New Purple? Not So Fast GM

Looks mighty close to me. 2025 looks like a strange Deja vu color year. GM seems to have lost its creativity when it comes to colors for 2025.

I predict the purple will be near the bottom of the list of 2025 color options.

As many guys here that go by what their wives say, it’ll be a popular color.

Doesn't look like a version of "purple" I've ever seen. :crazy:

Jettcity1 04-29-2024 09:48 PM

I'd buy that color in a heartbeat.
Love it

Its funny they would pick that shade again because most people hated that color back in 1998

Now this is the purple GM should have gone with. Had they done that it would have really made a statement to the sports car world.

Even the name makes a statement!

The new color does look very close to the '98 pace car color.

I like the new purple but for the ones who don’t I’m surprised the name “Barney” purple hasn’t come up? Sam

Saw this video the other day and really debating wrapping my HSG in it. Best part about that color is it's actually PPF and not Vinyl. How much do you guys think an entire PPF wrap costs like this? 6k?

Should sell good in Minnesota.

I think the 1998's problem is the FUGLY YELLOW accents/interior. I don't think Radar Blue was offered as a standalone color RPO 21U. Based on how many dingbats seem to want their C8 to be the same color as a Trax, Cacti seems to be doing much better than expected. It wouldn't surprise me to find the take rate on Hysteria to be a few ticks up from the bottom.

Corvette has always has a problem with insipid color options. I'd blame GM more--but the owners keep buying 80% of them in monochrome & RED. So here we are...

100%

I agree with you 100% GM miss the boat once again. That Z06 IMHO is the best looking one to date. That color is fantastic and looks very exotic, love it!!!

Something wrong with monochrome and red?
