Some people do go out and paint their brand new car because they want it to look custom; even when they don't "have" to. However I agree; customers shouldn't "have" to and why GM hasn't already found suitable alternates is a mystery to me. If I was in charge of my company's fastest selling high profile car, I'd have made sure within a week of the news from Japan that I had a back-up set of colors to offer.

What makes you think that they don't?

Have you seen any announcements/color charts/price list color changes declaring the new replacements? Since the price list is already released seems like color changes would be released as well, other than "the following are no longer available..."

When was synergy green introduced on the 2010s?

Nothing says GM has to announce everything at the start of production.

Come on now, Milk. They have a full slate of colors. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean GM has to "step up". They have, you just don't approve.

I respect that you aren't in favor of the colors, Milk. Just don't belittle the General because they didn't ask you.

There we go. Damn logic.

*Milk 1027* · 07-08-2011, 07:04 PM

Please don't take my comments as belittling GM.
Like I said before, I just think the current GM color pallet is boring accross the board. I'm obviously not the only one that thinks this way, otherwise we wouldn't be having all these threads popping up.

Like always, I will wait and see what happens, but right now I am upset at the current choices in colors.

*DGthe3* · 07-08-2011, 07:12 PM

I wonder ... if GM is reluctant/unable to offer metallics, maybe they'll offer more tint coats? You don't need a metallic base for a tri-coat, right?

IBMROBERT · 07-08-2011, 09:04 PM

Maybe they want to go the way of the airlines where they charge for everything. There are 3 colors now that you have to pay extra for now. If they add new colors for 2012, they'll probably be extra cost!

Now that IBM is gone GM will finally bring us a better blue. I really miss ABM :(

A better blue speak for yourself.

bigd1276 · 07-08-2011, 10:13 PM

Can we all just agree that there needs to be at least one shade of blue for 2012?

Tysen · 07-08-2011, 11:08 PM

Summit White was also introduced pretty far into the 2010 production I believe. Hopefully they release something soon.

fbodfather · 07-08-2011, 11:17 PM

IBM will return.

We are working on a replacement for CGM -- it will be somewhat 'richer'

.......and............

If we offered 50 colors -- there would still be those who were not happy with the selection.

We try our best.

AZCamaroFan · 07-08-2011, 11:43 PM

Richer Grey? Terrific! i like grey, but CGM really isn't a great grey in my opinion. you can't see any metallic unless you stand right next to it. Like i say, i like grey, but whenever i see CGM it strikes me as the least of any of the current colors.
