If your ABM Camaro looks breen then please get your eyes checked. Never seen the HHR, but seen several ABM Camaros and saw no green.

Eduk8r · 10-25-2009, 09:16 PM

hell maybe I need my eyes checked if people are seeing green and teal.

I agree, this color has it's own personality based on the vehicle you see the color on. It is really odd how different it looks on a HHR vs a Camaro. It won't matter now since ABM will be axed, but I cannot remember a color ever having such differing looks and contrasting opinions! Hell, the ABM Camaro thread was the largest one on color on this site! That says it all right there.

Ive seen ABM in person on the Camaro on March 16th and was Blown Away! I never thought that colour would look that Great!
Everyone i know loves ABM!
I would change back to ABM or atleast try to locate a member near you with ABM, it is truly a GORGEOUS colour!

THE ABM ROCKS!!!...it is truly amazing in person, and like the RJT I have, it looks different in every type of light...it's like a chameleon...gets brighter in the sun, and darker in the shade...

You should get it, you will NOT be disappointed, however, the IBM is a good choice too...

ABM is a unique color.

You should try to see it in person.

Here's an interesting thought. What if ABM is not really ABM? Is it possible that Chevy actually added more blue to the color later in production in order to make it more appealing?

My dealer is set to get in an ABM early this week. I guess I'll have him hold off the change until I see it. Of course he said that he might just leave my first order as is, and order another one in IBM. If he did that I could take a look at the ABM when it comes in. If I like it, done deal. If not, the IBM will only be about a week or two behind.

So many choices. What to do?

But yes I will have a camaro regardless.

definitely go down there and take a look at it when they get that one in. i just did that and made my order.

IBM is very black looking in person...too much so for me. i would've loved that blue and ordered it in a second if it was more blue than black looking. like the C6 vette...more navy blue.

The color change is what's so exciting about ABM, along with the attention it draws, But, there are other colors to select. Besides the less ABM's sold, makes mine limited. Didn't think I would, but, I love this color

Bo Yo · 10-27-2009, 09:48 PM

So the verdict is in. I finally saw a camaro in ABM. I am now confident I made the right choice in switching to IBM. I just saw too much teal.

I finally went to a dealer to see it in person today. I was thinking about switching to it because I loved the pictures I saw here on the forum. I'm glad I went. To each their own, but I think this car is a little to unique. The color changes too much for me. I got more of a teal/green color (though I did go in the mid evening). I know that people have said that it is a lovely blue in the right sun light, but I want a car who is going to have an amazing color 100% of the time, and the teal/green color wasn't doing it for me

So for anyone thinking about getting/ordering this color before cutoff, I would highly recommend seeing it in person first. The pictures are very diverse and it is safe to say it looks like all of them depending on the angle and lighting.

This post had me concerned about getting the ABM. I went to a dealer today that had one sitting on the lot and the color looks great. Hopefully I will get my order in tomorrow.

I have ABM , and I Love It ! Sun , clouds or rain I have never seen any green in it .

Camaroman_99 · 10-28-2009, 06:30 AM

I have seen the ABM in person.............Wow! I love it! Was my color of choice:(

Blazernut · 10-28-2009, 08:10 AM

We wanted ABM but the color chip in the brochure looked more green. We opted to go with the IBM. A couple weeks later, I saw a ABM at another dealership and was sick because that was the color we really wanted. Called my dealer and changed to ABM.. BOY are we glad.... Here she is when we got her last week...

DC-SS · 10-28-2009, 08:32 AM

I like both blues!!! Heck I like the Camaro in all of the colors!!!
