Is this the new orange? From this pic, not as good as AO or DSOM, IMHO.

I agree .. AO was outstanding .. this looks a little pale by comparison. But maybe it's just the lighting ..

Most likely that's just Torch Red in funny lighting. I don't think GM has taken any DSOM examples to car shows.

The article says, "in addition to...will now be offered" In addition to? Sunset Orange hasn't been offered in what? 6 model years? Diminishes article credibility if you ask me.

If that's the new orange i'd have serious buyer's remorse about my torch red because I think it looks incredible!

AO it ain't...that's for sure. Not grabbing me. And dropping the CG...Strike 2 for this guy. My color choices are dwindling.

That picture they used is from last year. It's just Torch Red under bright lights.
