Looks like they changed the name recently.
Maybe a couple of sharks got offended and demanded GM change the name to something else.

It is odd since I think they used Shark Gray in the bash presentations but GM doesn't use different internal and external names. All I can figure is some legal type found a trademark or duplicate name issue at the last minute. Or, the constraint report has the older name and hasn't been updated.

The fleet order guide shows Shark Gray Metallic. 2 separate GM systems, same RPO code, 2 different names. Typical GM......

For marketing purposes you are correct .... but when you later go to the parts department for touch up paint, if it follows in GM tradition, it can be called just about anything that might make you afraid to use it.

It looks great in the photos, but I need to see it in person.

It wouldn't be fair to the owner to show his car. It is the combination of colors which makes the car so bad. If you PM me I will send you a picture but I am not going to hurt the guys feelings in public.

They will be building a few in the first few weeks, because it shows 5%
capacity and my order is at either 2500 or 3000 already...Production is due to commence I guess the week of August 11th...Harvey
