First Pics of Aqua Blue Metallic Camaro
 
3 Attachment(s)
Finally found some pics that someone snagged with their cameraphone of an Aqua Blue Metallic LT/RS. I wish they were taken with a better camera and at a higher resolution but it's better than photoshop. :coolpics:

Nice find!

That's a good looking blue,that will be a winner

Camaro_Corvette 11-17-2008 11:54 AM

Sweet, now i'm just waiting for the color that i plan on getting.

kozzmo49 11-17-2008 12:01 PM

is there a reason y they made a car with a color that comes out later than other colors that come out first?

Not sure I understand your comment. Aqua Blue Metallic is one of the initial release colors. Summit White is the only delayed color.

Croathlete 11-17-2008 12:19 PM

ABM sure looks a lot darker than I thought it would. How much darker could IBM be?

Weird, because I see white ones all the time where I work!

kozzmo49 11-17-2008 12:38 PM

That probably is a slightly different shade of white or else hand painted. There is another thread that talks about the reason for the delay having to do with changing out the paint color in ON.

kozzmo49 11-17-2008 12:40 PM

no actually i think im right... it doesnt come out till november

Camaro_Corvette 11-17-2008 12:41 PM

No, I'm right, it is coming out tomorrow. LOL.

It is November.

tmane'sLtRs 11-17-2008 12:44 PM

i believe abm comes out the same as every other color but anyways this color looks darker than abm's that i have seen maybe a newer blue that they are testing?

Mr Twisty 11-17-2008 12:53 PM

Nice find! I like it

Stingr69 11-17-2008 01:07 PM

Was those pictures taken in Detroit? It looks like Fishbones Grill in the background of the second picture. I was there a few weeks ago.

Looks like IBM more than ABM to me. :chevy:

-Mark.

kozzmo49 11-17-2008 01:11 PM

it comes out in november... for the last time

UCF w00t 11-17-2008 01:25 PM

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. It sure doesn't have that "aqua" tint to it.

GTAHVIT 11-17-2008 01:31 PM

That's too cool!

Blue rocks. Still getting CGM on mine... But blue is my number three color.

Nope, sorry but the one in this post is ABM. I've seen ABM on an HHR recently at a local dealer. IBM is A LOT darker. I've seen IBM in person on multiple Malibu and HHR models and there is no way that the photos I posted are IBM. On dim/overcast days like the one those photos were taken, IBM actually appears closer to black with some blue highlights.

Here's ABM on the HHR:

and here's IBM on the HHR:

UCF w00t 11-17-2008 01:55 PM

Hmmmm. That's interesting then. I can't stand the color they have for the rendered ABM but the one in the pics looks really nice. And so does IBM on those other cars. I wish they had them all sitting next to each other in the same lighting on real cars. Picking a color now seems to be an impossible task. I was pretty set on CGM but now I'm second guessing the choice.

TJ91 11-17-2008 01:57 PM

it definitly is ABM but looks darker because its a cloudy day, Dylan, where do you see the white ones runnig around? I live in Toronto as well and would love to see an iver running around, let me know

radz28 11-17-2008 02:03 PM

AWE MAN!!! I like that blue too!!!

Nice find :D

Mr. Wyndham 11-17-2008 02:13 PM

WOW.

That...looks....REALLY great!! Not quite as bright as Jetstream...but wow. I can definitely see myself in this color...damn. Now I have to go choose again.:mad0259:

Very cool!!


(and it IS aqua blue metallic which is NOT a delayed color.;)

I thought that was just for the SS? :iono:

LadiesMan217 11-17-2008 02:17 PM

It is REALLY nice. Not what I was expecting at all!!!

That color with white or silver ice stripes will look sa-weeeet.

TJ91 11-17-2008 02:23 PM

White striped on that would have me drooling.

SSmoked 11-17-2008 02:25 PM

BEAUTIFUL. i love it. a sunnier day is all i could have asked for more. but damn this car is stunning. next up is a pic of this blue on a ss and im walken striaght to the dealership for a pre order.

TJ91 11-17-2008 02:26 PM

hey Dragoneye, which colours are you choosing from?
I have a feeling the colour choice poll is going to see a sudden sparrk for the ABM
Did anyone notice how day to day pics of the camaro on any colour look absolutely amazing? Every picture i see makes me want that colour, i ordered IOM, but this ABM looks killer. GM did a great job on the colour selection, except the small mistake of not offering any blues on the SS intially, i hope the SS gets the choice of Jetstream Blue

Fbodfather's post leads me to believe that they'll be offering IBM and ABM, not some other blue.

christianjax 11-17-2008 02:52 PM

It appears to be an overcast day in those pics so the blue looks a little murky, it pops more in sunlight.

I'm sure the fact they were taken with a Blackberry camera phone didn't help with the image quality of the pictures either.

I agree with UCF W00T about the rendered Aqua Blue. That color just seemed to "girly" to me, but the actual color on the real car looks pretty good. If I were getting Blue, I'd still go for Imperial--although it's a very dark color and will show alot of dust and dirt just like black.

oramac0002 11-17-2008 04:14 PM

That blue looks good but I don't think that it matters what color you get on your new Camaro because the car is just awesome.

Sharpe 11-17-2008 04:17 PM

Looks OK.

White stripes would really look good on it.

elpatofeo 11-17-2008 04:25 PM

....Imperial Blue Metallic will be my choice. I like the darker blue cuz it looks black at night.

xl1200r 11-17-2008 05:48 PM

I think trying to compare any photo of a color to those crayola drawings on the chevy site for the color choice is a bit short sighted.

This is Auqua Blue, no question what so ever.

And the "November" date was when they were going to release what blue you would be able to get an SS in, as there is no Blue SS option as of yet. ALL colors except for white will be available at launch.

I am so confused by how the color's are looking vs the renders on the website.. This color doesn't look aqua to me even though it looks nice.
