QUOTE=bpk1959;1607536038]thanks guys. just wanted to be sure I'm not crazy. I would hate the car every time i opened the door. it's a loaded 2lt 3300 miles 65k. I'm gonna pass.[/QUOTE]

I'm kidding here but I'm serious...

What are you going to look at? Lol. Don't do it!

Do NOT go look at the car Monday. You're in concussion protocol right now. It's President's Day weekend. The seller may do something weird like drop the price to $62k 😳 You are in no state to deal with such temptation.

Remember:

1. It reminds you of something your mom would outfit in her Buick.
2. You hate it that color combo! Especially the console.
3. You already passed.

​​​​​​But if you do buy it, enjoy it the ride!!!

Count me in. I ordered my Arctic White 3LT HTC with two-tone Black/Tan. I think it has more of a “sophisticated” vibe to it.

Keep looking. There's a reason the price looks good. I was surprised how many of the used C8's for sale last spring had red interiors. The tan I could see in a red or black exterior color maybe.

I looked at the car. I would have drove it home except for the interior. I'm a patient man. I'm gonna get exactly what I want.

I was looking at an absolutely beautiful 2022 Hypersonic Grey Metallic HTC 3LT Z51 Mag ride, Lift, everything! I was in love.... till I opened the door.

It was like somebody turned on a bright RED light in my face. Almost like a sun burn. Adrenaline Red Dipped.

Now I don't want to hurt anybody's feeling here, but that just WASN'T for me. I didn't want to pass, but I knew I had to pass.

Like somebody said earlier, everybody has different tastes.

Still, a beautiful car...

I like the red interior in the grey car.

Red does not photograph very well. So you just don't get it, till you see it in person.

Congrats on posting the dumbest thing I've read on here in a while. I absolutely love the tan interior and many others do too. Posts like yours are why I hate this forum more and more with each passing day.

You think someone’s opinion on a color is stupid and a reason to leave a great forum? Interesting.
