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.

GM color guy is off in the head. CGM should have stayed.
Don't like the new SG. Lets see how it sells in for 2016.
Once people have seen it!
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.

Have seen a CR C7 and Z06 AND they looked terrific. One of my favorites.

New red looks just OK IMO. I'll stick with my AR.

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 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.

You would have to to refresh our memory from back in 2004 with the replacement of Precision Red with Victory Red and not bringing back Torch Red for a number of years.

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.

I want a Callaway Z06 in Yellow. Can't wait to see the new Yellow in person. Looks very similar to VY.

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.
