That faded yellow color is horrible

... The 2014 yellow is a million times better.

Looks like you guys with the bright yellow C7's may have a one year only GREAT looking color.

That faded "butter yellow" looks ugly

I think they should cancel it even before it starts. Looks awful.

CONGRATS! to all you guys with the GREAT looking 2014 Yellow!

Dark green colors never sell well on any car.... They usually don't stay in production very long. Because they don't sell well.

As for orange... Atomic Orange is the best they've offered so far DSOM is too dark and too copper colored to me.

That C6 DSOM was more of a "rust color"... To dark looking.

That would be confusing- How about Detroit Sunrise Orange

Get the trans right and the color wrong

Dropping Lime Rock Green after 1, ONE! year? There aren't enough secure drivers that want a beautiful hot rod and not scream LOOK AT ME?
And you finally put the 8 speed auto in it too....I'll keep my "original" LT4 in Polo Green II....

Actually, the color yellow used in 86, 87.... Maybe through 91 or 92 even was bright but not so in your face. Wouldn't mind that one again

Also, Lime Rock Green will be eliminated and Velocity Yellow, and Cyber Grey will be changed to other variants.

It took me almost 9 years to get my 05 dsom. Now I have to figure out a way to live long enough to get a 15 dsom; damn vettes are going to be the death of me.
