Late. But the $1,000 question should be why is chevrolet re naming
Crystal red tint to claret red if they are one and the same?

Good question, it does not make sense. Anna from Sparta Chevrolet was correct with the new colors being Crystal Claret and Ashen Gray. Your color palette from this morning shows Camaro as being Crystal Red. The manufactures paint codes show Crystal Red for Camaros and Crystal Claret for the Chevrolet lineup except Corvette which stays Crystal Red. At least they are the same color code even if they do not have the same name. Did your dealer have a 'known' time frame for the Crystal Red Camaro/ZL1 availability or just a guess?

Is that carbon flash met. the same color on the new chevy cruz??

[toilets]

If im not mistaken the Zl1 number #69 (the one Rick Hendrick got) was going to be the only Zl1 in Carbon Flash...

I concur........ the first RJT looked burgundyish.. and I did not like it. The RJT as seen on some Caddies is right. If burgundyish.... not for this garage.

I think this list came out before the official news about Ashen Gray (and the name change to Red Claret). I have faith that Ashen Gray will be available and before the the beginning of production of the ZL1. It's supposed to be available to order in a few weeks, so I don't see why it won't be available for the ZL1

The IBM with black 10 spokes is my pick.

.That is a nasty looking combination isn't it?....heh-heh...

Caveat. The brochure clearly says "interim availabilty" for IBM. So, if we are in on the first round of orders when WB opens, a car ordered in IBM will be delayed in production for months? Can someone enlighten us how long this delay will be? I want IBM, and am ordering on the 29th. Do I have to wait until summer instead of spring for delivery?

Now in this first picture the Crystal Red looks BurgundyISH....... Not as good as the pic in the sunlight.... It may be the only way to get the RED all the time look is to get Victory Red?????

CAN Silver Ice Metallic
GAP imperial Blue Metallic
GAR Carbon Flash Metallic
GAZ Summit White
GBA Black
GBE Crystal Red Tintcoat
GCN Victory Red
GCO Rally Yellow
GCR Inferno Orange Metallic

All as per my prediction as well.

The new cgm replacement ashen gray is a 2013 color
Same goes for claret red.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news for those wanting the later.
You will have to wait for march/april when 2013 starts production

Your prediction is wrong....Ashen Gray Metallic (RPO: GJL) is available for order Oct 20, 2011...

From fbodfather...

Ashen Gray (RPO: GLJ) – replacement for Cyber Gray – available for ordering on Oct 20
–Production of this new color starts in early November
–Expect initial limited quantities for first few weeks of order processing due to startup

My order is ready to go in on Oct 20th

OFFICIAL Gray and Red for 2012 Camaro is... ( 1 2 3)

Then it was posted that the Crystal Red Tintcoat (2011) was renamed on Camaro (2012) as being Crystal Red Claret. See this thread:
