Take the Black wheels, Decals, off the doors and black mirrors off and i think the car will look a lot better anyway. A nice set of polished wheels would probably compliment the paint much better.

and black mirror and wheels.................................
Jsb is way better.

To be honest, I think it would have been better if the second Blue that GM offers on Corvettes was not approximately the same shade as the existing JSB.
A darker Blue would have been better IMO.

The blue is ok but I'm not a fan of black wheels and that "colors" my opinion of it.

I'll have to see it in person to decide, but I'm already pretty sure I won't like it as I was really hoping for a very bright blue along the lines of Electron Blue or Quazar Blue and this definitely is nowhere near that bright by the looks of things.

This is very true....when they first showed pics of JSB, almost everyone said they hated it and could not believe that GM could come out with such a color

looked it over today in person @ BJ. i like it ALOT. color is always a personal choise anyway. this car looks beautiful AND the interior is what every C6 should look like! if the wheels were comp grey on this car and not black - that would be better.
if you are looking for a "LOOK AT ME" color, this is not it of course.

Haven't seen one in person...
I'd have to see in person, and I'll bet it looks great in certain types of light, like the Spiral Gray '03 I had.

Belongs on a high end sedan (eg. BMW 7 Series, Cadillac STS), not a sports car like the Corvette. Also looks like the car is in color coat, and the factory forgot to add the clearcoat. Dull, boring.
(I saw a Mercedes at the auto show yesterday that was painted flat satin black. What a stupid way to ruin a nice car! Sports cars should be bright colored!)
Prediction? This new Corvette blue will not last as long as Daytona Sunset Orange, a WAY nicer color!
