I know we have black, gray and tan but I mean real colors. I wanna see red, yellow and blue options. Think this has any chance of happening?

well that's four colors. that's a lot more than they usually offer.

Katzkin...They will make you any color you want. The Factory cannot offer what they do as it is not economically feasible to offer such a myriad of colors that maybe 1-2% of prospective buyers would be interested in. Buy a neutral color and go crazy with custom touches from there.

Each option requires an inventory to be maintained, and GM has to pay for that. Cars today don't make as much as they used to make, so GM has to cut costs.

Did you really want any other colors?

If they can afford to offer red in super low qty for the synergy then why not just offer it on a bigger scale. Would bring down overall cost.

I wish car manufacturers offered FULL COLOR interiors like in the old days. If you wanted red, you got all red seats, carpet, door panels, headliner, etc. Not just a few colored sections here and there.

I would love to have a full color blue or red interior on my Summit White SS.

I have a 1976 Lincoln. Offered in 26 colors with 20 different interior colors in full color, not just little inserts. Mix and match as you wish. Amazing how back then they could offer all those colors and choices and still made a big profit. Now they have 4 if you are lucky, and if they offer more there will be zero profit and they will lose money.

I am really sick of constantly cleaning the black interior that shows every speck of dirt. Even if I had orange, it would still be 75% black.
