Not to sound like a whiner, but its still not the shade I was hoping for. Still too dark for my liking. But that's okay, I've kinda fallen for Inferno Orange at this point. Now if they decided to come out with Stryker or something very similar, then no contest.

Both Blues will be available on the SS - but the edit tables need to be updated and we only do that once a month.

That settles it for me then...

Its going to be an Aqua Blue Metallic 2SS/RS M6 with gray interior for me. (Still debating on whether or not I want stripes.)

Aww...knife through the heart.

Is it the same blue as the 2009 Cobalt like in this link? http://www.ecarlist.com/showroom/132.../191341#01.jpg

If it is then I'll still probably get it in Imperial blue, though it is a bit darker than I would of liked. I still need to see some good pictures of the aqua blue though.

There seems to be conflicting information. Will both Aqua and Imperial be offered, or just the Imperial?

Bob

did you try reading this thread at all? It was stated, quoted atleast twice, and restated that both blues will be offered.

Simply answering "both", or not answering at all would have taken less of your time. Nonetheless, thanks for the reply.

On Chevy's website, they updated the color choices with more attractive photoshopped pictures. The colors ALL look better now, and I could settle for aqua, but I would still prefer Jetstream Blue so I'd be happy to keep the car 10 or more years!

It's sort of the same situation with the '09 Pontiac G8. It comes in a new blue color called Stryker Blue Metallic that looks pretty good, but not good enough for me to buy it. It's too BLUE in my opinion, like the dictionary definition of blue. Throw a little teal in the mix, or make it a little lighter, and I'd be trading in my Corolla for a better daily driver right now. Then, I'd trade the G8 in on a new Camaro in about 2012 when they offer more goodies and refinements for it.

Here's Jetstream Blue for comparison's sake.

On a sidenote, the inferno orange looks amazing in this photoshopped pic, but I would never buy an orange car no matter how delicious it looked. It does look the best of the colors offered though.
