Was hoping for a true red color for 2016. Not sure I will get it. Always had torch red before but it shows too much orange on the C7. I would think a Ferrari red would look great on a C7. Maybe not. Never had a more difficult time finding a color I like then with the C7.

I wish they had offered a yellow/black leather interior option. A two tone yellow/black seat and yellow accents like they did with the red in the 2/3LT might have pushed me to a yellow instead of a torch red.

I think crystal red was the 5th biggest seller looks great and is defintely not a flop color. I have a crystal red on order and my crystal red pride is showing through.

I am surprised they are not changing either of the blues, or orange, this year. Sales seemed fairly low for those. Would love to see something fresh and unique instead of another red or yellow.

Can anyone tell me if Brownstone will be offered on the 2LT this year?

I love Torch Red but it does look too orange under certain lighting. I doubt they get rid of it again after what happened the last time they did. I would not be opposed to a different bright red IF it was unique to Corvette, unlike what happened with Victory Red.

I had a 2005 PR C6 and loved the color shade and that it wasn't metallic. This new '16 red looks similar but now a metallic.
Also, here is the red color pallet for the C5 and early C6 back then. Interesting to see how this new red will fit in. Love my LB C7, no impending controversy for me this time.
Just like my '05 C6 with the 'smokey' polished wheels.

Looking forward to seeing a C7 with that color. I know someone posted they saw one at the factory, so I am guessing the folks at the bash will see it, and hopefully post a picture of it.
