After looking at your last picture, it appears that the new color makes the C6 look like a Cadillac?

Its just the angle. The tint coat plays tricks with your eyes.

RTSVET,
thanks for posting these pictures. I have recently decided I'm gonna geta JSB with Titanium 2 tone interior. Now, I find myself scouring the net looking for any JSB picture I can get.

I think what I like most about this color is how as you move down the door from top to bottom you see 5 different shades of the color because it accentuates the cut lines in the car. Black, my original selection when I found out LMB was gone, tends to hide the cut lines.

I think I like that blue but not seen in person.
Guessing that there should be center caps in the Gumby wheels.
Nice work getting that tour, that is definitely on the list. Do they allow you to take pictures? ..thinking not..

The more I see this color the more I like it.Im going to buy another Corvette here pretty soon.ZR1...2008....Midyear I dont know but if its a new one it might be JSB...................I could have gone without seeing the XLR-V though.What a joke,just my 2 cents now.

No cameras are cell phones inside the plant we were told they would take them away and not give them back if caught with them.

Good pics, good color. Doesn't look as nice as the Mid-Years in that color, but does anything?

They must change the cars under the sign often. I was at the plant on July 24 and 25 for a buyer's tour for my friend's Z06 and took this pic.

If I were purchasing an 08, I think that blue would be just fine for me IF I could get it with something other than a black top.
