The new gray seems to be more like the Pewter Metallic (lighter).

If that color is truly available for the 2015, then that's what I'm getting.
Years ago I owned a Pewter Gray Metallic Mustang and it was gorgeous! I was going to order Blade Silver on my 2015, but now I will definitely go for this new color...!

I intended to go for black, but the carbon flash accents don't show up like they do with other colors. My next choice is cyber gray, but I have yet to find one in person. I've seen all the other colors and I fear the cyber gray will be too blue. The new gray for 2015 looks a bit disappointing in my opinion. Can't believe night race blue made it another year and they didn't bring back some version of orange metallic. The pictures of cyber gray cars all look really classy.

I have A '12 CGM GS I was so looking forward to a CG Z06. I'll have to see it in person but I'm disappointed to say the least.

Cyber Gray is a very nice color in person, but some people will be put off by its blue-to-purplish cast in sunlight. Obviously we need to see the new gray in both shadow as well as natural and artificial lighting, but it does look promising. I'm wondering whether any of the interior colors will change too, e.g., replacing Adrenaline Red with something dustier.

Well Gentlemen, looks like GM just turned our 2014 CGM C7's into Collector Cars. Looks like the 2014 CGM and VY owners should start their own Discussion Thread.

Well, they need a blank canvas to add colors to it.

The new Z06 is a beautiful car, but she would look so much better in Cyber Gray than "tiger shark" or whatever...

I was originally going to go with Black for mine, but then took another and another look at CG and went with that instead...Glad I did!!!

Depending on the light, it changes from light/medium dark metal flake gray to almost black....new color is way too light, imho, more like "Battleship Gray" that I saw on the USS New Jersey in Camden....Great for boats, not so much for Corvettes!

Oh, well, for those of you who love it, go for it! You could paint a Corvette Turd Brown, and it would still be an awesome car to drive!

See you on the road....

Default My 427 is Cyber Gray Metallic...Awesome in the sun!!!!

I have had three versions of red Corvettes and a white one and worst of all a black one. When I got the 427 I was impressed with the blue tint of the cyber gray in the sun light. It is very impressive but the burst of color goes away if the car is dirty. When it is clean, it is the best color I have ever had. At the golf course I parked in the front and every time I do, people come out and share how much they like the blue metallic paint flavor coming through the gray. It is just amazing to see. None of my RED Corvettes or white ones ever received such comments like the cyber gray. I am really surprised that they think a Navy Gray battleship color would look good on the C7. Just wait until you see one that is slightly dirty, it will look like a Bo-at. Oh well, will have to get a red or yellow Z06 in 2016.

Wow, so many of us thinking alike. I am thinking, maybe the new shark gray with almost a burgundy colored interior.. VERY European..

I saw those types of dull greys on Lamborghini's many years ago at a car show, and said to myself that whoever ordered one of those cars in this new, so called fashionable but unusual and dull colour would regret it later, as it would likely go out of fashion like many odd colours do. I would not pick the new battleship grey that looks so plain in those new Z06 pictures. When I saw the cyber grey colour at the C7's release last year, it seemed like the most perfect colour for the car. Chevrolet has used the CG in their brochures, ads and at trade shows like the one beside the Z06 in the picture likely because designers and marketers feel that CG is one of the best colours to show of the new lines and sleek design. So while I thought a red one might be nice and flashy, I ordered mine in CG, and i'm very glad I did. I would have to say I am surprised that they would discontinue what seems to be one of the best colours for the new design.

What's really strange is, other than Torch Red, Cyber Gray and Velocity Yellow were the two most popular colors used by Chevy in all of their promotions for the C7. Now they discontinue both colors???

I like the new gray color, but would have preferred they bring back Pewter as a color choice. My '00 was that color and it was very nice.

the C2 was nice. The C5 C6 yellow looked
like old cabs and school buses. Silver, Silver grey, grey all
look the same. ?? about every car on the road today is
some form of grey, black or white. Designers go back to the
50's and 60's get some ideas
