Default Bluetiful No More
Read this today and just can't figure Chevy out sometimes. Article says they are doing away with Laguna Blue Metallic (and Shark Grey). What is with the Blue and Corvettes? Nassau Blue lasted just four years on the C5, Lemans Blue on the C6 just three years and now Laguna Blue only three years.

I am beginning to wonder...I have owned all three colors. Had a '97 in NB, an '05 in Lemans Blue, and now my C7 in Laguna!

Terrible decision IMHO. LBT is one of the best C7 colors. Oh well, I have mine so I guess I really don't care.

I'm glad I have mine already. It will be interesting to see the next iteration of blue they offer for the Corvette. I just bought a 2016 Silverado 1500 Z71 LTZ in Deep Ocean Blue Metallic and it is a killer color.
