I think white cars in general have seen a rise in sales the past few yrs.
The white c6 with red/black interior is very nice IMO.

Sounds right to me.

I recently moved (May 31) from a VR '05 coupe to an AW '07 vert with ebony/red interior. The classic color combination literally sold me on sight. Plus to me the lighter colors really bring out the lines.

I noticed the same thing. It will be interesting at the end of the model year what the % spread is on the C6 colors.

Default that is the combo

been ready to order an 08, to fill the shoes of my awesome looking electron blue/red 2002, but could not figure color. that white/red is the one, i heading to the dealer this week. is the 08 red interior a little brighter than the previous years or is the sun popping the red. my 2002 was much brighter than the current red. whether or not it was changed, my agonizing is over. as they say about my 1987 buick gn that white is "fast with class".

I think it looks btighter than it is in most photos. It's really a classy color IMO.

Nice placement of the Z51 badges. White with chrome wheels looks really nice.

I really like the white/black contrast. I'm not daring enough for the red interior, though. I think the white will always be a low selling % b/c people associate it with a bland color.

Thanks. The wheels are stock polished not chrome.

I've been thinking the same thing. The white looks just outstanding on this car, but dealers don't stock them (because they don't sell, go figure). But the more I see it, the more it's becoming a factor for me. I may very well end up going white next year.

Fight for the White!
