Default Think I'm falling in love with the Zeus Bronze color

My dream 2LT non-Z51.

Anyone that wants to you can do me a big favor and lease this one for 2 years, keep the mileage to around 20-25k. I'll be there to take it off your hands in 2022.

Put me down as a fan, too. Other colors are hard for me and the wife to digest.

Besides Black this is the second color I like out of the 12 available.

I like this too but I think it only works with a black or white interior.

I'd never buy it, but I appreciate how elegant it looks and it goes great with the new tan.

It’s different and I appreciate it, but I like the blues and yellow.

With pewter wheels it looks very different from anything on the road:

Perfect color scheme. I’m leaning that way myself.

I agree, I don't like any of the OEM wheels. When I get mine, it'll have the cheapest wheels I can get then I will get after market wheels. They seems to look better this time around.]

There’s a render on the net if that pic with gold center wheels with a polished lip. Looks awesome.

I agree. It is a great color, I just don't think I could live with it long term.
OP, you should spec it with the Pewter split spoke wheels that are shown in the pictures in this thread, that is really nice looking.

I believe I'm leaning that way, as well. Although I like it with 2-tone black/natural interior color scheme, see:

This will look great in the garage next to my shark gray C7. Hope it is still an option by 2022

OP, right now this look is on my short list, particularly with that interior choice. Just need to see it in daylight first, as I'm hoping it doesn't have too much brown/olive/green in it once in the sun. I never buy a car's exterior color for how it looks at night or in artificial light, but I'm liking the idea of the bronze so far.

Unlike the traditionally popular colors expected to be purchased in the majority of cars, I wouldn't expect the bronze to be a frequently ordered color, nor offered for too many years, kind of like the oranges or greens. And in my mind that's a good thing.
