Grey Interior
Does anyone know whether the grey interior on the C6 is darker grey than the grey interior was on the C5? The pictures make it look dark. I am told that the September Road and Track will feature a blue C6 with a grey top and grey interior.

Gray Interior
I have ordered a silver/gray coupe and been unable to find a clear picture of the gray interior anywhere. My dealer believes the leather is close to the C5's light gray, although NY auto show photos on web seem much darker. Glossies in brochures and Corvette Quarterly look almost tan. If anyone has a color-true photo please post. Thanks.

On my 97 it was called Pewter. They changed the name a couple of years later.
What is this about black carpet in red interiors? That sux!
I hoped GM realized with the success of the shale interiors, that buyers want ONE COLOR interiors. I would love to get an all red or all Cashmere interior instead of the black dash.
I understand it's easer to assemble with all the cars having the same color dash, but I really hoped we would see the one color interiors in the C6.

You guys are right.
But according to the c5registry they called it both Light Gray and Pewter.
"Abbreviations: B=Black, Lg=Light Gray/Pewter, Lo=Light Oak,
R=Firethorn Red"
I'm just glad I wasn't imagining things.

Once again, a B.S. answer to make an excuse for something else (not aimed at you). What about the black carpet? Are they worried about glare from the carpet???
