I agree, and it will be a one year only color as a result. It looks like a color you'd see on a Camry, not on a world class supercar. Would this color ever be offered on a Ferrari or Lamborghini? Hell no!

I think the bronze would look spectacular with a clear matte wrap!

It could be called "eccentric ocean beautiful view" but 99% of the people are just going to call it blue because in reality that's what the color is. That's like saying the new Supra isn't a BMW clone. you can call it what you want but the fact of the matter is it's a rebadged BMW. Same with "bronze" it's just a polished turd brown. If you love the color that's all that matters. I can bet you that it will be a 1 or 2 year color run after they see sales for this color is probably the lowest out of all
No. Its bronze.

But I really don't care what you call it. I like it.

Probably one of the reason I like the color so much is that it is one of those either love it or hate it colors. It definitely brings out a reaction. But like someone posted earlier, I am not quite convinced it is something I would want to live with long term.

Don't think I'd order it but really like this spec someone posted in my thread. One of my favorites so far, that's one sexy beast.

Same design as my dream c8 except I chose red seats. I thought the red seats paired well with the brake calipers, engine and flags.

If that color is close to the Dark Bronzemist Metallic that was on my 2000 Grand Prix GTP I'll take it!!!

I suspect this color looks a lot better in person than it does in pics.

Porsche has offered a bronze paint color for generations. It looks wonderful over a tan interior.

That bronze color is popular on Camry sedans and Sienna minivans.

That bronze with the pewter wheels is perfectly on trend right now. Mid century style, floral prints, plaids, greens, browns, and oranges have been increasing in popularity for a few minutes now.
Look out 90's kids, gold fixtures and hardware is going to make a hard comeback too.
Maybe. Just maybe, we will start a new era of conspicuous consumption where people start wearing real jewelry, dressing up in fancy clothes, and spending money on tangible goods that everyone can see again... instead of "experiences". Maybe that's a bit unrealistic... but brown is HOT baby!

People said the same about white and look what happened with the C7 and other sports cars... Became increasingly popular over the last 5ish yrs. Just take a look at white C7 sales, it speaks for itself... Weird since it's popular among all econoboxes huh

While I agree this color is a turd, a base model corvette is nothing close to a "world class supercar" and isn't in the same league as Ferrari or Lamborghini. I love corvettes but that is the truth. Simply changing the engine location will not make a difference. In a year, the novelty will wear off once these cars are all over the place.

Are you sure about not being offered on Lambo or Ferrari? Not sure you know what's offered from either..



Lots of people in here saying brown is brown and cars this color will never sell. Kinda odd seeing top dog Lambo offer "brown" or Matte Bronze as officially named by Lamborghini, especially on their top model.

Or a 1 off people were clamoring for from Ferrari in a stunning matte "brown" on the LaFerarri...
