Thanks for the pics. That color combo is much better looking than I thought it would be. And it really makes me want to spring for the 3LT if I get Kalahari.

Looks like there were some overcast skies. I bet that color would look even better under direct sun.

As much as I like Torch Red, Crystal Red really pops in the sunshine!

Beautiful, of course, but I think the Monterey Red on my '06 would be absolutely awesome on a C7. I've been thinking about getting a C7, but after detailing and polishing my car yesterday and seeing it out in the sunshine, I think I'll stick with my C6 a little longer. If the C7 was offered in Monterey Red or a little closer to it than Crystal Red, I would have already put a deposit down...

IMHO , the red would not go with this color...our current red on the C6 does, but the new red is brighter to go with the Torch.....

Let me know if I may throw my hat in the ring on your purchase when the time comes, thank-you

Love the C7 from this angle. Rick - are those wheels chrome or machined (I think that's the name of the finish)?

Love my Monty Red '06. I get nice comments everywhere I go. I wish it was available on the C7.

Thanks Rick, that's the color, seats, 3lt package and wheels I'm looking to order. Great to see what it will look like! Sweet!

I too would prefer Monterey Red. I feel they are doing the car an injustice regurgitating so many older colors (most of which you find on other GM cars) instead of coming up with new colors that compliment the lines of the C7.

This appears to be the same car we first saw at Bloomington awhile back. Same car I have on order except mine is 2LT...not as much Kalahari everywhere.

No, the car up top has chrome wheels. The car you posted has painted silver.
