Why is Aqua Blue Metallics least liked???? - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

EllwynX · 07-21-2009, 06:10 PM

Aqua Blue Metallic is the best looking blue I've ever seen on a vehicle myself. When I first saw it at the Philly Auto Show the thought crossed my mind to switch to it for just a moment. But in the end, I think I'd regret not getting Silver since it and White are my favorite colors on a car.

Some people go with what they like... rather than just trying to be different.

saw one the other day on a lot sitting right next to a cgm. I went right to the cgm and she went right for the abm. I kid you not first thing she said was this color is perfect for a woman. I like the color, but its gonna be cgm or iom for me.

Aqua Blue rocks!

I haven't seen any of the 10 colors that I didn't really like if matched up with the right factory/dealer stripes and rims. I do like the IBM.

If I had seen ABM when they came out, I would have ordered one instead of buying a truck and waiting 4 years to buy the ABM my parents ordered.

That was and is my favorite color. Don't know why they only did it for 1 year?

It’s a great color, but nothing comes close to the evilness of a black Camaro with dark windows.

Rainbow1616 · 02-19-2018, 08:07 PM

I don't think its least favorite at all. I like all the colors with the exception of white. I think that color blue is a great color

I think it was a matter of exposure. I love this color, and to this day I wished that I could've had a Camaro in Medium Blue Metallic.

The 6th generation is doing better I believe with their version of Medium Blue.

I think it had a lot to do with the online paint swatch. It was just plain ugly. Had the online color better represented what the actual color was I think the demand would have been completely different. By the time ABM Camaros began to hit dealerships and roads GM was already killing it. Too bad, but it all adds to the collectability of mine!

Hello 2009...

I would literally buy someone’s ABM off them right now. I love that color. And it’s so hard to find now
