I fixed that for you ^^^

Actually Jenni.Bee you are the first dealer here to say Cyber Gray was coming back and I don't think you're right because it's still currently on constraint due to the shortage of xirallic from the Japanese tsunami.

By looking at the current 2012 order/reference guide, there are only 6 colors so far for the 2012s, 7 if you include CFM for the 45th editions. Link... http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/NASApp/dom...butID=3&page=9

And here is the article stating Cyber Gray and Crystal Red were put on constraint for the vettes almost 2 weeks before the constraint for the Camaros.... http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2011/...2011-corvette/

Even our own fbodfather (Scott Settlemire) hasn't given us an answer as to what colors are going to be available for the 2012s. When asked about replacing the xirallic with mica in the paint mix Scott said....

More to come!
There are several threads trying to figure out what is going on with the paint issues http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...17#post3380217 and all we have gotten so far is "more to come" from fbodfather.

It's frustrating to say the least.
