I heard IBM is being discontinued - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

IIRC Aqua Blue sells less than IBM, and I believe IBM is available on other vehicles as well, meaning it's not that hard for them to just use that paint on the Camaro. I could very easily be wrong on this, but I can't think of another GM model that uses Aqua Blue.

That sound fine with me. I have a ABM Camaro already and so far I only know of about 3 of them in the entire Dallas area.

abm is a pretty cool color... not a fan of ibm

or any dark "colored" car for that matter, besides blacks and greys

HHR off the top of my head. i think there might be a couple others

Jekyll-N-Hyde · 10-09-2009, 05:35 AM

I asked at the begining of production if there was a certain color that I wanted how could I be sure it would be there if I were to wait until year 2 to place my order ?

Settlemire replied with...... " No color is promised to reutrn to the pallet year after year however with the sucess of a color being ordered thats how we make our decision.
At the END of year one the color at the bottom of the Pallet ( meaning the color least ordered ) will be dropped and possibly a New one will be added to keep ordering a fresh expierence.

imo I would think that would be white but I could be wrong.

joepitt · 10-09-2009, 06:03 AM

I agree they should complete any orders for the color that came in before they discontinue ANY color. That said, I've had lots of blue cars, however I'm not a fan of either color. IBM is too dark for me and ABM too light.

swaugie · 10-09-2009, 06:44 AM

abm is available on colorado and impala as well. ibm is used on hhr, cobalt, malibu, impala, silverado, and traverse just off the top of my head.

caverman · 10-09-2009, 09:27 AM

ABM is on Corvette as well...

The rumor I heard is that ABM is going to be replaced with whatever shade of Green and will probably happen sometime next month.

These are all rumors though. Who knows what will actually happen. It does seem like it would be either ABM or IBM because of their low numbers. You can't count White into the equation yet because it just came out.

Personally I wish they would bring in Medium colored blue. There was a blue similar to the '69 Lemans Blue for the Corvette 2 or 3 yrs ago. Would love that color but I know that's not happening....at least not for now.

O2BQIK · 10-09-2009, 09:38 AM

ABM is not on the Corvette, that's Jetstream Blue. But I agree w/ caverman that I'd like to see a more medium blue for the Camaro. Not that I don't like ABM and IBM, but they're both kind of love-it-or-hate-it colors.

SamsinSS · 10-09-2009, 09:53 AM

IBM!!!!!!!!!!!

About to be 4!

If they dropped IBM do a nationwide search, theres probably many on a dealer lot somewhere.
