Beating a dead horse III Gm needs 20k orders for blue! - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I gotta believe number of cars sold in a color have nothing at all to do with the decision of what colors to produce. Look at the crappy line up of color's on the 2012 Corvette; no Black, it's most popular color; carlisle blue,stolen from the Cruze? what crap. I really don't know how GM select's it's color, but they better find a different way of doing it or they will lose ton's of business. Be careful, this may come over to Camaro!!!

Anything can change though. Maybe these COLORful threads will change at least something...

I don't know why you're focusing on just the ZL1. I'd like a better brighter color all around...

Those numbers don't add up, they built about 110,000 Camaros and ABM was about 3.5% (4,000 units or less) IBM @ 6.22% and SW @ 7.79% per the last charts I saw near the end of the model year.

ow. Who on here is willing to BUY a BLUE Camaro?
We need a show of hands here.

As Long as I can swing it financially, I would definitely commit. When I begrudgingly opted for the Challenger SE over the Camaro, knew I liked most things better about the Camaro. But one of the few consolations was getting the color I really wanted. Future plan is to trade in for Victory Red Camaro, but a Stryker Blue/ABM Maro would be a big plus!!!

1BADZL1 · 08-21-2011, 01:31 AM

If anyone has seen it in person STRYKER BLUE METALLIC looks as good or better than ABM.
In fact, I am saving STRYKER BLUE METALLIC for my future 1968 RS Convertible project.
Can you say 1st gen camaro # 9? But my first convertible in a first gen.
LOL!
