As you can see in the last two pics, they appear almost identical, but also notice the AO is in the rain and my DSOM is in the full sun. The DSOM looks almost RUST color in the rain, so I think GM accomplished what they were trying to do...capture the nice orange color from the DSOM, but in all lights. Sorry, no pics of DSOM in the rain because who takes pics of their car when its dirty!!!!!

If you actually see them side by side there's a bigger difference than shows in the pictures. I think Daytona Sunset Orange looks the best.

In another thread, we've seen pics of a car painted one of the colors of orange with a chip of each laying on it. I have a slight preference for the DSOM, but I still like both of them.

The two colors are much different in person.

From the reaction to AO at the Birthday Bash, plus the $750 cost, it could be a one year color.

DSOM is sublime- it looks very different as the lighting changes. The car will be orange, or bronze, or even gold depending upon the sunlight it bathes in. I don't know if AO does this; I've not seen it first-hand. Now that I own a DSOM car, I can't imagine why I would have ever considered any other color (I was focused on an LMB, Silver, or Monterey Red prior to purchase). The Cashmere interior compliments it beautifully. I am glad GM is discontinuing it- I'll have one of a few.

I guess this means we may not have an orange option in 08-09, etc. That's what happened with my Dark Bowling Green Metallic 2001. I wanted a new vette, but didn't care for any of the ordinary colors. I've always been the type to want or do whatever is different than the norm.

Wow, that's interesting. I didn't realize they couln't just pick any color they wanted.
I say we send this thread to the paint guy at GM, haha, and tell him we want DSOM for 07 or "we ain't buyin a new one".
