ABM is tons better looking than the Hydro Blue. I think the hydro will be too bright for the Camaro, almost like the Nitrous Blue on the the Cobalts & G5's.

Picked up our Camaro Saturday. All the salesmen love it and amazed that GM is doing away with this color. Looking at my 1st Camaro brochure I can see why, the ABM color chip looks terrible, it isnt blue at all. And they are replacing this color with some kind of green. Maybe thats why they didnt get that many orders for this color. It is the best looking color I have seen. I think I have seen all available colors in person now. Also, lucked out by them slowing production on the SS, or our order wouldnt have been moved up. By the time ours would have been picked up for production ABM wouldnt have been an option. Thanks Randy Hill at Martens in Leavenworth KS for 20+ years of car buying experience!!!
And thanks Bob, I love this car

[QUOTE=BassGeek;1085110]I definitely like the ABM better. But then that's what color my new car is! Someone was looking for photos of ABM with gray interior, so I've included some here. Damn, I love this car! Many thanks to everyone in this thread that helped me pick ABM. The first time I actually saw it in person was when I picked her up. I'm thrilled!QUOTE]

My first time to see it was at delivery as well. I had seen all the other colors in person but this one. Just had a feeling it was going to look special.

We brought her home Monday night, but had to wait for the first sunny day to clean her up and take the first pics. We love this car, and I am so very glad we ordered before they stopped making this color.

This is the BEST color, and it's cool it will be one of a few.

Grats on your new baby.

kellyjrt · 10-25-2009, 08:22 PM

Thanks! Are you still waiting?

I ordered my ABM back in August and lost track of her after she was off-loaded from the train. I figured I'd get a call this past week. When I didn't hear anything, I went to the dealership and there she was, siting in the back by her lonesome. Snapped a quick pick on my cellphone. I went inside to inquire, apparently my salesman has been out, and no one knew who the Camaro belonged to. Anyway they gave me the keys and I started her up and took her around the lot (It was miserable out - rain). I plan on taking Tuesday off and take her home for a nice bath and wax. Very exciting weekend.

Nice pictures everyone. I think ABM is the prettiest color bar none. It looks like this will be a one year color, which just means ours will be more rare. Works for me.

Good call! I sure am glad it didn't turn out to be Hydro Blue!

Nice pic, mike.

I just don't know what color to get. I'm lost, but I'm sure that I'll figure it out. Have to give it more thought, that's all.

Seems like you have good taste.

My second choice was RJT with CGM stripes. I just saw one in town, so now I am glad I didn't go that way. No worries about having a close twin now though.

Cheers!

Also VERY glad I kept all of my paperwork , including build information from the factory...Wonder if they should be laminated now?

What a shame, huh? I'm happy for you Walt....But there has to be many in the camp I'm in who didn't quite have the funds this year, and were planning to order ABM next year. That hydro blue looks like crap. Well, atleast I can brag that my 06' Impala has a one-year color....Glacier Blue Metallic
