Inferno Orange Metallic

Saw this color in a row of Chevrolet's with a sunny sky over head.

I was not impressed. It IS quite red. VR was 2 cars away and the IOM
WAS MORE RED THAN ORANGE! I said to my son "some people are going to be pissed when they see this... It is very metallic but not very orange."

The other thing was this was on a AVEO .:(

Is there not one color that is UNIQUE to CAMARO?

white


seriously, not many GM cars have a special color associated with them. corvettes do, but they're a notch above other cars in GM's eyes

Thanks for sharing your opinion with us. This just backs up my recent change in color. I was very stuck on the IOM color at first, I think because I like the IOM interior and the heritage of the hugger orange 1st Gens. But the wife has expressed her opinion that IOM is not what she would like to see sitting in our driveway!!! Remember the phrase...Happy Wife = Happy Life!!! So, I think I'll be changing to SIM or CGM. Still want the IOM interior though!!!

I still prefer hugger orange better even though I still like inferno orange. I'm getting cyber grey however if hugger orange was offered it would be my number 1 choice for sure..

I've seen IOM on a Solstice and it was pretty orange in direct sunlight, but not anywhere as orange as hugger orange. In the shade it could be mistaken for victory red.

See I was set on Red, until I saw the shots of the IOM with white stripes in one of the show cars (Montreal?). I think the orange looks really good. The wife told me she is not a huge fan of the orange, I said I guess you won't be driving it then will you?

I think the orange needs the stripes to break up the color. My local dealer has 2 orange coming, one with black stripes and one with white so I will get to see them both. He asked me what I was considering and I told him the red. I think he is planning on getting a red as a stock car unless someone outs down a deposit.

Are you sure you saw IOM, dude? In a lot of lights, it really does look orange. Not to mention, last time I checked IOM was not an available paint color on the Aveo.

i wanted IOM so i did about 8hrs of serious surfing/reading/looking and decided if it aint hugger... i aint havin it.
Rally Yellow will fill the bill on this one.
color popularity is not a big concern of mine, i just gotta like it since i gotta pay for it.

Until I see the IOM in person I'm sticking with my order. I ordered one and if it looks a little more red than orange it won't bother me. On order a 2LT RS with the IOM color and trim package with an auto and polished wheels. I want some black stripes that go over the rear spoiler but I'm not sure the cost. Some on here say it will cost $2k. I can't see paying that much for them myself so I may need to check out some after market stripes.




Edit: changed wording from over the roof (ugh) to over the rear spoiler.(yes)

It's funny how color opinions are so subjective among different people. I think, only from pics' that I've seen, that that color changes a lot in different lighting. I love colors like that.

Thanks for your input

Factory stripes won't go on the roof. So you'd have to get them either painted, which might cost 2 grand or go to a sticker shop, in which case it will cost you maybe 800 bucks tops. ( Getting full vynil rallys for my G5 over roof also cost me 600 so I cant see it being a lot more than that.)
