I've seen both the 2LT and 3LT Gray interiors in Laguna Blue C7. IMO the 2LT looks the best because it is not over done contrasting with the Black. I even had the chance to buy a LB with the 3LT Gray Base Auto C7 that is currently at 3300 with a Dealer in Delaware. Being sold at MSRP $66,500. Gray does look good with LB.

Me...I have had cars with tan and light grey carpets over the years and they are always filthy, esp on passenger side and also the area next to gas pedal along the tunnel is always filthy black from side of shoe while working the gas pedal ( and the first area your eye sees when you open the door..yechhh ) even when you dont think you are rubbing it.

Have a current Audi with light silver leather interior that is whiter and imo more modern than the C7 grey , but it always looks clean because the carpets are black .

The C7 grey/ light carpet reminds me of rental cars like a recent Nissan sedan that was full of black oil spots all over the floor.

Classy color. Looks very good with most of the exterior colors.

Yes, that should be an option.

You nailed it, GM should let you have contrasting carpets, even if you have to pay a little more. It is much easier to keep clean and I actually think it looks better also. First thing I would do is change the front mats to Black.

The gray IMO looks good in ALL the interior styles...even the 1LT where the console cover and door pads are black. Down here in sunny Florida light interiors are simply more practical. I think the adrenalin red would feel too much like sitting in a pizza oven. Just my observations.

I aggree with the other poster - that carpet needs to be black. Seats / center console would stand out nicely and obviously no where near as dirty.

Is that hatch area also grey when you order the grey interior?

I think the pictures of the gray interior look really good but I'd have to see it in person first. I didn't like the red interior (based on pictures here) until I finally got to see a C7 in person yesterday for the first time. The 1LT red interior looked really nice.

Have you seen one in person? Unless the 1LT is different than the next levels, the gray looks much darker in the flesh. Fantastic with Cyber IMO.

I've got the gray in my Crystal Red 3LT and it is beautiful. Not the same shade of gray that was in my '07, though. ALL of the C-7's are beautiful in any color!!
