Default Brownstone Interior - Chevy's changed it on the website

A tip of the hat to MDK9950 for this catch - and the screen capture.

I think it deserves it's own thread and not to be buried with the rest of the interior commentary.

When the C7 was announced it was shown with a saddle colored interior that was IDed on the website as "Brownstone." Apparently that was wrong and Brownstone is actually the brick colored 3LT only option that was labeled "Kalahari.' Several people questioned that. Why is the desert color named after row houses and the brick color named after the desert?

Now it's been corrected on the site - Brownstone is the brick color and Kalahari is the saddle color. Kudos to all who caught it and to MDK9950 for the update!

This also means the good looking saddle color is also available on the 2LT version and not just a 3LT option.

New look.

Thanks...I wouldn't put much faith in any of these really specific things on the web site till they really open it up for ordering.

Hate to say it but the Adrenaline Red just doesn't do anything for me. Guess it's the Kalahari for me

I was a bit annoyed seeing it only available on 3LT models.
Very happy to see the correction.
I was thinking of going with red interior so I wouldn't have to step all the way up to 3LT.
I think 2LT will most likely be sufficient for my needs.
