What do you mean ?? The '67 model alone had 15 colors to choose from, 3 of them great looking blues !!!

I miss more the selection of interior choices you had then. I would love a Gen5 in Black with red stripes and interior.

If we offered 50 colors -- there would still be those who were not happy with the selection.

We try our best.

The CGM replacement will be another member of the gray family......

Thank you fbodfather for posting in this thread.

Although some of us are wondering what you mean by a "richer" Gray , I know you can't really give too much away until it's done and available.

I'll be right here waiting on this new gray with great anticipation.

I'd venture to guess that it may be a grey that is available elsewhere in the GM lineup... whether that be Buick, or Chevy... possibly Cadillac. I'd be looking specifically at Buick Regal, Chevy Equinox, Chevy Impala... We don't have a color palette for the new Caddy that will also be built in Oshawa yet- but the other 3 cars do get built in Oshawa...

Is Crystal Red Tint still on hiatus?

That's a possibility, but to me it sounds like a completely new color. I guess it hinges on what is meant by "Validating" the color.

Does GM need to "validate" a color they already produce just because it's going on another car?

It will be cool to see what it is when it's revealed!

I have heard Scott say that validation includes making sure it covers on the car properly, etc.

They have a colour palette over at the Sandy Sansing dealership showing RJT next to Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat. The RJT is noticeably darker than the Crystal Red.

You know the Camaro is made in Canada, right? Technically it's in America but so is Mexico.

Agree. We have CRT on our CruzeLTZ and it pops in sunlight like IBM However it does appear lighter than RJT Similar colors but definitely different.
