It's not brown, it's Zeus Bronze Metallic. Search for Zeus and you will see hundreds of posts and pictures of this car. It was even at the launch event.

I don't believe Zeus Bronze was a color of one of the tour cars in California

I think that color with the interior contrast is sharp...classy! Am thinking it is so reflective that it might hide some of the lines though.

There was a Zeus bronze car at the Tustin reveal. That same car, was at the Paddock, at Laguna Seca, last week. These events you cant sit in the cars. We,, at the Tustin reveal, you could, but the other two events its been to, in California, you havent been able to. So far, only the Elkhart Lake Blue 2LT Z51 is touring the dealerships on the west coast, and the Sebring Orange car on the East.

I saw the one at Carlisle on Saturday, nice looking color in person, with the light tan interior I thought it looked very sharp and impressive. I think the wheels are the weakest styling aspect of the car overall.

Then again, almost everyone in the huge crowd at Road Amerca's showing thought they were fabulous and absolutely made the car in Bronze. I even heard one guy say "it would almost be criminal not to order those wheels for that color".

So, there you go. Your opinion is what you're entitled to...don't buy them.

Lingerie, Camrys and Suburbans are popular in brown; sports cars, less so (for a reason).
