Maybe it's not. Maybe They ran out of other blue and had a ton of this blue left from not making the sky and it's sister car.

Especially since the low sales of abm is GM's own freaking fault.

Its teh color of my Caddy, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

I agree. My CTS was Diamond white and the color was sweet lots of pearl really sharp.

I thought Olympic white and Summit white were the same color. Just different name for different product lines.

I have a summit white pickup. She is WHITE. I too would find it hard to believe there is more white in the new color.

I don't like the diamond white. It has too much cream color in it. Yuck.

As far as the blue, I don't like ABM. Too much Teal.... I like the G8 Stryker Blue though.

mbrusco103 · 11-16-2009, 11:07 PM

i dont think these are the best colors to be adding
we already have Summit white that is similar to oylimpic white
we also have a Aqua blue that is similar to hydro blue

what we need are some new colors that are different.. like synergy green

So those of us who want a medium/lighter blue and missed the ABM cut-off have to wait til next fall for Hydro? (like those of us in the northern climes that would like to order/take delievery in the spring) I don't understand why they can't keep ABM in production until the 11's and Hydro roll out, or start offering Hydro now (preferably)

I beg to differ. I had an ABM 78' Camaro, and loved that color-especially because it was so rare back then...But part of my conflict with ordering one again, and why I strongly considered VR for a change, is that when it comes to blue cars , ABM has proliferated the marketplace over the last 20 years. And the same basic aqua blue can be found on Fords and Chryslers as well. Its like the Big 3 became so enamoured with ABM, along with IBM, they forgot about other shades of blue....This Hydro is sort of a throwback color that is a welcome and refreshing change!

That blue looks a lot like Jetstream Blue that is on the corvette.

Lemans Blue is much darker,I have it on my 06 Vette. Looks more like Jet Stream Blue Metallic on 09 Vette.
