I do not think it will sell very well, but I love it, which is why I will try to get a C7 the first year.

Here's an interesting poll: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...-corvette.html

Negative. It's GMs way of offsetting the tail light hate.... give the old timer's "retro" green instead of round tail lights.

Wonder if it will be available at extra cost like blue. It is a period color, subject to a short run. People wanted green for some time, GM listened.

Never been a fan of green on any car much less the Corvette. So to answer the question NO.

Absolutely not. Didn't like it when I first saw it. Love it in the other colors though. My first thought was the old Lotus Esprit Green. The Brits might like it though.

That green belongs on a station wagon or a mini van. Now maybe a bright Lime Green.Lambo Green or Viper green?

I'm 24 and I absolutely love it. As of right now it's my #1 color choice.

They need to bring back Atomic Orange or DSOM. Most beautiful color on a vette to date.

I like it. I think with Brownstone interior/chrome wheels it would look retro classy.

If I were ordering one I would definitely get Lime Rock Green! I just hope they make enough of them so that when I buy one used in a few years I won't have a hard time finding one.
