Good luck with your petition, but sales is sales

My wife still wants an ABM A6 and I cant find one for her

I love mine, but I doubt the color will ever return.

Wow. Always loved the F14s and they look great with your mods.:w00t:

The last day ABM was able to be ordered was the day my gorgeous DEVIOUS was born.. Nov 8th 2009. The sales samples GM had in the show rooms just didnt do the color any justice and I honestly almost didnt order it... but it called to me and RJT CGM just couldnt do it.... i am ever so glad I have this color! I have had nothing but compliments:drool: and still today, she turns heads almost everywhere we go!:happyanim:

Once a color is gone in the Auto world it's gone, no comebacks or second go a rounds.

There's one here in Ct at a dealer. Very clean low mileage '10 1SS. A friend road tested it last week but didn't buy.
I posted info on the ABM thread a few days ago. At Sullivans O'Neill Chev, Avon, Ct, 06001

the first camaro I test drove was the Aqua blue and in the sun it is beautiful, it would be near the top of my preferred colors.

Yep

Actually...do a search on the Pontiac solstice color 'fresh' (hydro blue). I think that would be awesome ona camaro

#18 here. The first 5th gen I saw in person was in ABM with the two tone gray and black interior. Beautiful car. Good luck with the petition.

Never happen, where do I sign?

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.

I see you're from Butler PA.. I'm in Johnstown and also own an early build ABM SS... i believe mine is the 77th car built. It was built in may and sold new at Nick Chevrolet in Tarentum, PA in June of 09 . What's your VIN? I bet our cars are close.

Vin 13345, 147th built. Ordered Dec. 31st, was built May 29, delivered June 5. Was allocation 7 of 9 , but ended up no. 3 at Kelly Chev., lot's of people bailed out of preorders.
First three were all ABM, one went out to Denver, a 1SS, was bought by a member here, as person who ordered backed out due to economy.

This memo never made it to Dodge/Chrysler.

some good looking ABM's!!

Nope.

If Chevy is going to bring back a blue for the Camaro it needs to be a classic color to match the retro styling. Bring back Nantucket Blue.

I wish they'd bring back ABM and IBM, most specifically IBM. They current blue does nothing for me. Both ABM and IBM are awesome blues in the sun. The currect BRM, looks dull, no pop... boring. Maybe if you get it in just the right sun angle you see ok there is a little blue to it, it's kinda cool... but put ABM or IBM in any light and they always look awesome.

Wasn't even going to order my car until after my kidney transplant at end of Dec 09, but when I saw the deadline for ordering the ABM announced, I ordered my Camaro at the beginning of November. I specifically told my salesperson I don't want a Camaro if she can't get me my ABM...I had a blue '69 when I was in HS and this ABM brought me back in time....I actually had my wife and son drove me to the dealer to pick up my car 4 days after I got out of the hospital and was on pain killer...LOL...IMO, in the sun, ABM is simply the best color...I am perfectly happy with GM not bringing back ABM but another medium blue...
