Color Conundrum
Sup guys,
I love my car and when I say love, I mean LOVE, as I'm sure you all do as well. However, my affinity does not stop me from day dreaming about the NEXT camaro I own. That being said, with all things being the same, assuming no new colors are offered and none are taken away (R.I.P IOM), if you were to buy a new Camaro in the future, would you stick with your current color choice or go a different route? Me prersonally? Well, I have a silver ice metallic with black racing stripes and other black accents, (Bowties, gills, etc) and I adore her but I do think that the next one would either be IOM (if it were still offered) Or summit white with black accents. The summit white has really grown on me and I find myself drawn to it more and more.. How bout you guys? |

Two of my cars I have now are black, including my Camaro. The Camaro is black with silver stripes and looks awesome, but I think I'm done with black and if I like the 6 th gen I will get a light color with dark stripes.

Go with summit white but be ready for cleaning it, but in my opinion it would be worth it.

I've owned 3 victory red convertibles. If I were to own a fourth convertible (assuming my wife doesn't finally kill me), I would look long and hard for one in ashen gray metallic with black wheels. Just love that combo.

I love SW and would do it all over again (other than how much the dirt shows, it is AWESOME!). Rather than straight black accents, I find that I really like the cyber gray stripe package and the black vinyl on the rear (check my photo album). The CGM gives just enough *pop* that is a little different than the black you always see. Just my $0.02

I initially wasn't big on the SW, but for some reason lately it's really appealed to me. I think any color is hard to keep clean.. well... clean by my standards at least lol. The silver never really looks dirty from far away but upclose it gets filthy. Especially this time of year with all the pollen. Every day I leave work and I have a nice hint of green.. its 5x more noticeable on the black racing stripes.. |

white and black both bite when it comes to keeping it clean and black especially with water spotting, I am soooooo happy with my crystal red metallic, I just wish they had even more colors like a nice burple.........

Since I can't get Synergy Green again I would either get Red with White stripes, or White with Blue stripes.

You guys are all wrong re white being hard to keep clean. Besides it being the best looking color imo,
it is the EASIEST to clean. It shows the least dirt when dirty- The darker the color on any car, the more the road dirt and grime show.
