Default I knew it - SHARK GREY & BROWNSTONE
I saw the New Shark Grey in Detroit during the Z06 reveal....I knew the Brownstone interior would be amazing on this new color, could not wait to order it....the new color is awesome regardless of interior..

Of all the color combos I have seen on the C7 that is probably the least attractive. Very boring. But, as my Father, who owned a Pontiac dealership, used to tell me, "there is an azz for every seat". I am sure that someone will come along. And, fall in Love with it.

Im 50/50 on the Shark Grey... Its a little underwhelming but with some pops of red and black it works well.


As far as the brownstone goes....

Reminds me of my grandmas old 70' something Buick that smelled like cigarettes and lemon drop candy

I thought there wasn't a colour combo that wouldn't look good on a C7. I guess there is. Sorry, but that brown is

My thought too.

Red would have looked sweet!

I'd be irked to say the least to see the fit of my $80k car with the top of the line interior to be so poor. I've seen this a lot on these seats, and I've seen it much worse on other C7's.

Really brings out the tan/brown in the Shark Grey... makes it look almost like the Pewter color on the C5.

This was a quick pic, car was not ready for delivery and what you see THERE, the white is part the plastic protective coating on the back of the seat!

I was referring to the fit of the seat cover and the wrinkle in the leather. The white spot never caught my attention.

The first time I saw TSG in person I could see a slight "putty" hue in the paint. These photo's really capture that.
