Blue is great, I have an IBM, but...
I think it is time for something way down the color spectrum. I want an Indigo color, so deep that it sucks all the light around it out of the sky. It will look black as pitch at night, and glow like a sapphire in the daylight.
It would look good on every car GM makes, and possibly hide dirt better than the current Black and Imperial Blue versions do. |

The abm in the brochure was so nasty that my local dealer wouldn't order it without me signing that my deposit was non refundable, he has since tried several times to entice me into selling it back! I'd like to start a petition against any more med blue builds:D
|
It still amazes me how many compliments I get on the color, it never stops.
|
Love the ABM. Please bring it back, reminds me of the MARINA BLUE from the 1960's. :w00t:
|
Make a ABM ZL1.. I'll buy one!
|
ABL was my first choice when ordering, then I changed to IOM.
|
ABM was my second choice. I think I'd buy it if I had to do over.

Hard to deny this color gets the attention it should have gotten right from the start.
Wife and I took a little trip yesterday, maybe half hour to 45 minute drive to get to our destination. Nice sunny day. This car is going on 4 years old now, and I saw no less than 4 or 5 individuals turn around in their seats to get a good look at the car on the road, and one person gave us a thumbs up yesterday. I'm telling you, if they don't offer a similar blue in the 6th gen, its going to have to blow me away in looks and performance before they can pull this car away lol |

Seen this color at a local 5th Gen. meet. I like it very much. If it was offered on the 12's i would have bought one. Very nice color imo.

for all the newer members, ABM was available as were all other colors when pre-ordering the Camaro starting August 2008, BUT ABM was NOT available on SS models.
Camaro5 started petition, Scott (fbodfather) announced that GM changed it's mind around thankgiving, I ordered my ABM in December and prior orders 80% (about) were SS, so until then NO ABM SS's were ordered. No one wanted to change their order, problems with RS option being lost with order changes were common, and people did not want to lose their place in first allocation, as orders were placed and accepted by GM months later, I moved from 7 of 9 to number three at dealership, many, because of economy let their orders slip, mine was built on the friday that GM was still GM and delivered when GM was government motors 7 days later, mine never sat in dredded Hold. So with all the preorders very few were ABM, since most preorders were SS, so very few ABM exist. because sales were low, I believe only 2200 ABM SS out of 3700 built. Mine was 147th built in June 2009, of the 80,000 orders, so how could ABM not be lowest production, hence CUT. |

It was announced prior to the big wave that it would be discontinued.
Don't bring back ABM, how about an older color like DBM... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dark Brown Metallic. |
It didn't sell, it wasn't that popular. Move on to the next color. Or as GM already done, put in a few specialty models.

GM stopped making the color due to lack of sales!
............ Initial allocations limited preorders. ABM was not available to preorder as a SS until until 4 months into preorder period. ............. 80 percent of preorders were SS. ............. Look back, dealers and the computers messed up changes to preorders, RS was dropped and other screw ups, dealers were not used to orders, they sell out of stock, most could not even tell when your car was to be built, thus the threads here with members asking and following their builds. .............. You made your preorder and waited, allocations ran dry, you were happy with your order, then the first cars sat in prison for months. .............. By the time the few ABM's showed up, the 34to 3700 that were built, GM, who was not even going to offer the SS in ABM said lack of sales, color cancelled, also the white color was a late start and had few builds. So only a few who ordered late, after thanksgiving ordered ABM as SS, V6 orders which were 20 percent of preorders were about 1400. ................ If you could not order it for the first four months, there will be few ordered, and remember the limited allocations, miss the allocation and you can not order either. My dealer had it's first three come in as ABM, so obviously not popular............. |
95% of loss of ABM is due to this :
http://www.cartype.com/pics/6165/ful...e_metallic.jpg Camaro brochure never looked like the true ABM. Even I overlooked it, and changed my order when I saw it on photo on Camaro5. There is not one day that passes without hearing how that color is beautiful. |
