Have you seen the color? Can you comment on it at all? I.e. does it look close to my avatar or C5 Nassau Blue or C6 Jetstream Blue?

BMW's got some damned good blues.

Deep Sea Blue Metallic (my Z4 was this color)





I'd kill for a C8 in Tanzanite Blue.

Haven't seen it in person, yet, so I don't know if it's metallic or not. Lighter than both of those in my opinion.

I am quite fond of Slipstream Blue on my SS....pretty close to LMB, maybe a little lighter.

My BMW M5 blue is one of my favorites. I also liked my Audi RS5 Blue.

None, of the above Blues comes close to the wide ranging popularity of Laguna Blue. Not even close.

Nassau and Laguna are pretty close to the same. And yeah, if it's one of these "primer" colors I'm out (not that I think GM would do that, those flat finishes are a pretty niche market).

Have a good one,

This is an old thread pre-reveal. There’s a large rapid blue thread now.

Admiral blue looks really good on the C7.
Pastel colors don't fit such a masculine, powerful car in my opinion.
For the C8, Chevy should bring back Daytona Blue, from 1963-64.
Picture below doesn't do it justice, but the only one I could find...
