You'll get that in any color too.
I am certain that I will love it. Thanks for the tip on the "Official Color" thread. It's making things even harder LOL! When it comes down to it, I guess I'll have to flip a coin. I still have to see white in person.

I was going to get white but decided because my current car was white to go with something different. I ordered silver but my wife wanted black so black it is. Happy wife, happy life! LOL

That's my problem... first time I saw a C7, it was an all black one. LOVED IT

however, being a DD and not being kept in showroom condition and the length of time I want to own the car, black would be a poor choice for me. I just couldn't keep it looking like new until C8

Hmmm…. My current car is black and every car I've owned has been black, except for my first car. Maybe that means I should try white? I'd love to see both in person, side by side. And even then, I'd probably be banging my head lol

Be careful. This sounds like a typical wife stalling tactic she may be using until she convinces you that the SUV would be so much more practical. LOL!

That's funny. Black is a part-time job . I have owned nothing but white vehicles since my first new car in 1973. White is right

Your s/n is BlackDevil. If you got another color, you would have to change screen names. /topic :P

I dont know how it happens, but every black car I have I say will be the last, and that I am going to get a blue (exactly like the laguna blue) or a white car, and somehow another black car ends up at my house.
