Default Sebring VS Amplify Comparison *New*

This last Saturday I brought my (Sebring) C8 to cars and coffee and ran into a owner of an Amplify C8. Asked him if he wanted to take some side by side pics. I've been really torn picking my Z color since Sebring isn't available anymore.

I will be updating my 2022 in 2025 and I really hope they bring back the Sebring orange. The amplify looks really dull.
I don't like the direction they went with the yellow and orange. The yellow looks like the color of the vest's emergency worker's wear.

SO is definitely the better orange by far. Really sad they killed it and ZB for the replacements offered.
And Morello red too, gonna miss you, so glad I squeezed in for a 22 to get it myself.



Hopefully whatever green they offer for the C8 ends up either being a dark saturated metallic or a juicy lime color instead of acid green. We have one highlighter color already.

Love my Sebring Orange! With that said if I never saw this color and Amplify was the only orange offered back when I ordered I would have choose another color. I'm on the list for a Z06. If they don't bring back Sebring I am going with another color.

The OP pictures are way more red than what the eye sees. Camera lenses and photo retouch software sometimes do that. I had a SO C7, and it's much closer, in person, to the C8 HTC picture above.

Sebring for me (bias), however, if both SO and AO would have been offered I would have still
chosen SO.
