I love the new Jet Stream as it is almost the same as my original 69 and will probably order one to match my 69. I belive 69 is almost 39 years old....so yes, lets keep the old.

Safety Car
Hmmm... others on the tour were told it was discontinued because of the difficulty in panel matching LMB. LMB wasn't bottom rung for colors (Artic White I think was?), so it seems odd they'd discontinue it for that reason - but I guess they think JSB will sell more.
I'm still waiting to see JSB in person. I like it much better in the recent (full car) pics that I've seen, than in the early color chip or panel shots.
Personally I think it was a mistake to discontinue LMB. Not to take anything away from JSB, but c'mon Chevy... only 1 blue at a time for your premier sports car??? It can't be that difficult to offer more options!

My 6th Corvette is an '07 Z06. LMB. I acquired it on July 2. I have had more compliments relating to this color than my Monty Red '06, Silver '04 C5 and every other car I have ever owned/driven.

For What It's Worth
For what it's worth, from a NON-Blue guy, I toured the plant today and saw a bunch of JSB Vettes being assembled up close. It is a VERY beautiful color! I thought it looked great. Anyone driving one would be proud of it and get plenty of stares! It's a nice change of pace for a while, giving Corvettes more variety as the years go by.

Since I just bought my Vette, I had the option to go for an 08 or 07, LMB forced an 07 purchase. The best color out there IMO! I gave up all the upgrades that came in 08 for this color and do not regret it at all. I wish GM kept this color just for one more year. It's classy, sporty, and sure is sexy! 
JSB is too girly for me!

1000%GM forced me also to get a 07 because i just had to have LMB if LMB was still around for 08 i would be driving an 08, it was that important to me that all the upgrades were still not enough to justify getting the 08 without LMB.

It took a little while to select the color. I went to a dealership that had every color on the lot. I chose LeMans blue because of the changes in tone in the sunlight and at night.
I really do not like the new color.

I think we need to have thread for the most STUPID questions ever asked.. Why I or anyone else needs to state my color is better than yours is just plaine assinine and infantile.. I just spent $50k on a car and what makes you think that I give a rats a$$ what you or anyone else thinks about it..
