Do you realize that I'm talking about the color pictured? I would venture a guess that this won't be a popular color. I have yet to see it in person, but I haven't seen a pic yet where it looks good. Lighting and camera notwithstanding. Here's a very, very crappy cell phone pic of my truck, poor lighting, whatever the excuse you want to use. That doesn't change the fact that this blue is stunning in any light. I've seen the recent blues on Mustangs and they are stunning in any light as well...I expect the same from the pics I have seen of the '10 model. This is the kind of blue GM should have offered.

Nobody is going to mistake this for a melted blue/green crayon.



Here's another crappy pic, next to a light aqua/teal '65 Imp. I had a '66 in high school that was the exact same color, so I grabbed this shot in a parking lot....I wouldn't fault GM for attempting to use this color...but I have my doubts on whether or not it would work on the new Camaro.

This is the color they should have brought back.

'69 Lemans Blue


Or they should have just offered Jetstream Blue.

I couldn't agree with you more!

I showed my father the Camaro picture and he made an interesting comment... He said it is the same, if not extremely close to the colour of his Warwick Blue 69 Firebird...

That is a very unsporty looking blue, doesn't work for me. They need a color like the IROC-Z metallic or quasar metallic, seems like the 5th Gen blues are too light and then too dark with no inbetween.

I think it's close. My '69 Firebird was Warwick blue as well, and appeared to be somewhat close to this, but I could only see the blue/green hue in the jams when it was disassembled to go completely Black the correct way, and my memory fades. I did not paint it that blue for the same reason I don't like this one.

I saw an HHR this color at the dealership this weekend, and still I remain duly unimpressed. I followed a '92 or so Grand Prix to work today, nearly the same color....which I found to be humorous as we routinely make fun of the 'Teal-esque', cars that inundated the roads in the late 80's/early 90's every time we see one managing to cling to life. Nothing quite says 'I love the 80's' like a Teal Geo Storm, or Beretta Z26(?), etc.
