I would like to see a blue similar to the Supersonic Blue that ran during the C6 generation. I think that blue would look great on the C7 lines.

GM needs new people picking the colors on Corvettes. The same tired colors every year and then they wonder why sales are off?

It won't be the corvette name. They all have pretty bad generic names. I can't imagine them selling Switchblade Silver Metallic, but its been on the road since 2014 as Blade Silver.

The new color names will change, these early names are usually the ppg in house names not what GM will finally call them.

Can anyone figure out if a new wheel will be offered? I would guess GM would offer a new wheel for 2019.

I wonder if "G1E – Long Beach Red (Limited Addiction Red)" is exactly that, "limited". Perhaps it is on it's way out. That would be ok with me since I have one, the fewer the better.

Virtually all the color names are actually something disgusting for the paint code.

Mine is "Unripened Green." Pretty gross, but we troop on and get over it.

Sheesh.

I seen a pic of the ZR1 in a Nardo Gray. Maybe that is one of the gray colors that was mentioned. I hope.

The Z06 here is a wrap in nardo Gray.

That Watkins Glen Gray ZR1 looks absolutely fearsome. Very intimidating. I really like it.

Opulent Blue is Admiral Blue. They use the name Opulent Blue on Cadillac's.

That is the color on my 2012 CTS4.

The Rhythm and Blue must be either lighter or darker then Admiral.

I hope lighter as well.

I don't see the point of 2 different darker grays and Black... then technically Ceramic Matrix Gray as a light gray and White Are these the new Mercedes Benz colors or Corvette?

Is the narrow body car going away? All the wheel and tire options are the wider size.

The options list shown on corvetteactioncenter.com, although indicated for 2019 Stingray and Grand Sport, is actually for the Grand Sport only.


As you've noted, the wheel options are all "Cup Style" and tires are Grand Sport/Z06 sizes. A number of other options ie: Z15, Z16 are for Grand Sport only. I think that they've added "Stingray" in error or just wanted to get the information out as many options are applicable to both models.


The narrow body car better be available, mine is on order and will be delivered in the spring.


Best regards
Ross

No, they went to 19s and 20s on the Stingrays for 2018.
