In my humble opinion obviously. Such a great looking car!

It's a great color in my opinion, but GM didn't get it wrong, the public did. They didn't buy the color so the change was made. My favorite C2's are the 67 green cars. In 1967 Green was the number one color..

I see "StrayDog" received his LRG vert in November 2014. I would be curious to know the VIN Number. Mine was completed on 7-25 with a VIN of E5133782. I did not know they were still assembling 2014s at the late date. I understood that 2015 Vettes were being assembled starting Mid August 2014.
My typo, sorry , my 2014 LRG convertible built Nov 13th 2013 , vin 6968 .......was advised one of the first Convertibles LRG .The Dog

I love LRG but was not able to find what I wanted (bought slightly used).
When I told people I was looking for a LRG C7, their response was always "ick green" to which I always responded "your nuts, its an awesome color". The public did get this one wrong.

I had internet searches going on for what seemed like forever before finding my lrg/7mn/z51/3lt brownstone.
was hard to find - but worth the wait!

I love the color as well but decided not to go with it because like a black car it can show the dirt quickly. That really was the issue for me, found it odd how few they sold, it does look beautiful.

I'm old and retired, got all kinds of time to clean cars but much rather just drive them. Had a black 300 one time, last black car I will ever own. My wife and I really were back and forth between the Crystal Red and Lime Rock, I was leaning towards the LRG but like anything darker the dirt and dust shows, that became the deciding factor. Same reason I don't like dark hardwood in a house, looks great but shows every grain of dust. Life's a trade off.

The dealership, where I bought my '14, got a LG vert with 3LT Kalahari interior and top. Absolutely gorgeous car. Very classy.
Hated to read the color got discontinued. So folks, if you have one. Hold on to it. It's a future collectable.

After nearly 2 years, still love my LRG
I have had my LRG 3LT coupe since November 27, 2013. I have over 18,000 miles on the odometer and I still get a smile every time I site on the kalahari Napa leather seat. For the 4% of the 2014 Stingray buyers who bought LRG, you know you will be unlikely to see a clone of your car on the highway. Enjoy an elegant and unique color on a fabulous car.

it's definitely not a color you see very often. I've only seen two of them, one i used to see every day that i drove by the local chevy dealer, as the owner had a lrg convertible premier edition last year. The second one was when i was coming out of letchworth state park last fall on a short road trip my wife and i made to ny state. I really love this color a lot and was super disappointed when it was cancelled. I really wanted gm to revive green during the c6 production run, but they never did that, and when i first heard they were bringing a green corvette back for the c7 i had high hopes that it would be popular and have a good long run. Now i doubt gm will ever revive green again, it just doesn't seem to get ordered anymore, not since the c4 days when polo green was super popular. I had a polo green 95 trans am that i bought brand new and that was one of my favorite colors of a car that i've ever owned.
