I believe this to be my favorite color on the C7.

Well done people!

The one LG C7 I saw had a bit a metal flake in it. Hopefully that is still the case!

They call it "tint coat." Is it "metal flake"? Appears to be very, very, very fine metal flake. Now the Lime Rock Green and Night Rider Blue are more of a traditional (large flake) metal flake.

The Laguna Blue teeny tiny metal flake is very suttle. it allows it to be quite vibrant in the sunlight. Without being loud. they really got it right.

No problem amigo. I didn't take it in a bad way. Like the other poster said, I kind of like a contrast: My elegant/powerful C7 contrasted by a gritty industrial background. Kind of a "while my ride fits in at the country club, it can still get nasty" kindof vibe.

I just see an awful lot of pictures posted where the background is someone's drive way, garage, a parking lot, etc....

No offense taken. No toes stepped on. No worries.

I am pretty sure that Laguna Blue is the same as Stryker Blue Metallic which was used on the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. It also had a very fine metal flake in it that just really pops in sun.

Here's mine.

Roger that. From what I saw, not quite as pronounced as the old Jet Stream Blue but close.

Beautiful G8! I had one, I miss that car. They really don't make cars like this anymore. At least not with manual transmissions.

I have a 2014 Chevy SS and it looks very similar to the G8.

The Chevy SS is very nice, I just wish it came with a manual. It's not even an option on that car

Default Anybody get the stinger hood option with Laguna blue?

There are two "stinger hood" options - one carbon flash the other cyber grey. Photos anyone?

Thanks!

I brought the SS just BECAUSE it had an automatic transmission. My C7 is a 7 spd.

The SS and the G8 GXP are virtually the same car. Both made by Holden in Australia and running the LS3 6.2L engine. It was rated at 415 HP in the GXP and I think it is the same in the SS? Same suspension and powertrain, just different sheet metal and interior. My GXP was the A6 and it was wicked fast. Sorry for the hijack - now back to some sweet Laguna Blue C7s.

Well, I guess I fail to see why you get to be the arbiter of what is and is not tasteful.

I trust you'll manage to get over it. Have a nice day.
