I haven't ordered because you can't order convertibles yet.

But, my leaning as of today is Cyber gray with a 3 LT interior with red/black. However, if I ever see what Kalahari looks like against Torch red, I could go that way.

So, my preference actually is Torch red but I'm not sure until I see the interior colors.

Let's put it this way... there has to be some red in there somewhere.


BTW: If you look at this poll, it's quite consistent to what GM's past numbers look like even with this small a data base.

Velocity Yellow...the pics of the car at BG and the pics during performance testing got me hooked. I changed my order from Cyber Gray. Also, wanted a somewhat different look so went with Kalahari...common F-car combo. P-shopped pic to show...

In my opinion green will only last one year. It is unique and like orange appeals to a small group.

If you combine the 2 red colors (Torch and Crystal) and the 2 gray colors (Cyber and blade), you can see that red and metallic gray cars are the most chosen colors.

Interesting isn't it...I am glad there is wide appeal across the board.

You may be correct, however, Polo Green (which imo is close to LRG)was available from 1990 to 96, and on average sold better than 5 other colors offered during those years.

LRG is the reason I'm getting a 1st-year C7.

I'm surprised that after 44 votes, there are only 3 for Laguna Blue. I thought it would be more popular with the amount of praise (deseverved) that it gets around here.

Yep. I think we need the "24 hour rule" to accommodate regulars who may be offline for the 4th of July holiday.

The whole color thing has driven me crazy. I finally settled on CG for various reasons but Artic White, Silver, NRB and CR were all calling my name. Its all good. Love the Yellow and Torch Red too. Black looked awesome...hell, they all have appeal! I was just really curious were people netted out on there decisions, since we hope to see these popping up in August / September.

Velocity Yellow / Z51 3LT Black Interior with Suede Inserts and Upper Wrap. Solid Color roof and spoiler / mirrors. Silver wheels with yellow calipers. Stinger stripe. No front emblem.

My thinking is that the VY on the C7 truly looks like an exotic, and the subtle black nappa and suede should complete the look.

There's absolutely no way I can afford one.............but if I did order one it would be a Torch Red coupe, chrome wheels, and I would have the removable top painted body color.
