Default Goodbye Brownstone Interior - You'll be missed

You served us well and added an extra touch of class to an already Classy Corvette, thank-you!

Brownstone interior, no longer available for 2017

I've got mine and it blows people away . The Brownstone is more luxurious then performance. Did the number of buyers fall below the acceptable range?

Kalahari is still available right? They are both types of "brown" or is Kalahari more of a beige?

Saw a Premier edition 'vert for sale up the street at a BMW dealer last week. I was really tempted. It sold quickly.

Rick, couldn't agree more! One thing that zapped Brownstone's popularity was that it was only available in the 3LT and 3LZ interiors. Not sure why but that in itself insured it's somewhat exclusivity and ultimate demise. My '15 C7 Z51 M7 Coupe is a DSOM exterior (another loser in sales numbers!) with a 3LT Brownstone interior (rumored to be one of 34 produced in that combination) with Competition Seats and the Carbon Fiber dash. Everyone is rightly proud of their own C7 and chosen color combinations and options, as I am of mine!

I just love it and bought it because I wanted the most luxurious look and feel.

Sorry to see Brownstone go away. A very nice interior indeed.

The Brownstone is awesome in NRB.

One of 57 produced in 2015...

Seemed out of place in the C7 to me.

Too bad. Pictures don't reflect how impressive that interior is. The colors seem to never be correct. I would like to have seen a little more black in it like the carpet.

Probably one of the smartest choices GM has made this year.

Default Good Bye Brownstone

I think it had either a 3 or 4 Year Run and in my humble Opinion it blew away every other interior Color Corvette ever produced....Had it with Blue-Green and Orange-and now my present 16 ZO6 has it along with Orange. Had 2 Daytona Oranges---
I was going to order it this Year (2017) in a Convertible with Black but was told some time ago it was history because of lack of Sales..
Funny a rather large Dealer in Southern Florida Did not even know they offered it----I was there looking at a Camaro and he saw my Vette..
Guess I will find out in a couple of months if a rare Combo really sells----I think it makes no difference......Harvey
