Debut at CINNA-BUN?

Way better than my Sebring Orange. Can't wait to order it.

Now that they made one (or more) probably means they will have one at Carlisle in a couple more weeks

Not sold on it.

Has a Halloween-y feel to it. Which is a shame, I was hoping it would be like the Lamborghini or Maclaren oranges.

Hopefully it's just that it's inside a mall and proper outdoor pics will better show how it really looks.

Looks VERY McLaren / Lambo…need to see it in daylight and not under the mall fluorescents.

After seeing these pics, I might be back to my first instinct which was Red Mist.

Hopefully they'll successfully recruit outstanding employees to build future Corvettes I think they're well positioned in front of the Cinna Bun. Not quite sold on the Halloween edition. But the news coverage in that tiny market is hilarious--love it, They presented this like C8 is a new project in town and GM hopes "to attract new employers". Maybe Musk will drop by for a donut lol...

So true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I am leaning MORE towards this AO after seeing these pics, especially since the roof and nacelles are body colored, hence not suffering from the pumpkin effect, and since my choice in wheels isn't black, there's even less of a chance of experiencing that Halloween-ish effect.

But we all know there's no wrong choice when it comes to colors we like, right?

Is anyone in the Bowling Green area able to grab more pics? I know I'm not the only one planning to get this color!

I do prefer yellow over the orange, just much better looking to me. I remember that song, Ringo's biggest hit......
