Thoughts on trading up? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well through further thought I think I want to trade up and back for a 2010 ABM ss. But I heard they might be releasing a new blue in 2013 any truth to this? I would like a ZL1 but it makes no sense to have that much power as a daily driver lol and I love that ABM color its the best color next to the AGM I have now in my eyes. If they are coming out with a new blue I might wait to see what that looks like as I would like the '13 my link touchscreen.

It is a "new" blue to the Camaro, but has been around. It is used on the Corvette. Here is an example of what it looks like: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...69#post4906169

It has a different name for the Camaro.

I myself will eventually trade up to a SS after I get a house. I am looking at either a 2011 1SS/RS or a 2013/2014 1SS/1LE/RS. My next color is a tie between white, cgm/agm, or crt.

Thats a nice color blue especially in the sun light the flakes really pop.

NRB color has potential, (will have to see it in person), but my IBM still gets alot of attention. Both would be hard to keep clean though!

If you're holding out for 2013, I agree ZL1 is overkill, but the 1LE option is THE way to go!

I'm gonna have to look at that too...

Ehh...I still think that new "Blue" is more of a bluish GREY. Not really a blue to me.

I'm very partial to my ABM....its so damn purty and rare. I get the "I haven't seen that color before...its beautiful" comments fairly often.

If your contemplating a blue, ABM is the only blue worth buying. Every other blue is kind of a let down compared to ABM. I saw one in person and oh man is it amazing! It pops and with the right cosmetic mods, its a killer color

That I doubt, most owners know there ABM Camaros are becoming very rare with the limited production and with such a fine colour! ABM was in my toss up between IOM, SGM and ABM.

With that said, anyone with a ABM '10 Camaro should have no troubles selling if he or she wishes to upgrade to a newer model. I guess I never looked at it this way.
