If I were going to purchase a C8, it would have color and trim as I posted: AY, silver trim, gray/white seats, yellow belts, not sure about the yellow calipers, base model.

However, until I see the car, drive it and find out out how it holds up over time, I would not purchase one. I would also prefer a manual. Heck I might not even like the color, once I actually see it.

I doubt I'd ever consider that salmon color. Horrible.

There's a video floating around the C8 groups on Facebook (can't direct link it here), of the car going into some kind of building at night. It looks pretty good in the lighting. Still would have to see this color in person.

This edited color looks like Medford mustard. It's only good on hot dogs.

Agreed. In some ways, I actually prefer the Medford Mustard over Accelerate Yellow Metallic......
