I love my ABM and would NOT sell it as I feel in the sun it is very near to this Kinetic Blue....but overall this is the perfect blue..

Just...

AHMITO · 10-30-2012, 11:57 AM

i wouldn't trade my car for the color.

The solid blk stripe sucks. Should have dual white stripes or dual black stripes.

Ummm..after looking at it from different angles the black solid doesnt look so bad after all.

I'd like to know if this color will actually be available for a limited time on other models or just on the Hot Wheels edition. Kinetic Blue is too good of a color to be limited to just that special edition and I'd be severely dissapointed if it's not available for the rest of us who don't want toy car logos all over our car or don't want to spend an extra $7000 for it. I'd be much more happy getting it on a $3500 1LE.

True, I just said Victory Red because I like Crystal Red Tintcoat more

Thats all I am waiting on to upgrade mine to a 1SS/RS is this blue ! Make it and I will Buy it !

If I were to buy one of the Kinetic Blue cars it would probably be once they hit the lots as used. It's a beautiful color for sure.

Also - keep in mind that to offer the color for a full year, we would have to drop either yellow, orange, or red.................

Now - all that said - the poll only takes into consideration those who come to Camaro5 --

I would think that there would be a lot more people that would want to buy a decent bright blue than yellow, orange, or blue ray. Especially since the first 2 have been out for quite some time.

So why is it only yellow, orange, or red? That doesn't make any sense. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these cars are all painted at the same factory right? It's not like you're sending these cars to India to get painted???? How can it be such a significant cost increase to add ONE flipping color to the palette?? Why not replace BRM? The blue that isn't really that blue?

Sent from my abacus using precise finger movements......

It doesn't have to do just with how well one or two colors are selling. You have to take into consideration how many exclusive colors the Camaro is allotted. To save money the majority of the camaros colors are shared with other models. I wish they could offer 20 colors but it will never happen. Red Orange and Yellow could be colors that the other models built at Oshawa aren't painted.

linc400 · 10-31-2012, 04:25 PM

The brochure for my antique 1976 Lincoln shows 26 colors available, plus 20 interior and vinyl top colors. Including 5 shades of blue. Plus they dropped and added a few colors every year. And they made a profit every year.

Now, it is a big deal to add one color. Isn't technology great?

My big question, how come the Aveo, Sonic or other cheap cars come in more colors. But when you pay more for a Camaro, you get less choices?

monstertodd · 10-31-2012, 05:12 PM

Pretty sad that the equinox has more color options than the Camaro.

The paint line is shared, and paint hoppers are limited.

There are a couple of paint colors that are Camaro-only. A "victory" for the Camaro Team, considering the alternative... But since no other vehicle on this line could possibly support Kinetic Blue....one of the Camaro-only colors would have to be substituted.

zogster · 10-31-2012, 05:22 PM

Get rid of the yellow if we have to get rid of one. I would get rid of any of them if it meant we could have Kinetic Blue as an option though.

hoz55 · 10-31-2012, 05:25 PM

I'd love to get one in that color! ASAP!
