Default Thank you Corvette for Z06 Brownstone

FINALLY...
I can order a Z06 with Brownstone. I almost gave up.
Just my opinion but I think Brownstone is the best interior I've ever seen in a Corvette. Can't wait to order my 2016 Z06.

I agree. I always liked the suede package it came with. However, 2016s will now also have this suede package with the jet black interior. I'd have to see both in person...

I am jealous. That would've been my first choice. Kalahari is a close 2nd. After AutoDynamicsWeet performed their magic on my interior, I love it!

Brown in a Corvette reminds me of a Range Rover.

Although I think it would look best in a black Vette. Brown in any other color Vette just looks out of place. Yes, it may look classy in a white vette, but still out of place.

Meh.....to each their own.

Brown is definitely the best color and it's not even close as far as interior

I don't remember brown being a great interior color choice back when it was available in the 80's. I don't know if it's a good choice today either...

Brownstone looks good with the right exterior color but, in my opinion, the new red (Spice Red as I recall), looks really nice with the new darker red interior. The paint had a lot of metal flake which looked great in the sun and the darker red leather looked very rich. Gonna be a hit.

That new dark red reminds me of the old Burgundy Red interior of the 90's

I agree that the spice red interior is major improvement over the lipstick red interiors we've been subjected to for years now. HUGE improvement in fact. Although I am not sure it will be a hit because corvette people seem to love the lipstick red interior. Hopefully this new spice red sticks around. It is long overdue

yes, a bit too burgundy indeed. Not ideal, but still an improvement over the adrenaline red, IMO.

Color is what's the tough call. Had a few yellows but might go with the racing yellow or the white.

I agree that this color interior would look nice in an SUV, but in a Corvette?....

BTW, it looks horrific with that red exterior.

I guess there's an *** for every seat.

In my case since Kalahari is no longer a full interior cover choice, then the Brownstone will be my only choice with the new Long Beach Red exterior on a Z06 3LZ.
I have a 2015 Z51 3LT CRT, Kalahari, that I am going to trade for a 2016 Z06 3LZ, with the above new color and Brownstone interior.

On the other hand, I think Kalahari looks like a cheap baseball glove, yet some folks love it.
