Now that we put the IBM rumor to rest.........what color(s) will they drop to make room for the new green?

Sounds pretty obvious as to which color is getting discontinued, makes me that much happier that I'm ordering ABM.

Well....there you have it. Most people should be able to read between the lines.

I'm sure nothing is official until it's official but the source has spoken!

Congrats to those that have or have ordered an ABM. Especially if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.

I initially thought that ABM w/White Stripes was the color for me but after seeing it in person I realized it's not the right color for me. It's a great color....I'm not knocking it at all.....just not the right one for me. That's to bad since it's possible

that it could become an extinct color but I'm going to get what makes me happy now...not what might become in the future.

I wish a medium blue like what came on the Corvettes a few years back was available. Hmmm....who knows maybe in a few years they will. Guess I'll have to trade in and get all the upgrades at the time if that happens. I can't wait around....I would love to have the car now.

BTW: I think any of the available colors look good on this car. When I was at the State Fair this weekend I think I changed my color 3 or 4 times.....VR, no IOM, no SIM, no CGM, no IBM....DAMN....I just can't make up my mind. VR is what's still on order though.

mrcowboy · 10-12-2009, 07:53 PM

Boo I would have gotten one if I knew it would be discontinue...oh well.

chevydude26 · 10-12-2009, 08:35 PM

i'm pissed that they are getting rid of aqm but keeping imperial.....the vert didn't even come out yet...is it really that expensive to keep it as an option...seriously...

how long would it take if i placed an order now? I don't mind waiting...

screw green...it shouldn't be an option if they are dropping abm...at least wait till i can order the vert gm....

YES please cancel ABM!!!

I know exactly why it wasn't preordered at all. Because of this picture which makes the color look awful.

Compared to this:

Ouch that's absolutely brutal. Not even close.

geminidreams · 10-12-2009, 10:28 PM

Yes Im glad I ordered the ABM now if I can just get the car shipped to me I would be so freaken happy..

MDHinDenver · 10-13-2009, 11:13 AM

I am one who has an ABM and I have to tell you that I definitely made the right choice. This is one stand out color! Sure ... every new Camaro on the road gets stares but I think this color makes mine stand out even more. Granted ... I never would had ordered the color if I did not already have a '68 Grotto Blue Camaro RS (also a 1 year GM color). I almost called the dealer twice to change my color choice but so glad I did not. I never saw it in person until my car arrived and when I did see it ... I was ecstatic with my choice! I have been tracking production and realize that ABM is so far the least ordered color. I am torn about how I feel if its discontinued. Since my '68 is a 1 year color, I guess it makes sense that my '10 should be as well. But I think GM should think twice ... Its the most striking color available!! I have mine so overall I guess ... no worries!!
