Default What Are You Thinking The Reveal Color Will Be?

Will the reveal echo the "all Corvettes are red?" theme, or what might color might it be?

I would hope they stay away from Ferrari Red, so I'm going with a silver or blue.

So it will probably be red.

You may be at least half right. The first '05 C6 vert shown was a Silver here:

Silver or red would be the likely ones, but I'll go with the new yellow as a wild card pick...of course white with red interior would be a classic.

I say, it will be red, but I hope it's the same Red used on Viper & Ferrari.

I think silver because it tends to show off the body lines better. The C7 renditions in silver look pretty good.

Yellow was the color of the Z06 press car. JSB was the color of the ZR1.


But yeah, probably red.

Yeah, but it was a new for the C6 red that didn't work very well.

I'm seeing a lot of blue cars coming out in the press releases lately. I'm not a fan of most of them, but lots of blue.

With the emphasis on technology and European styling, I'm going with silver. Red just seems a little too "gold chain" for the new image they're trying to project.
