Default [PICS] Introducing Inferno Orange on a 2011 Corvette
GM rolled out the new color this morning and guess what? Its on a 2011 Grand Sport which tells us that the two new colors should be available on all models.

I've seen that color in person several times & I don't care what they say.....it still looks more red (than orange) to me......not that it's a bad thing.
I'm just sayin'.

I had an Atomic Orange vert and always loved it, and I was unsure about the new Orange...but it looks good!

Default Now thats what a Corvette should look like!!!
I think the new Inferno Orange looks great on a Corvette, it's bright, exciting and sporty.

A good choice for new Corvettes being all bright, very exciting and really sporty, exactly what a Vette should be!!!

Thanks alot for posting the pictures.

Default I like it!
Definitely want to see it in person. Not sure I'd choose it over the Crystal Red Metallic, but it's a candidate.

No thanks. Tomato Red Metallic isn't working for me. To each their own.
