Hyper Blue sold more than Red last year, and Yellow sold more than Mosiac Black and Garnet Red, two colors they are keeping.

 

And nightfall grey, the #1 color in 2017, discontinued!

 

What is the strategy?

The strategy is to change it up... mosaic black and garnet red are Chevy's base colors. All other colors are changed every few years. This isn't a new concept.

You forgot Summit White. But that doesn't mean it's a good idea, to drop your top selling colors. A few of "Chevy's base colors" are some of the worst selling.

It is never wise to drop what sells..

 

I've owned 3 white vehicles.. They look decent until the first pass of the sponge shows how dirty they really were.. All I can say is a white vehicle is quite different than a white shirt.. :D

Getting back on track....

Wife and I took the other cars to a local car show / fund raiser for the boy scouts. Try to take something every year to help them out.

Gave it a proper bath. Holy crap the brake dust. 

 

Ryan, I apologize for doubting your dust complaints on your 5th years ago. My wash mitt turned black on my wheels and I still need to go over it again.

What's with that ricer red tow hook on the front?  Not cool for an otherwise cool car :(

I have 23 miles on my car and while checking tire pressure yesterday wiped part of the wheel and my finger was completely black. Luckily the graphite rims hide the dust a bit

When I wash the wheels on my Hellcat it makes a black river down the driveway from the brake dust. :smash:

No stranger to brake dust running EBC Yellows on the Silverado. In just 200 miles, my front mags are BLACK. Never seen brake dust so bad in my life.

 

Price I'm willing to pay for unbelievable stopping power in a 6k lb. truck, though. Can only imagine how great they'd be in a car. Next time I'll have to see if they make a set for the Grand Marquis. That thing stops just as good as the truck with just it's plain-Jane, stock parts-store pads!

 

I'm a big fan of these things.

My wheels are flat black and you can still tell. 

 

I have had mine half as long and crossed 1k miles yesterday. :lol: I parked way out at Best buy yesterday and when I came out a grey or black 6th SS was parked two spots away. My wife said it looked like the guy ran after me becuase he caught up and told me he liked it. :lol:

Damn winter will not let go here.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
