We did the same thing in 2010 with the Synergy Green Edition Camaro. Then GM decides to make the color available to all Camaros in 2011!

But that's ok, we still love the car and the color

NO color on GM's color palette should be considered planned exclusive across model years, with the scant exception, and only if they say that it is so. I can recall only one off the top of my head, but there may be others. The one-model-year exclusive retired color such as the 50th anny Corvette's Xirallic Red Metallic. And Fbodfather even said it was used only on the 50th, and then was being retired. Really nice color, too. Obviously it doesn't pertain to killed-off colors, such as ABM. That wasn't exactly planned.

The exclusivity for KB in 2013 only says to me that no other 2013 Camaro will come with KB except the HWSE. That doesn't include subsequent model years/models. If they've mentioned the color will be retired, or by some contractual agreement with Mattel, then all bets are off once the last 2013 Camaro rolls off the line.

This isn't to say they will use KB again. It just means that there's nothing available to me that says they can't. If Fbodfather chimes in and says it won't, only then I'll believe it.

Nobody from GM is going to tell us that Kinetic Blue is going to be available for 2014 while the HWE is still being produced. I'm pretty sure that color is the biggest reason people are buying that special edition.

Beautiful car! My good buddy from college - Ravi Narra is from Elmore. He's a Dr. there now (took it over from his dad). Also know Grant Cummings from up there.

I have a 2011 VR Vert 2SS/RS and I love it...but I'd trade it on an ABM...or possibly on the upcoming HWE vert. Love the blue!

Exactly it will be April/May before we hear anything about the 14's at all....and that's usually the earliest time.

Yeah. We've said about all that can be said about wanting a bright blue on the Camaro. GM listened and answered with the HWE. Not the answer I wanted, but I can't expect them to cater to just me. I'm not really expecting a blue I could live with for 2014 but if it happens, I will be elated.

It's not gonna happen. All 2014 colors have been announced.

Anyone know if any pics have surfaced of the blue interior option? I'm still holding out hope that Kinetic Blue will be made available (eventually) on the 2014 models...

You'll have to do a search. There's some pics out there on the site, but I'm not interested in them so I'm not going to look for you. hee hee.

Personally I don't care for the look but that's just me. May look good on white or black exterior color or with blue ray, but don't know if it would go with any other color.

My bet will be that Kinetic Blue will definitely not be available on 2014's. I would think that GM will debut a new special edition Camaro for 2014.
