Yeah, much better that everyone get that bright red interior and have a headache every time they're in their car.

Lots of things are brown; why is turd the level of your thinking? Does the red interior scream "period red" to you too?

Well I do think of blood when I look at my red interior.

My buddies joke with me and call it the pimp interior. Someone suggested I wear a fur coat and a fedora everywhere.

Anyway, worse things have been said about all interiors.

I kinda wish they kept brownstone and deep sixed Kalahari. I'll never get beige.

One of the things I am really enjoying about the C7 generation is the amount of exterior/interior color combinations that have and will be made available over the generational run. There are literally one-year combinations out there that are unique.

The Brownstone was never an option I considered as I lean more toward Jet Black cockpits and the Adrenaline Red trim, however it did match up well on some colors and it's great that some owners got to choose it.

My touch and my fanny really likes nothing better than microsuede. So I had to have it sight unseen.

Wrong on many levels. I love the original Dark Metallic Brown that my '74 left the factory with, back then. A gazillion red 'Vettes out there (and yes, I have a '95 too in Torch Red), but I've only personally seen two in this color.

I went without the inserts. But there is still plenty of microfiber inside to make most happy.

It reminded me of the C3 Tabacco brown. I think the problem was it was only available in 3LT. It was the color I wanted the most.

If the carpet had been black instead of brown I think I'd have liked it a lot better.

The Brownstone wasn't available without all the suede on the console and trim pieces - right? It just seemed like way too much suede to me. Kinda like **** carpet from the '70's.

Great option for those who liked it. I've had black interiors, and grey interiors for years, and have gotten bored with them. I couldn't quite do Brownstone though. I was a little nervous about ordering Kalahari with a Laguna Blue exterior, but I really like it.

I might be old school but I like the dashboard to be a part of the interior. All the other interiors have black dashes. Oh sure the other 3LT colors have " some" color in the dash but Brownstone covers everything. Even the door panels and console are draped with high end leather and other quality materials. Sad to see the first class interior go.

This is the main reason that I ordered Brownstone.
