day to appreciate it. It is amazing.
