Glad I saw this as this was a color I was considering. Seems pretty bland.

Also, WTF kind of phone were these photos taken on? 2001 flip phone with a 1 megapixel camera? lol

My thoughts precisely... I was considering Hypersonic Grey until I saw this. Not flattering at all, IMO.

LOL at you guys making a decision on a color based on photos taken, uploaded, resaved, re-uploaded, image quality reduced all with a car on snow tires covered in road grime.

Again, GM, please add some loud colors. Enough with the run of the mill stuff like this

I like it. I've always liked that color.. just a medium grey metallic. But on this car I want something bright and borderline obnoxious.

The metallic in this color should look really good. I understand wanting loud colors that pop! I personally lean more toward the stealth look with the Hypersonic Gray Metallic color.

Nice. I'd prefer a satin color, personally. I have a strong disliking for loud colors that scream "Look at me!" Perhaps a satin PPF would suffice for that, however.

I really caution everyone not to decide anything based on the quality of this photography. Or for that matter the GM Configurator.

IMO get on the list and make every effort to see the car in the actual color you are considering.

GM's reluctance to go with "pop" colors seems to be based on "artistic" taste. Whatever that is.

Just to prove I have no artistic taste, I like Candy Apple Red! And a couple of the very light MB metallic greys of yester year.

FWIW my father had a Hypersonic Grey car at Spring Mountain. It's a great medium grey w/o being dark or too close to silver. The metallic is brilliant.

All GM's other greys are heavy on the blue. I see this as a true medium grey. No green cast to my eye being around one all weekend at Spring Mountain.

Definitely. As much as I want my Z06 as early as possible, part of me is hoping I don't have to place the order before Carlisle so I can take a look at (hopefully) all of the colors in person.
