Sorry for being an idiot...but I keep seeing "wait for CGM!" and "CGM IS FINALLY HERE" and stuff, but what exactly is it, and what does it stand for? Thanks!

Cyber Gray Metallic

It is the unicorn of paint colors for the Camaro...we are all waiting to see what it will look like!

Supermans · 01-11-2009, 02:40 AM

It is the only color we have not seen yet on a Camaro...well fully.. The Dale Jr. concept car has Cyber grey paint on the hood and other area's..

Cyber Gray Metallic is what Greg Norris used to defeat the Evil Emperor of the Underworld. GM decided to honor him with the most precious gift known to man by choosing to offer CGM on the Camaro. its awesomeness has to be handled very delicately, therefore it takes longer to harness it. that's why we've yet to see it on this car. other attempts have been successful on the Corvette & Traverse, and the color takes on new forms in almost every different light, as seen below

A Camaro in CGM is like a unicorn. There are stories about them and artist's renderings, but no actual sightings or pictures. LOL!

Koru · 01-11-2009, 02:37 PM

It's a dull color that some seem hyped up about.

It appears to be a dull color that some are hyped up about.

Rodrunner · 01-11-2009, 02:43 PM

I thought it was Computer Generated Metallic?!?!

That's all I've seen so far. And just what is Zebra on....or don't I want to know?

^^^Hey, Koru, wanna go for three???

*Camaro_Corvette* · 01-11-2009, 02:45 PM

Agreed with Koru. It seems to be just another dull gray color and some folks are pumped up about it having "some blue flecks" in it. Big deal. If you want a bunch of people coming up to the car and saying stuff like, "Wow this looks better up close", then I guess it's a damn cool thing. But if you'd rather pop heads from a distance, stay away from CGM! I think GM doesn't show this one off b/c they are using the old "absence makes the heart grow fonder" trick. At any rate, it's a crappy color and maybe that's another reason we haven't seen it. All this is just one man's opinion, so all you CGM fans, don't come 'round here kickin' my balls over it.
