Default 2022 Color - Opinions Please

Hello,

This is my first post. I'm on the list to purchase a 2022 HTC and was hoping you all could help me decide between the new Amplify Orange and Accelerate Yellow. Do you think the exterior/interior color combinations I've chosen look good? Please let me know what you think.

Since you asked, I would not want either of these combinations. Especially the Ronald McDonald special (yellow and red). But what I think is irrelevant. Pick what you like!

Totally agree, colors not withstanding buy what you like. Zymurgy, is pretty much the Guru of Vette info. Best of luck, have fun choosing. Now I'm going to make a batch of popcorn . you'll understand soon.

I don’t really like either, but if these were my only choices I would choose the yellow out of those two but I would drop the red interior and go with black or natural. Go with what you like. It’s your car !!!

If those were standard combinations on the C8 I would be driving a Porsche. If you have a wife, GF, BF, Husband I would give them a crack at it....🤷‍♂️

My advice on this is to make sure you have seen a yellow c8 before you decide. I think it’s a nice color but very bright and more like a tennis ball 🎾 yellow in person.

The renderings of "amplify orange" seem anything but amplified, I would need to see this in person first

The Orange combo is OK, but would look much better with a black interior. For the yellow car, I would be afraid that color combo would get old relatively quickly.

I would need to see the new Amplify Orange in person, as it;'s not metallic and I prefer metallic paint. I don't like the yellow/red combo either and you may get hit with a surcharge for color override on that.

It's your car and your preferences though, so order what you want! The wait is well worth it....

If I was choosing a flashy color that rapid blue is incredible in person. The orange is just awesome too. I just can't do that much flash on an already eye catching car. You'll be getting stared at constantly from all sides. Probably will in any color at this point I guess since they're so badass looking.

The orange is really nice, they yellow isn't my thing but if you did it you would never see a car like yours and if its your taste win win.

and the Hyper Gray color side vents...

Well, Your choice of new Orange with the Natural/Black is ok to look at..though I would pass on the Orange seat belts. The Yellow w/Red interior...almost unthinkable.
