They'll sell tens of Corvettes then instead of thousands. Yep that makes sense! 
As you probably already read, in addition. Isn't part of the new capacity gonna be additional color capacity too? Why not stupid young people colors too? You want to sell the car to young people, maybe that might help a little. It's still very much a geriatric toy, so I can guarantee you will not drive around in a nuclear green Corvette if you don't want to.

I'm pretty flexible on colors, but I was hoping someday they will have a green and orange of some shade. I understand the more colors they have it could increase production costs a little. So be it. Have a surcharge on the colors that are less produced.

I still think it would be a good idea for GM to offer a custom color option on the Corvette where you can get any color you want, for an extra fee. Lots of European manufacturers do this and yes it's costly ($8000 or more I believe) but I bet a few people would take advantage of it in order to have something totally unique without having to go aftermarket

I agree that blue is spectacular, but I doubt I'd kick either of them out of the garage if they magically appeared one day.

mschuyler: I think the idea is IN ADDITION TO, not IN PLACE OF. Old Farts can still have their dowdy colors, but if GM expects to attract a younger demographic, perhaps some colors with some pizzaz are not out of order.
Most likely because they're waiting for the new paint shop or maybe most likely it's not profitable. But they are in the business to sell cars and make a profit .

Also, I agree that it's not profitable, but if they really are trying to attract younger buyers, a small investment could pay dividends later rather than losing future plumbers to Porsches and M cars.
