It's a unique color for sure. Won't be too many of them in the Gen6 population.

Nice pics of the scenery. Cell phone or not, those look taken professionally.
But back on Topic, for the one pic of your car, it looks pretty dark. I know in direct sunlight you can faintly see the blue based on photos from other people's car on this forum, but I can sort of see why they killed this off. It almost looks like black. Then again, the replaced a bluish black with a bluish silver that essentially looks silver. Not exactly anything I'd personally lose sleep over. |

I dont think GM killed it. I think consumers killed it by not buying it.

The Arctic Blue color they replaced it with will probably have even fewer takers. The Blue Velvet was a great color it was just competeing with the ultra popular Hyper Blue.

I saw somewhere that Blue Velvet tested middle of the road with people, and black, silver, and one or two others were below it if memory serves.
In fact I think the chart was on this forum. You all that guessed the WA/OR/CA coast are exactly right! We drove from San Diego to Washington along the 395 out east, then circled back along the 101 and 1 through big sur, and all the little towns on the coast. The Red Wood forests were amazing too! I hear they filmed the part of Star Wars with the Forest moon there. Thank you! Whiskey |

Same here, though you can never go wrong with black so I'm not too disappointed. It's a pain to keep clean and care for but my guess is blue velvet wouldn't have been much different. Part of me also sort of regrets not getting white lol. These cars wear white well.
