Getting ready to place order Laguna Blue Z51 LT3

Really having a tough time deciding on interior color.

I live a million miles from anywhere with a decent C7 volume so will have to order based primarily on pixs.

Can anyone post good pix of Laguna blue with Kalahari/Brownstone/Black interior.

I've spent considerable time searching CF and elsewhere. Tough to find good quality pix of the interior with a little exterior showing.

Thanks in advace!

Congrats dude.
But, if you are so far away from a dealer, maybe you shouldn't buy.
I have Laguna with black, chic magnet.

I sat in a Limited Coupe which is laguna blue/ brownstone and the interior was very rich-looking.

Dude I have not seen LG with with kalahari but I have seen LG with Brownstone and its awsome. Pics dont do Brownstone justice. LG with black is a safe investment and always looks good.LG and the new grey also look good ( too delicate for me). I have seen Kelahari on other colors but IMO would not look good on LG. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder but you may get tired of certain colors too quick and its not like tires that you can easily change out. Best of luck.

I had the same problem when selecting the interior color for my Laguna Blue coupe. Sorry, can't post photos yet. Pick it up on March 7th. I finally decided that the Brownstone was very classy and was just different enough to order it. Black would have been safe, but I wanted something just a little different. The Gray was way too light for me, especially on the floor. Good luck with your choice. Whatever you decide will look good.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not a big forum person, and this was my first post.....when no one replied I thought I had bad breath or something.

Planning to place my order tomorrow. I've put together an album of all the interior colors w a little laguna blue showing. I have pretty much the same set of emotions as you guys have mentioned. I've had 2 blue c5's with gray interior - loved it but the blues and grays were darker. Current gray seems a little light. Went to vegas on a golf trip and got to see a premier edition. Brownstone is my favorite color just not crazy about the suede look.

I actually really like the red interior with the laguna blue just don't have the ***** to order that.

I guess the problem I'm having is that all of the colors are nice - nothing hideous - I could probably flip a coin and be very happy.

dr4carz you're right - beauty, or in the case of a stingray, sex appeal, is in the eye of the beholder.

I am along way from a dealer but that's inconsequential re buying a C7. Just means I can't stroll on down to a dealer and check em out in person.

At 4PM today having a beer with my two best buds. Bringing the laptop and getting opinions re interior color choices.

Tomorrow I place the order and the waiting begins.

4 feet of snow in my yard which will make the wait a little easier.

Thanks again for the replies!

Mo, appreciate your dilemma. Went through the same issues when ordering mine in September. I found lots of good photos on Chevy's website, http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-stingray.html and I highly recommend you check it out. They have some great still and videos of the Kalahari 3LT interior.

I love the Laguna Blue with Kalahari and based on the unsolicited comments I receive, everyone else seems to love it too. Many say, "I never would have thought of that combination, but it looks great". I wanted something that would pop but still be tasteful. It is a classy combination.

The Brownstone, while classy, just doesn't pop for me. Too dark. You mentioned the red interior so I'm thinking you really want that "pop".

One note of caution, I did not care for the Kalahari in 1LT or 2LT because of the 2 tone dash board treatment. Would only get Kalahari in 3LT. Otherwise stick with black or gray.

Then again you know what they say about opinions...

PM me with your phone number if you like and I'll be happy to expound upon my thoughts. Bottom line is that I don't think you can go wrong with this car in almost any color combination.

Best photo I have seen of the Laguna Blue/Brownstone in 3LT. That really looks great.

I really like the Brownstone but I do worry about durability/wear. Even in the above pics you can see where it could be a long term problem?
The Kalahari just doesn't do it for me. Something about that shade that seems a little strange. Some have called it peanut butter, which is not meant in a good way.
Red would make me puke, but if you like it.....
That gray is awfully light, and black will always be safe.
Good luck.

The brownstone suede is just not appealing whatsoever to me.

To me, the LG's #1 interior color would be Kalahari, with a strong 2nd by Gray. Black, would bring up the rear and is a bit so-so.

Glad to hear you made a choice right for you.
