Thanks for chiming in Dragon. I was getting worried that maybe this was just some of us overreacting to a perceived slight, but it is comforting to know that a very active mod who doesn't even personally want blue anyway thinks this is a bad move.

So really, how do you all propose we get GM to hear this? I mean, I could talk about how upset this lack of blue options is to me all day (and I like HeavyT100's idea about a blue and a red for each of the engine choices), but I'd really like to get GM to take notice and realize what they are doing to the true Camaro fans and what they may be losing in this choice. I'd like to think they're reading all of our comments and taking them under very serious consideration, but how do I know?

Heck, if I really had to, I'd even be willing to pay a few hundred dollars premium just to get my SS in Imperial Blue, despite the fact that it's offered on the V6 at no additional charge... That's how much I want this color (but I'm not paying another few THOUSAND dollars for it, that's just craziness )!!

On our US Flag, blue represents vigilence, perseverance and justice. If all the blue lovers unite maybe you can get justice from GM. I don't understand this either. They must have what "they" think is a good reason. I'm curious what that reason could be.

I agree. In fact it is one of the premiere colors when it comes to pony/muscle cars. Aside from the Penske cars, the blue with white stripe early Mustangs come to mind as well as the white with blue stripe Mustangs.

I distinctly remember all the blue Chrysler Hemi cars (GTX, Road Runner, Barracuda, Super Bee's and Chargers) all coming with a Lemans Blue type color.

Another thing that annoys me is that they make the ambient lighting BLUE and then don't have a body color that matches the amvient lighting... hello? That makes not a whole lot of sense to me.

And why exactly is this some big "secret"? They're clamping down on his harder than the Obama people are on his relationship with Ayers and Reverend Wright!

That way you could get red or blue, no matter which Camaro you ordered.
Because it's GM, and they always have to make things more complicated then they really are.

So true. The silence on their part is deafening.

They're clamping down harder than a guy in a bus after an East Indian dinner!

i do think some green should be offered for the ss, and definitely the blue, but honestly, the aqua blue has never been a very attractive color to me. i'm kinda glad they put the ss above that.

I agree with ya about the aqua blue , but it isn't about us, it's about our brothers and sisters who just got their hearts broken...

Well, they made it easy to decide to wait for a year or 2 before getting one, as Imperial Blue on the SS is the only acceptable color for me.

I think they would be wise to ditch Red Jewel tintcoat and Aqua Blue in their entirety...they both just seem to be "lesser" colors....I think they seem kind of like something applied at a Maaco body shop to a Cavalier owned by a 19 yr old than belonging on a 400+ HP muscle car.

What would be wrong with a nice Polo Green or Racing Green, and beautiful Imperial Blue

GM will be reading this thread. While I don't 'know', it would be extremely stupid of them to not offer blue on the SS and then to not look for the reaction by the enthusiasts.

I can't figure that one out either.

Actually I did PM him about it a few days ago concerning the salesperson ordering guide, before this consumer guide was released, and he hasn't responded yet.
