I really like Inferno Orange. I also liked Hugger Orange. I may need to get an IO Grand Sport.

I'd still buy red, but IMO Inferno Orange would look much better than either orange that has been offered on a C6 so far, and Hugger Orange would be the best of all, because I don't like metalic paints period.

I'm with RobWilson in liking the colors

Not sure why you would want the same color schemes on the camaro and vette, seems ridiculous.

AO and other colors like it will never be a high percentage color.
Black, silver and red are always the biggest sellers. Just a fact

yes i agree, a low production color is not what's needed to bring buyers in the showroom at this time, when times were fat chevy could include in 'throwaway' 'odd' or 'trendy' color choices.
Now for those that are fans of a orange color you won't agree.

Come on Mr. Conti, is the new blue going to be lighter or darker than JSB? I had an Admiral blue C-4 and just loved it!!

I've always liked Lemans Blue and if Super Sonic Blue is very similiar it will be a hit. Unfortunately Jet Stream Blue was missing the proper metalic accents to make it a winner.

So Machine Silver Metalic to Blade Silver - Upgrade
Lemans Blue to Jet Stream Blue- Downgrade
Jet Stream Blue to Super Sonic Blue.... I suspect Upgrade!
