Default 2008 jetstream blue

There went my thoughts of buying a used 08 in a couple of years We'll have to see what 09 has to offer.

NEVER should have replaced le mans with that, that color belongs on a discontinued T Bird.

I'm with you on that... I just don't think that "soft" color works with the C6's chiseled lines. That's said, I think this thread is going to be moved to c6 Gen.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that on that particular color scheme, I bet it comes standard with a Clay Aiken CD already loaded into the player. If it doesn't then it NEEDS to.

Saw that color on an '08 this past weekend - it really is pretty nice in person. Reminds me of Nassau blue.

It reminds me a lot of Nassau Blue - which I think was one of the best colors they ever painted a C5 (after black of course!)

GM doesn't take choosing colors for the Corvette lightly. I'm sure there was all kinds of research before this color was selected. I guess the people will determine if this color is a winner or a loser and they will vote with their wallets.

This will be one of the rare colors in C6s.

I always loved the electron blue and Lemans blue. We took the plant tour last week at Bowling Green and saw the new blue. It didn't look too bad under the artificial lighting in the plant, but we later saw one being picked up at the museum...

That’s how us Canucks spell it (Colour) I had a heck of a time with spell checker always catching me spelling it that way when I moved to the US...

And no French here.... All Scottish Canadian here... We kicked the French out of Nova Scotia a Long time ago...

Nassau would not look good on a C6 either, even though I'm not a fan of nassau I think it worked with the C5.
