Need a new BLUE fix

.

The particular addiction I have to the IBM ZL1 is causing me some angst.

I have a need for new pictures of the IBM ZL1.

I'm sure the rest of you guys lusting after your fav colors feel the same.

Our 'father which art in GM, hear our pleas ! (please)

Tell someone to send us a digital care package of pics in colors other than the Victory Red & Ashen Gray.

(Especially BLUE)

What was the official word on IBM? Is it not offered period or just not going to be a color that is avaliable for early production?

Definitely available, possibly not available at the beginning of production - but we don't know yet. I do recall 'father saying that Ashen will likely be ready in sufficient quantities when production begins. I expect Imp Blue and Crystal Red will be as well, but we'll have to wait & see.

Basically, you'll get the color you order, it just might take an extra month or two. I'm totally not going to worry about it.

APB on IBM !

.

OK, somebody that knows what's going on, please fill us in. What is going on with IMPERIAL BLUE ?

Is it pulled from the production lineup or only a temporary hold?

What is causing the change?

I'm really hoping that it's just a temp constraint, which I'd say it likely is. IBM is my second favorite color and it would be a real shame if it got the axe for those that ordered it that way.

Hold tight Scarrzz and others, hopefully just a bump in the road.

Deciding on color was the hardest part of ordering a ZL1 for me. But now that I'm being told I can't have Imperial Blue I don't want any of the other colors!

I sure hope that this is a glitch or some kind of mistake. I will drop my order and wait, if that color is not available.

I say all that want this color start calling Monday morning 1-800-950-CHEV or 1-800-222-102. To voice our opinion. I am sure that if you are nice and talk with them we could make a difference.
I purchased a 10' 2 SS for my wife it was White. A few months later Chevrolet released the Synergy Green on the V6. I called and got to talk with some people who listened and cared and the color became available only because they received so much feed back from consumers.

Please lets take a few moments to call and share are concerns!

Guys, PLEASE no jumping to conclusions. Just because one email FROM A DEALER says no IBM doesn't mean GM has said no IBM.

It is almost certainly just a holdup, not a cancellation, and if by some chance it IS a cancellation of IBM, there will VERY likely be a replacement for it in a very similar color.

It will be OK.

Continue to have faith.

You'll see.
