Has ABM been officially axed yet? - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ABM is a sunlover.

I blame GM for this one. The photoshop pics did not serve this color justice in the beginning when people started to make their initial orders. The color is amazing and likely one of the more head turnes and hottest colors of the bunch. I originally ordered SIM, and am so glad I switched to ABM.

Well if this does happen my car is most likely going up in value.

Bummer deal about ABM. ABM was the color of the Camaro I saw in person for the first time. My dad loved that color, but ended up going for IBM because it reminds me of my dad's old Trans Am. This was my second choice.

Okay calm down, it could be much worse. They could put ugly backup sensors on the rear bumper............oh wait, nevermind.

Cmaro214 · 10-22-2009, 04:16 PM

WHY WHY WHY!!!! why the F do they have to drop ABM, its only one of the best colors in the line up. im really hoping my order was accepted already or else i may just miss by a few days, in which case i wlll be extremely pissed at myself and GM.

LeMan's blue and ABM are very different. In picture they look similar but in picture IOM can look red as well.

Very disappointing news, and very short-sighted by GM, I'd say. ABM really shows off the great lines of this car better than many of the others.

Strange... I would've thought it would have been the other way around.

Those aren't LeMans Blue and never did I say they were. My point is that they made the first gens in colors similar to Aqua Blue Metallic. In fact, I've seen a blue '69 Z28 in person that's close to my Aqua Blue Metallic. If that sort of blue isn't a "muscle car color" (if such a thing exists), why would they sell so many (the '69 blues are estimated at 21.5% of production).

Who cares what these so called "muscle car colors" are? Just because you disagree with a color offering doesn't mean that everyone does.

And when you're on the topic of LeMans blue... Yes, it's different from Aqua Blue Metallic. But that doesn't stop everyone I know from that generation looking at my car and comparing it to LeMans blue, then saying how pretty Aqua Blue Metallic is.

When I remember back to the '67-69 Camaros, the first color that comes to mind is the medium metallic blue y'all are talking about.

The ABM was not meant to be the same color, but a modern adaptation of it. It is an excellent update, and actually better looking.
