I sure hope we don't have to wait for the 13' model year to get a new blue.

Any word on when the cutoff will be to order an IBM SS? Will mid January still be safe to order?

Thanks a lot for keeping us updated, very appreciated!

now that's doing the high jump to conclusions. wasn't there like a gold on the old ls1 camaro that was offered? there were not many made...don't see those being "collector's" cars of any sort. you also forget 2011 made IBMs, so it's not like you're even going to be a rarity on the road either with an IBM camaro.

i would say the amount of people that choose mustang over camaro because they want a color only the mustang has is about 1 in 1,000,000. there are a lot of frickin cool colors out there on cars that GM doesn't have, but i was able to find at least one that i liked on the camaro. because i wanted the camaro, not the color.

We sure have some whiners who either already have a Camaro in another color or drive a completely different brand. *crying-why isn't there a blue Camaro( but tagline says owns a black/red/white or a dodge). If you like the car as much as you say paint it. Hell every1 else is customizing.
whines again* i dont wanna pay for a paint job...*crying*
well get a 2010 or 2012....
*crying again* but i dont want a used one, and i want to wait and buy it....
Then this car is not for you.....#thatisall

cars are like women, some are old, some are new, some get turned on easily some need a lot more help, some you just wanna drive into the river, some you can't wait to get inside of, some are expensive to maintain, some are low maintenance, however if you treat them right, you'll have her for the rest of your life.....

I know plenty of people that will choose a car based on appearance and last time I checked, color is included in that range.

My girlfriend points out cars to me all the time that she loves and would drive based solely on their color.. I know she's not the only one as well.

We have a very basic palette of Red, Yellow, Orange, Black, White, Silver, Grey.

I personally like the orange on the car. When I was looking for mine, I told the dealer that I wanted an IOM with IOM interior and black stripes. I didn't like IBM personally, but I still don't like to set yet another color go away.

I know GM asks us to keep faith, but where does that end? ABM was killed off, no blue replacement. Green was special order, then they screwed those people by making it available the next year on non SGE cars, then killed the color. I'd have rather seen a similar green that wasn't Synergy, out of respect for those that bought an SGE. Now IBM is done. That leaves 0 green and 0 blue. I know they've not said there won't be a blue, but I would have hoped by now, companies would learn not to kill one option w/o announcing a replacement at the same time. That comes off as just a kill off and not a trade out.

Also, just because I don't have a car in that color or want a car in that color doesn't mean I can't voice disagreement with killing off color choices.. Variety helps keep all of us from looking just like the other person.

I really wish GM could nail a shade of medium blue. It would look so amazing on the 5th gen body. By medium, I mean colors like Electron Blue and Quazar.....and staple blue's from other divisions that never dissappear, like WRblue for Subaru, Nissans Blue pearl, Opels Arden Blue( for the OPC/vxR models) and Audi's Sprint Blue( for the S-line and RS cars).

It would be really sweet to see Opels Arden Blue. It already looks amazing on the Insignia aka Regal and would look equally good on a Equinox or Impala. Shot in hell of it happening, but a guy can wish.

THAT is beautiful And very close to IBM
With you totally on LeMans Blue; my 68Z was LeMans Blue with White stripes and black vinyl top. Had that car for 13 years and still sold it too soon... same to be said for my NBM 2001 SS... going to hold on to the IBM SS for a long time I hope... love that color especially on the 3-4 days the sun really shines in Michigan...

This!
The Camaro is the only GM vehicle I'd ever own and now that I have one it wouldn't bother me at all to see them fold. Which I'm sure is only a matter of time since they still haven't learned their lesson from the first time around.
