Not too surprised at that news. It was not a color I would have chosen.

I'm not either, too bad though, I think because it presented more questions than orders, GM is moving on..JMHO

In the right light, this is a sweet color, every C7 has looked awesome this generation!

If anything, Sterling Blue should have replaced Blade Silver as they are so close. Laguna Blue was a better blue IMO.

Rooster OG

It's not a color I would've considered.

It was a matter of time, as it looks more like a silver then a blue, The deeper blues look so much better, to close to silver. Maybe it would have sold more if they called it STERLING SILVER

As an owner of a Sterling Blue GS I think that is awesome news LOL
In my opinion, and anyone's that has seen my car, the color looks great in person. With them cancelling it so early, it will mean that there are only few of them build, which makes my car a bit more rare Not gonna stop me from driving it though, way too much fun!!!

I thought I would really like this color but when I saw it in person did not like it at all. It does not look like Silver at all, it is a very feminine light blue. No surprise it is getting the boot.

Rick, I love your Youtube videos.. Definitely entertaining.

I'm in complete agreement with you. It's a nice color in an absolute sense but to most people it fails as a blue.

If anything, I'm glad you don't get to make those decisions.

MSG C5

If anything, I see you struggle with the concept of "IMO".

Even so, maybe if I was responsible for making those decisions, perhaps GM wouldn't be canceling a color less than 10 months into a production run based on low sales and the fact that it's barely distinguishable to another color that was already available. Laguna Blue was the fifth best selling color behind White, Black, Red, and Gray in 2016 and the combined sales of Blade Silver and Sterling Blue haven't come close to matching the Laguna Blue sales. I think there was more room in the market for both Laguna Blue and Admiral Blue than there is for Blade Silver and Sterling Blue based on the units sold.

I hate blue cars. Dealer tried to sell me a Blue GS with a White center racing stripe full length. Butt Ugly. Sorry if you have one that color. Not judging you just not my taste in colors.

I hope they replace it with VY as the CRY is making a lot of folks cry including me. I was at the dealer and was thinking of trading in my VY 2014 Z51 for a Z06 but because there is that butt ugly CRY I decided to leave and keep my VY Z51

It just makes me wonder why they brought that colour in, in the first place. Someone screwed up on that ! Perhaps you have to see it to appreciate it but where's the focus groups and feedback from Corvette owners ? Just another screw up from the people who make these decisions in a vacuum. It will make those who have the color love it that much more as it has a rarity property to it now.

Thanks, appreciate that!

Friend just got one and told the sales person it was Blade Silver the first time he saw it. I thought it was Blade Silver the first time I saw it in the bright Florida Sun.

I love the C7 platform, rear tail lights and all, as it's been a big hit for GM. However, it seems with the C7 generation, GM has been quick to pull the trigger on new colors and tweak existing colors as we're already on our third gray paint in the fourth year of production. I know this wide variety of paint colors allows for more individuality options for owners and everyone has their own individual tastes, but it seems as though GM is trying to move the platform into a more muted range of colors. Instead of a bright metallic red, a vibrant yellow, a vibrant blue, a bright orange, and a green, we now have two blue-ish silvers, a dark maroon-ish red, a pale yellow, and a dark blue as replacements colors.
