Really, what color?
Just curious to get some perspective/opinions regarding C6 exterior colors. I currently have a Millenium Yellow C5 and I am preparing to order a new C6 - the issue is what color? I have had red and black in the past - I think the machine silver with the new C6 body style is the way to go. Whats the general concensus regarding exterior colors?

Precision Red and Daytona Sunset Orange here the only colors offered that hadn't been used on the C5. I figured my choice had to be between these two. After see both in person the choice was easy. I did like Precision Red at all. In the sunlight Daytona Sunset Orange is awesome. For me Daytona Sunset Orange is the only choice.

My solution to the color issue is to opt for no color... i.e. BLACK! Black shows the lines of the vehicle best. I went round and round on what color would be best and finally made the decision that NO COLOR is the way to go. Go Black!!! With ebony interior!!!

TRAYC6 I agree with you and the pics I have seen really show the car's lines wonderfully. Seriouswheels.com has some super pics of a silver C6 convertible. Thanks all for the insight. Although I think my Millenium Yellow C5 convertible is a hot looking car I think the new body style for a convertible in silver is the way to go!! Now if GM would simply start putting the parts together right!! Thanks!
