Because Camaro shares a common body and paint shop with several other vehicle lines at Oshawa, we must abide by decisions that affect more than just Camaro - and thus Imperial Blue Metallic will be discontinued very shortly. Offering it for only a week or so on the ZL1 is not practical as it would require paint re-validation for ZL1-unique components such as bumper fascias. Crystal Red Tintcoat will be available to order shortly.

We will have further information as to order cut-off dates for LS, LT, and SS models in Imperial Blue Metallic very shortly.

At least we got ours

Welcome to the rare Camaro club guys!

Personally i like the news, means eventually resale value will be a little higher, and my car will also be that much more rare

Noticed the removal of IBM heritage grills from the RPO's last week... Was going to order mine factory, but ordered aftermarket to save a few bucks. Should be getting a VIN this week or next; sitting at stage 3400 since 12/16... (psst -- 1st post on C5!)
