I think IOM would look great on the Equinox (btw what is the plural version of Equinox?) and Impala. |

How about you rotate the blues? IBM one year, medium blue metallic the next etc? Oh, and btw, I would rock that dark purple Camaro ZL1 all day long!

Scott, I thought convincing you of a lighter blue color would be the hard part. Glad to hear that you are are fond of the lighter blue colors. By the time the ZL1 is ready for production it will be close to two years since there was a lighter blue painted C5 Camaro. It would be nice to see a Marina Blue/LeMans blue come back to go along with the ZL1 nameplate from that era. It might not be the biggest selling color but since the Aqua Blue was removed there has been a lot of clamor on this forum for the return of a lighter blue color. Bringing back the ZL1 nameplate from the past also seems like the perfect time to bring back a matching lighter blue color from the same era. I hope you will throw your opinion into the Team Camaro mix and help bring back a lighter blue color for the ZL1.

Jetstream blue or Stryker blue for the ZL1 would be nice. Stryker blue from Pontiac is one of the nicest medium blues I've seen.
Edit: Didn't read the OP's post too well. I'd have to say neither Jetstream or Stryker blue were available in 1969. Oops. Last edited by Shurenuff; 02-15-2011 at 09:19 PM. |

Please get rid of the current tomato soup metallic orange-ish red, and offer 1969 Hugger Orange. That would easily be one of the most popular colors, and it is one of the biggest Camaro heritage colors around. I will buy a ZL1 if hugger orange is available. No question.

Hugger orange is ugly.
Maybe a new orange that looks "hugger-like" But hugger orange on any modern car would look horrendous. |

They already make the best color, Summit White and IOM! Although I'm going to change the IOM lol.

Plenty of "modern" cars come in a similar shade of Hugger Orange. SRT-8 Challenger, Porsche GT-3, and some others. If IOM looks good on a Camaro, then surely Hugger Orange will also look good - probably better. It can be a slight metallic, like the SRT8, but it just needs to be the right shade of orange. The current orange is too dark and red toned.

At the Chicago GTG, I talked about peoples' wants and needs. The problem is that each person feels slightly different........and so someone says "Well - you could give us that feature and it would only cost about 100 bux!...." And that's true - but it may be a feature that 70% of the buyers do not want - some of those 70% want THIS feature or THAT feature - and pretty soon, that $24,000 Camaro costs $27000......... So - it's always a tough call to determine what gets put in a program and what does not..............

I recall asking for the SS emblem on the centercaps of the 4th gen car - ............................and when I regained consciousness.....I realized I'd learned a lesson........ I watched in trepidation when someone asked for the SS emblem in the grille of the new car............ ......that person is now well enough to sit up and take nourishment on his own...............

I have nothing but positive comments on the font and color of the ZL1's emblem though I wonder if there's a reason that the "1" is red on ZL1, and blue on ZR1... I think, because I'm a blue-person, I'd prefer a blue "1", but I think the red pops a little more. I'm not sure ZL1 necessarily needs more pop than it already has, but I like how it grabs the eye.
