Just because a lot of enthusiasts who joined this website like it doesn't make it most popular.
IBM and ABM are the two lowest selling colors. But there are a lot of IBM and ABM owners on here who absolutely love the color. In fact there's another poll thread around here between IBM and Black in which IBM is winning. However black is one of the top selling colors.
Any intelligent company would decide based on sales figures, not emotions.

Well, if memory serves correct, ABM sold just marginally less than IBM, and both colors sold marginally less than about 3-4 others. Black, VR and a couple others make up the other end of the popularity spectrum. The sad thing is that unlike ALL the other colors, ABM was not given a full model year run. And the decision to cancel came when many ABM's were just hitting the streets. Who is to say that ABM wouldn't gain popularity as people started seeing them? Historically, Chevy has offered a medium or lighter blue Camaro. Why? Because there's demand for it. To cancel ABM was to disenfranchise a significant group of people/potential buyers. No reason GM couldn't continue to produce, while still offering Synergy on a limited run to first test popularity, before mass producing.
