Whenever I would check dealers inventories, there were always yellow or black or red on the lots. Very very rarely would there be any IBM of any trim. If I had a bakery and always had apple, peach, and raspberry at the counter but never any cherry, my hunch is I would selll a lot more apple, peach, and raspberry than I would cherry!

So because the Camaro is built with boring, conservative sedans and SUV's its going to get boring and conservative paint choices? Well that sucks.
Can they move production to Bowling Green with the Vette?

LAWMAN · 12-14-2011, 01:04 PM

It needs to be replaced with "jetstream blue" like on the vette,if the camaro came in that blue way back when i ordered mine,that blue is the color i would be driving now,

I always told myself that if I ever get a sports car, it is going to be in Imperial Blue with White Pace Car Stripes!!! I am glad I finally got mine and in Metallic!!! I Love my Midnight!!!

The pics of the IBM ZL1 were hott and if I every bought one it would have been that color. I guess we have to see what ashen gray and black look like with black rims.

Same here. I got it in July and there was only 1 within 400 miles of me. Next closest one was in Georgia. It took me weeks to find it.

Admiral Blue, please

Perhaps we should be on the lookout for the "Bay City Rollers Special Edition"...

First they killed Aqua, which was awesome. THEN they killed Synergy Green, which I HAVE, now they kill the dark blue which is my next favorite.

Waz the deal? ? ? next will be... No more SS...

Cezr12 · 12-14-2011, 01:51 PM

man ur IBM lokks great

BowtieBelle · 12-14-2011, 01:55 PM

How can anyone hate on a color like this?!

I agree that I never saw them on the lots. If more people had seen them more people would have bought them. I've been told countless times that "I've never seen that color of Camaro before!"

TaylorRyanSS · 12-14-2011, 02:41 PM

Not a big fan of the color, its too dark IMO. I really wanna see Stryker Blue like on the G8! And for an IBM replacement blue I think Xenon Blue would look good like on the SRX. Still a Deep blue but much lighter than IBM.
