I feel like they have a pallete of 8-10 grays and just rotate through them. I always liked Satin Steel Metallic and the cement gray, I don't remember GMs name for it.
 
It would be nice if they brought back a variety of colors again. The big challenge would be getting the dealers to stock them on their lots.
 
I have to say I'm getting bored with the comments on these stories that are always "fix the engines/transmission issues, remove DFM, fix the lifter issues, remove the big screens, remove direct injection, improve the seat comfort, etc..."

I get it the frustration on some of this stuff. However, it is a large corporation with supplier contracts and manufacturing contracts that have to be fulfilled. They can't stop production. They have other teams working on issues that come up.

Plus, they can't just swap out things like seats in the middle of a model run. That's just not how things work. And it is cheaper for them to have one screen size throughout the lineup.

I also think it is interesting how GM consistently gets knocked for their DFM systems that cause oil starvation concerns. I went back and looked at it seems like Ram came out first with cylinder deactivation. Ford followed a few years ago. Everyone is using it now. So that would mean every new engine then is junk from every brand. Yet, I don't see those same comments on Ram or Ford videos.

This is when you point out the electric versions available and reply, "Solves all your problems, buddy."

I think it's that GM is notorious for having issues with the DFM/AFM systems. Ford and Ram implementations also caused problems, but less so and they seemed to have fixed them compare to GM where it's still an active problem.
