lets see the reason behind everyone's choice in color I'll start 1st
black basiclly wanted something new it looks sporty without the hey im here color screaming. and it's easy to blend everything together. and it looks slick

IROCanSS · 08-04-2009, 01:07 PM

Seeing it in person. Almost ordered VR (like the one I test drove) but saw a SIM the next day. Ordered SIM a day later! the black h/h stripes just add icing to the cake!

No real specific reason, besides that I like it the most.

I changed my mind SO many times regarding color. I debated between Black, IOM, VR, SIM, and even Summit White so many times. I went from wanting black w/white stripes, to white w/black, to IOM w/black, etc. When I first found out about the Camaro and saw the GM rendering of ABM on their printable brochure thing back in December, I thought ABM was the ugliest, and I crossed it off first. Even when I saw it on the HHR, I wasn't a fan.

After seeing it in person on the Camaro thanks to Camaro5 member BrianGriffin78, I can say that the color is gorgeous.

I also love the fact that it won't be as common as the blacks, CGMs, and SIMs.

All the colors of the Camaro are nice, and I can't say I'd be upset if I HAD to get any of them, although I of course, want my ABM.

IBM. Sparkles in the sun (classy, subtle attention getter) and looks black and badass in the dark.

Spectre-2112 · 08-04-2009, 01:09 PM

I picked the ABM because I wanted a brighter color just like the 1st generation Camaros, something that stands out a bit. I did not like the yellow, especially since it was the pale yellow like on the C6s, and I thought the IOM was too bright. Since Sunoco Blue was not an option, ABM was my choice and now that I have it with Black Rally Stripes, I love it. Still waiting on GFX.

sasquash1984 · 08-04-2009, 01:11 PM

the summit white is sick kinda makes me think some times......also the ibm.....

CajunCamaroChic · 08-04-2009, 01:12 PM

ABM because my husband wanted yellow!

No, really, we wanted something similar to a '69 Camaro color we saw!

FI4T0MCAT · 08-04-2009, 01:13 PM

I wanted to match my yellow 69.

Red Rocket · 08-04-2009, 01:14 PM

I went with red because I've always wanted a red sports car. Saw it in person and fell in love with the color even more. I almost chose RJT, but saw some actual pictures and thought it was a little too burgundy for me. Yellow was my second choice, it's flashy like red, but i felt after several months I thought I might get tired of it. I still think it's a more appropriate color for a Beetle. If I was ever to be fortunate to acquire a second Camaro, I would probably pick SIM or ABM.

myblackcamaros · 08-04-2009, 01:14 PM

Originally ordered IOM. Then two of my friends ordered the same thing, so I changed to black. Most of my hot cars have been black throught the years so this was an easy choice. Actually, I think this car looks awesome in any color!

chrisinlittlerock · 08-04-2009, 01:16 PM

I think the yellow pops in the sun!!!

ftshark · 08-04-2009, 01:22 PM

I decided on CGM because I didn't what something too bright. Switched my mind from black to silver stripes at the last minute. I wanted the stripes to stand out a bit more.

jnewberr2ssrs · 08-04-2009, 01:25 PM

i chose black because it seems so elegant and classy...the way i see it it's like wearing a fancy and elegant rolex watch and when someone is impressed by its looks and asks for a closer look you gently slide it off your wrist down to your knuckles and sucker punch them as hard as you can leaving an imprint of the diamond pattern on their face that won't go away for weeks and will leave them sleepless for months from the pain

hahaha...yeah...something like that

CamaroSue · 08-04-2009, 01:25 PM

I just love red camaros!!!! This is the fifth red one that I've had! I've had black and white - and it just wasnt the same!
