Default Does anyone like the Gray interior?

I'm not seeing ANY pics of the gray interior....wondering why? I LOVE the look of it and it goes with most of the exterior colors but yet no one seems to be ordering it. Why?
Post your pic here if you have any exterior color with Gray please.

I think it depends on what version you have it in. Too much gray doesn't work well for me but a good mix of gray and black work fine. It looks great with the blue or black for sure...maybe the silver, too.

To each their own Blue...i just think the grey is too light in color and don't really love it regardless of exterior color.

The gray interior needs to be retired, it's so 90's.

I am waiting to see a gray interior with my own eyes. The photos I have seen to this point seem to vary from a light to a dark gray.

As you can see from my photo above it is a light grey. Not even close to the very dark grey that the early GM photos show.

I ordered gray and "it's so 90s". I am more of a function guy and a hot climate with dark colored seats do get hot and uncomfortable.
My C7 is at the dealer (250 miles away)waiting for me to come take delivery. I have not seen the gray in person but the dealer sent some pictures and it is much lighter than GM shows on their web page.
I haven't even seen a C7 in person even. If is too light I won't buy it. I ordered 2LT so it wouldn't be all around the dash but the carpets are pretty light also.
We will see.

I have a Silver/Gray on order (currently 3400). I haven't seen the interior in person, however.

So does that mean black is so "Model T". Maybe in your mind.

I've seen it. Very nice, with a tasteful look that makes the small interior of the C7 feel twice as large as the black interior. Looks great with the Laguna Blue and silver Z51 wheels and red calipers.

That does look good. My '03 EB coupe came with a light gray interior and I think it is a great looking interior color. Of course, it depends on the exterior color too.

I currently have the Gray interior in my Silver C6 vert and I have seen the Gray in the C7, however I have not yet found a C7 with the Gray Suede interior. That will help make my final decision. All of the interiors look great, just a matter of color preference. The suede looks real nice, just concerned how easy it will be to clean with the top down and a bird sharpshooter doing it's thing on the interior. :o)
