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...

Well I do know 3.5 years later people keep asking me can they get one in this color?
Now would they buy one if they could, who knows?

There are better blues in GM's color charts than ABM.

I'd like to see the Hotwheels Camaro Blue (think its Kinetic Blue) on all the Camaros.

Yep.. many more.

But the fact is GM's people in management "think" people want so called "safe" colors. This is from a top GM exec. (Ed Welburn). The video is on youtube when he was being interviewed and asked why GM keeps picking the silverish/greyish subdued colors (boring depressing colors). Ed said they feel that people dont want colors that stand out they want "safe" colors.

Sorry Ed, but as a paying customer i DO NOT want "safe" colors.

I want a great looking color that stands out and looks GOOD.

They definitely need a better blue color. One of the things that shoots me down for trading in for a new one.

My comments about Indy 500 parade cars being Hot Wheels models:

here we go with Chevrolet promoting an UGLY unsaleable medium BLUE color (like ABM) to the American public, why show a color that will not sell or should not be produced? We need a petition to have Chevrolet repaint these cars to avoid the embarrassment.

Now get rid of the UGLY Laguna Blue on the 2014 Corvette (but wait until I get one to go with my ABM Camaro).

Another Lighter Blue would be great. I couldn't get the ABM so I have what I have.
