If it was a bright green or some type of metallic purple, that might be enough to get me to ditch my GT4 allocation and go with a Grand Sport, heh.

I told my wife that Corvette was coming out with a new color that has a B and an E in the name.

She said "Burnt Ember! What do I win?

I wish they would bring back a super bright orange like that. I think it would look awesome on a C7. Then I might take a loss on my car and get a new one.

Bronze Dune Metallic

Had a '11 Taurus With about that color. And my next door neighbor has a new Volvo XC60 about the same. Very good color to hide dust until real up close. A very conservative color for a C7 Corvette but I thing it will look good and be popular.

This is what I was thinking as well. It is called Autumn Bronze on the Chevy Trucks and I think Buick calls it Dark Chocolate. No telling what it might be called for the Corvette, if indeed this is what they use.

And are you hungry for chocolate? GM also calls it Dark Chocolate.

I'm not a brown or green guy, so it won't be on my list, however I can imagine it will appeal to some, especially matched up with the Brownstone interior option. Like most colors, I will wait until I see it in person as some look better and some look worse than they do online.

They had it a stingray on tv that was a brown color. It was at the ALMS races in long beach. Almost matched the brownstone interior perfectly.

Looks very berry on that Cadillac. Reminds me of Dark Cherry.

And if it is that bronze, call me unimpressed. It's a barf color.
Glad NCM is now running the tours. The students at Western Kentucky didn't know a tire from a fender. In Dec. 14, on a tour, I knew more about various build items than they did. One time a supervisor on the line actually stepped in and answered our questions.
