I'm leaning more towards the 'maybe I'm nuts'

, it was blue with little trace of green when I saw it. Different lighting might make the green show up a bit better but it won't be prominent.

I think the underlying character of the car is at work here. The HHR is not the most masculine looking vehicle out there, and the Camaro is one of the least feminine.

One thing to consider, even if ABM is 'girly' that only means that the ladies will like your car even more ... as one GM rep was quoted in a review "[the Camaro] increases opportunity

"

I originally was going to go with ABM but switched after I saw IBM in person. There is nothing wrong with Aqua but it's also a bit bright for my liking. No doubt it will look good on the maro

I get the girly thing all the time from other Sky owners about the color Bluestone on my wife's Saturn Sky Redline. I tell them when I drive the car it gets the attention of all the girls, so I have no complaints.

I don't think it's too girly.

I think it's too 90's.

The last time we saw these colors were 1996 on a Beretta GT.

at 105 MPH.......this flying past you (on the race course, of course!).....I think not.

Maybe the young Mary Kay ladies would want a pink Camaro instead of a pink Cadillac.

I'm pretty sure that pink is on permanent, double secret constraint.

My personal taste is that it's too bright, and I've always just liked a darker blue, so I got IBM. But I would NEVER label it "girly". I had a 4th gen Mystic Teal Metallic Camaro, which was a bit darker than ABM but same effect, and a lot of different people loved that color.

I really wanted a blue Camaro with white stripes, but I had the same feelings about ABM.
Its too bright (almost neon looking) and the IBM is too dark. A blue somewhere in the middle would be perfect.

By the way, I also had a teal Camaro and a lot of people (usually girls) really liked that color.

Girls have good taste, that's why. My mom drives a 35th Anniversary SS, and men are constantly talking to her. If you want to attract men, get a red car.

And here's an old photoshopped pic I always liked. If I was more ballsy I'd want one in this color, but I think my balls can only take so much kicking, and I'll wait for purple or Jetstream Blue.

Vash · 03-23-2009, 11:36 PM

Blue is not girly.

Silly,...

CamaroFan1 · 03-24-2009, 01:52 AM

Aqua isn't that bad.

Just make sure to use RPO code RBS when you order the car so it comes with your rainbow sticker pre-installed.

I also have a suggestion for your license plate.....

Not that there's anything wrong with that.......
