Put a UPS logo on it and I'd expect it to deliver packages.

UPS... that’s Funny!

Not my favorite new color, but I suspect more than a few will like it. To each their own, and that’s how it should be.

It's hard to tell from the configurator. You really need to see it in person to know for sure.

First thing I thought of when I looked at that picture was the GM dealer illustration of the 83 Z/28 that hung on my wall as a kid. Later on in high school, I had a square body K/20 in a similar brown. We called it Bad Choice Brown, and many nights by bonfire light, drunk teenagers lamented over WTF would possess someone to order that color.

If you want to see what Zeus Bronze looks like in the real world and not the visualizer, just look at the 2019 Cadillac Bronze Sand Metallic.

I think that color looks better on the Cadillac than it does on the C8.

I hope it's like the first picture. I realize the configurator colors are not perfect.

84 and 85 had similar colors. It will not age well. Owners will take a hit on trade.

I think people should buy colors they like, not what they think other people will like. That's what has gotten us to this monochromatic car look of today.

Not to be disrespectful but This color is more likely to appeal to an older person. Looks good on Cadillac but brown tones not something that should be on a sports car in my opinion. I am so sure some people will feel differently so go with what your gut is telling you to do..

That color with bronze or gold wheels and an off color interior would be about as exotic as this car will get..

The more outrageous the better this car looks imo... when its dumbed down to a standard C7 type color or generic white red black silver it bores me already and has only been out for couple weeks.

That Zeus bronze looks INSANE in person in the sunlight.

That is exactly what I am hoping. Putting Feynlabs Self Healing Ceramic will really make the metal in the paint just pop beyond comprehension.

Interesting point, I do like yellow ie on a hot rod etc, but most people stay away from yellow, well except the Doc.
