Default Brownstone interior

This is from the build Your Own site. Is this a true picture? Does the brown continue into the top of the dash like this or is the top black?

The very top of the dash, right up by the windshield, is black.

You can kind of see it these pics:

Big Joe -

That pics looks more orange than other pics i've seen. Hop on car.com and you will see a bunch of the special edition laguna blue vetts w/ some good more representative brownstone pics - the color is more brown than the pic you posted IMO...

Is it more like this and the Chevy site just is messed up? Or more like the first picture. I love the look of the full brown top and I don't think it would look as good if it was like the red.

I have a Brownstone interior, the cars in route. At our car show yesterday I saw a White 3LT with a Brownstone interior and it covers the dash to the edge where the vents are, also the glove box and center consel are the suade material that is standard with Brownstone, the only difference between the Factory picture you displayed is it has the upper drivers side wrapped with suade, that is extra$.

Believe me it is a rich darker brown, you have to see it in person have not seen good pictures yet

BigJoe, I've got the Brownstone in the 3LT package and the dash is brown as you show in the pic. Agree with the other comments that the actual color is a deeper brown.

It is NOT like the Red.

The brown covers the dash, except the very last 3+ inches up at the base of the windshield. I don't think you can see the black part when sitting in the car.

Brownstone makes for a very, very classy interior.

I have Brownstone and I love it. It also comes with the brown carpet to match.

Yeah, that pic is awful.

You really need to see it in person. Like the rest of the car, the interior doesn't photograph well.

The brownstone is absolutely amazing. It really is. I have gotten so many compliments on the interior color alone that after people see the interior, they completely forget about the exterior.

This is the extent of it near the front window. Sorry for the poor pict but the brownstone is my first choice so far. Now if I could only decide on an exterior color.

Default premium edition #53

the brownstone is the only interior available in this edition and yes, it does extend all the way up. In my opinion, the combination of suede and leather is a complimentary package which looks deep, rich and exquisite.

I am sold on Brownstone but I'm not sure it goes with my 1st choice, Blade Silver. Anyone with that combination?

I'm leaning toward blade silver myself and also wonder how the brownstone will mix!

i'd have to agree. i couldn't picture a brown looking good in a Vette interior but since seeing it, it'd be my choice too. looks like something that would look great if it was made into a jacket.

I think the silver/brown would look great. I'm sure there are plenty of "Rollers" out there with a similar combo.

Brownstone is by far the best looking interior (IMO). I think it is a totally superior league than the other interior trim packages. Unfortunately, I could not picture it in anything other than CG, NRB, or LRG. GM needs to offer this suede package in all C7 interior colors!!

Take my word on it, the Laguna Blue looks amazing with it. Very classy look. The Brownstone will go with both reds, both blues, green, white and yellow. It somewhat clashes with the greys for me. I've never liked brown and grey together. I'm also not that big of a fan of black with brown interior.
