Rare 5th gens
The other day I was driving and at a stop light look down at my steering wheel and a thought crossed my mind. "They do not make this wheel anymore..." After only 2 years of being made, the "deep dish pizza" design is replaced by the "Volt" Wheel.
So my question is, Do you think that some 5th gens with be more rare or sought after because of things like the steering wheel or the color such as, Aqua blue, Red jewel, ect ect? And if so what do you think will be the rarest and for what reason! |

ABM is the rarest color... And everyone that I know loves the color more than any other production color. Most common excuse for not ordering an ABM is that nobody knew what the exact color was going to look like. I took a chance when I ordered mine and well I'm very glad that I did!! Hands down any ABM car is going to be a "rare" car to have

ABM with GM performance badges under the hood w/o backup sensors, beige interior and deep dish wheel with probably be the rarest Camaro to date. Will people go after it because of its badges and rare color. Well maybe, but ONLY if the Camaro continues to break sales records and proves to be an amazing design success.

I was on the fence about if the beige would go with ABM, but it certainly goes with SW! Black may be more sought after, but if beige is the collector's thing, it's rarity will certainly drive up the price.

It's my opinion that GM pulled the plug way too early on the ABM. No one could see what one really looked like - other than a paint chip or on the Build Your Own site. I went to the dealership thinking ABM or CGM, but the paint chip was god awful and no where near the true beauty ABM really is. But, my CGM is going to be part of the 2 yr "rare breed" now as well..

I think the main problem was ABM on the Impala and HHR. It looked terrible on both of those cars, but it looked perfect on the Camaro. I think they killed it because nobody was buying it on the other lineup. Unfortunately the Camaro was caught in the middle and lost a great color.

Most pull those off.
I like that there were only (LT Only)2425 Synergy Camaros made. Around 1800 or so were automatics. 3093 Total ABM,Code GBD were made. LS, 284 LT, 1592 SS, 2027 Aqua Blue was not available after the debut of Synergy Green.

This was for 2010, im not sure how many in 2011 were produced... but the 2011 productions of SGM drove ABM in the first place seat with rarity. I've seen 2ABMs in the past month.

The Synergy Package was only for about 3 months in 2010. For 2012 you could get the color for awhile but that production has stopped now too. The 2012 is not the Synergy Package.
