Exactly how I feel...

I was going to order mine next week :(

Not sure which color to pick, maybe red?

TripleB · 10-21-2009, 08:54 AM

That's my problem too...I love the blue, but when it's not in the sunlight it might be too much turquiose for me.

[QUOTE=Sevn86;1069872 I think they should cut IBM that color is just too dark and looks like black at night anyways...

Why are you hating on IBM....having seen both on the Camaro the choice was clear for me. ABM looks great under the right lighting conditions, but looks like it belongs on the Aveo when light is not optimum....Clouds and night make it look poor in my opinion.

I have mixed emotions. On one hand, it was obviously my first choice since that's what I bought. I absolutely love this color so I hate to see it go. On the other hand, I kind of like the fact that mine will me much more unique as more and more other colors hit the street.

People, please understand that the color palette will have to rotate to stay "current" and compete with other brands. The Camaro initially had the ABM, IOM and Rally Yellow as "fashion" colors. These should be expected to change and rotate over time just as colors did with the Gen1 Camaros and various Chrysler products. At one time, even Audi had a designated group of "fashion colors" that had limited production and availability.

There will be changes to the Camaro color palette to maintain interest in the product and to generate sales to a broader spectrum of customers. My car is Summit White and I've seen the next special color coming for the Camaro. It will be striking, unique and different...and I WANT A CAMARO PAINTED IN THIS NEW COLOR~!!!!

Just wait, there will be good things coming. It is like buying a computer. You get what you like and can afford today and never look back because tomorrow will be completely different.

I am one who has an ABM and I have to tell you that I definitely made the right choice. This is one stand out color! Sure ... every new Camaro on the road gets stares but I think this color makes mine stand out even more. Granted ... I never would had ordered the color if I did not already have a '68 Grotto Blue Camaro RS (also a 1 year GM color). I almost called the dealer twice to change my color choice but so glad I did not. I never saw it in person until my car arrived and when I did see it ... I was ecstatic with my choice! I have been tracking production and realize that ABM is so far the least ordered color (besides white but white was just introduced). I am torn about how I feel if its discontinued. Since my '68 is a 1 year color, I guess it makes sense that my '10 should be as well. But I think GM should think twice ... Its the most striking color available!! I have mine so overall I guess ... no worries!!

Blazernut · 10-21-2009, 11:25 AM

Picked up our ABM 2SS yesterday and LOVE the color. We went the opposite way of some others. We had a IBM ordered and changed to ABM. VERY PLEASED with the outcome....

TripleB · 10-21-2009, 12:00 PM

What family does this new color belong to? If it's another blue color I'll have to wait to see what it is.
