SIM but I’m biased…

SIM for me - but I must admit that CGM looks great too on sunny days (based on looking at vettes).

SIM will be easier to look after for a daily driver (which this car will be) and will also literally be "cooler" when sitting outdoors in NC summers whereas I expect that CGM will get pretty hot under the sun down here.

Its amazing how much hotter the black paint on top of my old '94 Z28 gets compared with the white body panels.

Coming from Scotland - I had never considered paint color in context of turning my vehicle into a 4 wheeled oven till I came over here and had to deal with 100 degree plus summers.

Way too many silvers out there for me. Although it is hard
to get those initial visions out of my head from the 06 concept.
Had to vote CGM anyway!

Ok figured i would break the news. I saw a cyber gray traverse yesterday didn't like it at all. So this morning i called my dealer to see if it was still posible to change the color back to silver. He called back and said today was the last day for any changes so I am back with my original choice. The gray is just to bland and doesn't stand out. So i want to add another vote for SIM.

I would say SIM CGM is going to be more common once constraint is off. Harder to keep clean and hides the body lines.. Silver looks more expensive in my opinion silver always does that. Now some people could care less about how "expensive" it looks. Go with what YOU want. I went through this dilemma and no matter if it is 95% for CGM on this poll and you like SIM more, get SIM. Go with what you want man.
