I have given up on camaro and Blue. Can not wait to see hellcat in B5 blue. At least doge is offering a great blue color. GM reminds me of Henry Ford " you can have any color you like as long as it is black"

Love my ABM, looks amazing even in the parking lot at night under some lights.
Had a salesman at a CHEVY dealership ask me if it was a custom paint job....

10?! Don't fib. Much more than that and that's OK. I can't trade my 1LE. I love it, Red Hot and all. But, I believe when it comes time to replace my daily driver it will come down to a new Colorado or a V6 manual sixth gen, or dare I say a turbo4 sixth gen? Having it in a nice blue would be awesome as I usually keep my vehicles for a long time. There are many acceptable shades of blue that they can use. Most bright blues would work (ABM, Kinetic Blue, Laguna Blue) but I would even accept a darker shade like the Electron Blue on the C5 Vette. What I don't want to see is another IBM (my favorite of the dark fifth gen blues) or another BRM (my least favorite but certainly not an ugly color) or whatever nonsense this new color is. They are all too dark in my opinion. We don't just need a great blue for the sixth gen we need one to show itself and sell successfully.

They should it is a great color and I have no regrets.If they made blue like in the Photoshop it would have been a hard choice, but I am sure I would have chosen the IOM. I had the same dilemma when I purchased the Z06 8 years ago, blue was one choice.

Sellin Chevy's since '06

It sure does, but in every other light it looks black. I've had people tell me, this whole time I thought your car was black...until it was a bright day outside.

The downside to the really dark blues is that you don't get the advantage of it looking amazing like a black car when the paint is perfect....and you get the downside of it looking blah when it's dirty and
getting dirty quickly like black. BRM looks like an overripe blueberry unless the sun is out, but it still has that dark purple tinge to it. |

LOL...Yeah I better not starting keeping a list, it might be a lot more ! I know what you mean about Red Hot too.....If we end up getting a 15 I'm between Red Rock Metallic and Red Hot.....those colors look terrific on the Camaro ! The Colorado is going to be real interesting, I want to go check out one of those when they come out for sure.....I think a Extended Cab Z-71 in Black would look sharp ! (They do have a Laser Blue too, though) This deal reminds me (long story)....of a guy I used to deal with back in the 90's when I was ordering a lot of cars....I was ordering a 96 Trans Am and I wanted the Red Leather (Red Car/White Convertible top)....and he told me not to order it....said his district manager told him not to order any that it didn't look very good.....If lots of the order folks get told things like that (and I bet they do).....it's no wonder certain colors and interiors never sell...they never order any for the lots...so people don't see them and don't even know they are available. I ended up getting a WHITE leather interior which was fantastic and I loved it, but sometimes I kinda think I should have gotten the red anyway.

I don't know if it's the same Laser Blue...but they had this Laser Blue on several cars back in the mid 2000's.....nice ! You're right about the Stingray too, love all the interior color choices.....really makes it unique ! Good thing is we don't really have long to wait on that 6th Gen either ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
