In the sun I loved the color....when the clouds rolled through....it was too teal for my liking.

That's why ABM is one of those colors you have to see in person. I just knew it was going to be the color for me based on all the pics and videos I had seen. That was until I went to look at it in person. It just happened to be a partly cloudy day and I got to see it in both sunlight and overcast. As soon as I saw the teal it dropped off my want list.

I had even known about how the color was to be discontinued and that it would eventually be a rare color. Didn't matter...I couldn't get past the teal color.

Thats just my opinion.
This is exactly my conclusion. When I went to the dealer to start the process of getting my car, I pointed to the ABM they had and said, I want to drive that one. It was afternoon timeframe, and as I came back, talked with the salesguy, went and drove a SW stick car, the evening came on and I started noticing the teal coming out in the ABM. I just couldn't get over it. I know everyone sees color different, but the reason ABM failed in my opinion was the green aspect. Really, the Camaro deserves a lighter blue in addition to IBM in the family. Just leave the green out please.
