Thanks for the very interesting stats.
Looks like my MR Blue is just as limited/rare as my C5 Navy Blue Metallic years earlier.
One surprise is that only 64.5% are auto. When I was shopping this past month, Seems like most of the ones on dealers' lots are auto, thought it was around 90% to me...
My C5's manual was an upgrade back then, today the my auto is an upgrade. Go figure...

My C5 is also NBM...
IIRC, NBM was about 8% of production for 2001...
With 1827 total for NRB, it is less than 5%
Someone asked a while back what are the odds of another C7 being a duplicate of another... for me, this comes close to answering the question
Only 189 2LT Coupes with suede black interior...

The table is full of errors. Almost every row does not add across correctly. The "Total" is overstated by as many as 22 (R8C) and understated by as many as 18 (2LT Suede Kalahari (344)).

So on my base model I have the least popular color - LRG (356), 3LT Suede Kalahari (100), yellow calipers (579) and exposed carbon fiber roof (512). How rare is that! Gotta be darn near unique I would think.

All pretty much in line with my expectations except one thing. The popularity of the 3LT package! Don't get me wrong, I love it, but never thought the price justified the upgrade over the 2LT.
Of course, you have to wonder if the reason for this is that the majority of cars were ordered by dealers and not individuals...more profit in the higher priced cars I guess..

Wow, my LRG/Z51/Brownstone/NPP/3LT/FE4/MEL looks like frog fur.
I have yet to see another one in real life.
with what I read to be <355 potential variants out there I had better take care of it.....

Across several months and many visits, most of the (stock order) C7s I saw on the floor at my selling dealer were 3LT/automatic.
The 2LT M7 I bought was neither a stock nor a custom order; they had a truck an out of state dealer wanted, so swapped for it....and I just happened to stop by a few days later. OTOH, they knew I wanted an M7, but I don't think they got it with me in mind.

I have closed this thread because the statistics that were released were incorrect (see my previous post). I have been in contact with the NCM and they have pulled the blog entry (link in the original post) and they have also removed them from the NCM website. I have been told that it may be the end of the month before the statistics are finalized.
