Would you please show me where I said that Blue is going away for a year????

You can still order IBM.

Right now.

Not on a ZL1.

But on an LS

And an LT

and an SS.

And - you don't know what we plan to offer in the future......so please - -I'm begging you to the point of where i want to hang myself from the nearest tree - please -- don't jump to conclusions.

All will be fine.

As I said - we have dropped colors in the past - and then we came out with more colors......and people found out that dropping "Palomino Ivory" might be painful - but there were more colors coming that captivated them.....

Bummer.... The Imperial Blue Camaro SS with white rally stripes is my favorite Camaro color combination.

Why is everyone saying there is going to be no blue for 2012? How do you guys know that they won't announce another blue? I am sure they will.

Fbodfather has hinted they will in atleast 2 of his posts

Wow, God was really looking out for me when I ordered my '12 in IBM! Blue truly was the only color I wanted my Camaro in, and I can't thank you enough, Scott, for telling me to wait because I'd get it.

Real glad I already got my Imperial Blue Camaro SS !

Wouldn't of had it in any other colour.... Now it will really be a collectors model.

I'll trust in the Fbodfather as always...

The post by him implies that 2013 will be when "the sun comes up". I guess this is where the year I mentioned earlier came from. Nowhere in his post does he say when IBM will be dropped. Earlier posts before he chimed in sort of implied that was coming soon because of the ZL1.

Whether or not Chevy does it...I still think that some form of Blue is necessary for all the models of the Camaro, including the ZL1. We'll see what comes...

Besides, you can't be Red, White & Blue without the Blue

gltrakas · 12-15-2011, 05:37 AM

Glad i got mine!!!!!

Mynock · 12-15-2011, 06:50 AM

I have to agree with many of you. The IBM is a beautiful color, my 2001 Camaro was Dark Blue. Always loved that color, wish my 1998 Z28 was that color instead of Black. Oh well. But as far as being rare? 10,000 units is quite a few cars. But how many of us remember the Dark Green Gray Metallic from the 1992 model Camaro's? Most have propably never seen it. I happen to own one and it is one of roughly 1,500. So with IBM's being one of 10,000, sure it's not a common sight, but ultra rare? Time will tell.

BackinBlackSS/RS · 12-15-2011, 08:15 AM

I would think a new blue will be available at some point.

This guy is obviously an individual of excellent taste, who appreciates the finer things in life.

matthook · 12-15-2011, 08:23 AM

Everyone really needs to read fbodfather's posts other than the original one... It's obvious now that another blue will eventually come out, they wouldnt totally get rid of blue let's be serious here; be patient, and use your heads.

I think the clue is in the phrase............."let's see what happens in the next couple of weeks"........
