I think Nov 10th is the cut off and out of the ordering bench.

I'm not sad to hear the news- I'm happy- makes ABM even more special!! I love my ABM- if you're debating order it now- you will love the color both during the day and at night.

That is cool, 100,000s of Camaros to be made and only around 2000 will be ABM!!

Yeah baby!! Excellent news. Now maybe I shouldn't get stripes on it. It will be rare already.

Oh yeah- the GM website depiction for ABM is WAY OFF. You have to see the color in person if you are up in the air.

DerbyChamp06 · 10-22-2009, 11:28 PM

Very sad news to see ABM going bye bye. I was hoping to buy next spring either VR or ABM, but as the old saying goes "You don't know what you've got til its gone", I now want ABM more than ever.

I dont know what stripes you are thinking about getting but I have the silver rally stripes on my ABM and i get A LOT of positive comments about them. It helps bring contrast to the cars color IMO

If the Hydro Blue is the same paint as on the Pontiac Solstice lineup, then say goodbye to the metallic flake (and any semblance of a green hue). I think some people will really like this however it loses the seemingly countless shades of blue that Aqua Blue Metallic provides.

My Camaro is the only car I've ever seen that looks AMAZING in sunlight AND artificial light. The Hydro Blue in comparison looks really flat and plastic-y.

In direct lighting, while not giving off that rich array of shimmery metallic-ness - the Hydro Blue looks much more sky / baby blue. If people were making the argument that Aqua Blue Metallic is too "girly" then that opinion is going to be said even more often with Hydro Blue:

Ew ew ew.

geminidreams · 10-23-2009, 08:15 AM

I for one am glad I picked ABM.. Not that I have seen my baby in person yet but hoping that it gets transported today to the dealer. I have alerted my salesman that as soon as it gets there I want to come see it. I know it won't be ready for me till next week and guess what its predicted to rain / snow for the next three days. So with that said Im not in a huge hurry to drive it home until the weather gets better.

My friend and I drove to the rail yard to see if we could spot it out there but all the cars are way out in BFE so yah couldnt see it.

lcmc · 10-23-2009, 08:24 AM

Does anyone out there have ABM with beige interior? I think that would look very sharp!

91RS · 10-23-2009, 09:36 AM

Hydro blue looks almost lavender. Why in the world did they change it? I do like Hydro blue but I need to see it on the Camaro. Can anyone do a photoshop of it? Why drop one rare shade of blue for just another rare shade of blue?

WildClay · 10-23-2009, 10:02 AM

I am sure glad I got ABM, I am glad I got my car before they killed the color. My last few cars have been silver/gray and this time I wanted some color, the ABM blue was/is perfect.

If the pics posted are really like the new hydro Blue I do not think that is bad either, but will keep the blue I have...

chevydude26 · 10-23-2009, 11:22 AM

boy do i have a tough choice...i'm not looking forward to adding a 600 dollar payment a month until the vert is out...mainly because i'm starting a business and want to keep my costs on everything as low as possible ...

my question is if nov 10 is cut off...how long does it take for the car to get to the dealership...i know i can cancel if i change my mind down the road but if it takes till next summer i may be in a better position and commit to the car...

however i am leaning towards the vert but i really like this color....patience probably seems best and worse comes to worst i can probably get my car custom painted to match abm and i can do that to the vert i want right?

who knows i may like hydro blue as well

so for me when the vert is out its iom,black, or one of the blues....and i'm certain i can get it custom painted because body shops have to be able to recreate paint for crashed abm...
