Why GM refuses to offer more exotic type colors for the now exotic looking C8 is a mystery and very sad.

They’re not even going to sell 500

385 Caffeine cars for ‘22. Bet even less will buy it in 23 and the majority of the 385 were sight unseen.

Kinda a shame considering all the exciting and vibrant high metallic green possibilities.

I'm 74 and I find the older I get the more I like the vibrant metallic colors like lime green, purple, red, etc., etc. My wife thinks I've gone mad.

I like it! The C8 is sleek, sophisticated, and a real head turner. This color fits that descriptor to a T. Leave the high impact colors to the muscle cars.

Can we just have one good dark gray metallic color? Porsche and Mercedes have this figured out. Another waste of a color.

Sea Wolf is non metallic and might just get the primer jokes—so what color are you going to paint the car?

Took me awhile but I found GM’s inspiration for Cacti……the genuine imitation wood panels will be included with the Z08 package but is currently on restraint.
