I'll make sure the right people at GM see this thread.

Cannot even believe they would not offer this color. Frankly, they should ONLY offer the SS in BLUE!!!!!! But, I am a little bit bias. Voted YES!!!

Since I am not a communist and love freedom, I voted yes.
And, if I were buying a '10 Camaro it would probably be IBM, so all Camaros should be available with it not just LS/LT. But the Aqua Blue should be LS only, that way only a small minority of 5th gens will have that ghay color on it.

I want VICTORY RED RALLY STRIPES on a WHITE CAMARO and VICTORY RED interior trim. <--- just so GM sees that.

Blue, I could care less about.

Since the orange they are offering is lame and not even close to hugger orange or that convertible concept orange, I'd like another option. Navy blue with white stripes!

Although I personally won't buy one in blue, I think it will look good and should be an option. People loved the NBM on 4th gens and I think it will be the same with Imperial blue on the 5th.

I've only owned black or blue F bodies so I vote yes. I see plenty of NBM camaros on here its pretty much a staple color.

Wait.. maybe I'm missing something but I see blue on GM's site? Two actually, aqua blue metallic and imperial blue metallic.

http://www.chevrolet.com/camaro/explorecamaro/gallery/

Why would they have blue available on the V6 but not the SS? That just makes no sense!

I voted for Blue. I would also vote for more and better colors. Having the color palette tied to the other model line also being built there isn't the best marketing choice.

A good selling tactic would be that the colors offered are ONLY available for the Camaro. You won't see them on grandmother's Buick. Just my opinion.

I for one, would love to see the IMPERIAL BLUE METALLIC in the SS option. I'm an orange color kind of guy, but I REALLY like the imperial blue. I was pretty stewed when I saw no blue "SS".
MAKE IT HAPPEN ,GM

I still think GM should and still can in the future offer a Heritage Color Option. ( <---hint for the sales and marketing people living in a bubble) They missed a great sales and marketing tool to drum up even more passion and impulse buying. I think it would be a great idea to offer it by at least the second production year.


I'm sure that many people would pony up a modest price bump to get modern interpretations of 67-69 colors.
