driving! Thanks GM !!!

i'm about to pull my hair out!
Is anyone else having a very hard time deciding what color camaro they want? I intially wanted the aqua blue metallic but when I preordered it wasn't available so I ordered victory red. Since that time I have changed my order to black. Still in the back of my mind I think that I want victory red or one of the blues that is offered. My dealer is probably sick of me because I keep changing my color.
Is anyone else having this hard of a time? I think the only way I could be 100% sure of my color choice is if I had the camaro's lined up in front of me in all the available color choices. geeze......

You are not the only one, I have gone through the same thing. The dealer is there to work for you and to please you. It may be a pain for them but its only data entry. Its not like they have to whip up a new batch.

Ha, I'm still waiting to see a color on the car. The car looks good in almost every single color combo. I want CGM or black, i have also had Victory red w/black stripes in the back of my mind, White or black w/opposite color stripes. There is one color not on my mind and sadly its yellow, GM didn't get me the right color there. I;m reallly hoping that the cyber grey isn't too dark for me to put stripes on it, but from photoshops it looks like it will stray too far away from my avatar, I fear the day i see CGM and it just is not the color i'm looking for.

I was in the same boat, but I am decided 100% now.
All of the colors on the Camaro palatte are great. My advice, go out to a few Chevy dealers and look around, every color available on the Camaro can be found on different models on the lots. Imperial Blue - Cobalt, Malibu, Impala, etc. Inferno Orange - Colorado or Pontiac solstice Cyber Grey - Corvette or Traverse Aqua Blue - HHR Black - Corvette and many others I'm sure Victory Red - Corvette and Cobalt I believe Rally Yellow - Corvette and Cobalt i believe Red Jewel Tint - Malibu I believe Summit White - HHR Silver Ice - Cobalt Note: Those are not the only models the colors are available on, just the few I know off the top of my head. Just go and look at some window stickers Most importantly, take your time. You don't need to change your order right away, you have until mid to late January at the soonest. Good Luck!

just can't seem to leave

i had a hard time picking a color at first. then i went through and decided that BLACK is too hard to keep clean. IBM is almost as dark as black. i don't want a flashy attention-getting color (so as to not have every cop on the lookout for me), so that rules out RED, RJT (darker than red but still bright), YELLOW, and IOM. the WHITE looks pretty flat and plain. i like SILVER, but after seeing it on a hhr, it looked too plain. i'm gonna have to see AQUA on the camaro in person, cause on the hhr, it looks alright, but maybe too bright for my taste. that leaves CYBER, which on the traverse i saw, looks awesome. the verdict: CYBER GRAY

Arg I really wish people will get this stupid stereotype out of their head. It just IS NOT true. Hey at least that means that there will be less Rally Yellow Camaros out there thanks to so many people believing this.

ditto. Several of our LE friends have said that peeling out in cloud of smoke was the head turner for them, not car color.

Red is actually one of the best looking colors that i think is the easiest to keep clean. Please don't rule it out just because you think that cops will pay more attention. I'm seriously considering red with black stripes. My last camaro was colored "arrest me red" (that's actually what the color was called) The cops in my town followed me all the time, but not because my car was red, but because i was driving one of the fastest cars in town. Everybody that drove a camaro, mustang, or anything else fast was harassed by the police in this town, not just me. Their colors mattered not.
