In fact, in your first picture, it DOES look like the 2010 color. But the 2nd and 3rd pictures looks like a different shade all together.
I just hope we see some shots of a real F5 car in Aqua Blue before release.

Well that looks NOTHING like the crappy blue on the camaro site. In fact, I LOVED that color blue on the 78's. Isnt' that Quasar, or Electric Blue? That's the shade I was hoping for. So if that's what Aqua Blue really looks like, then I'm a happy camper. But it sure looks muddy and icky on the site. Not even CLOSE to that blue that you show. The 2010 color just doesn't POP like that '78 does. And I want it to POP.

Aqua Blue Metallic
I just checked out Aqua Blue Metallic on a Colorado at my local Chevy Dealership, it is Hideous! It looks that the premixed, $20 a gallon color somebody buys at an autobody supply store to throw a quickie paint job on their rusted out Celebrity. AWFUL!!! Come on GM give us Jetstream Blue! Aqua Blue Metallic should be illegal to put on a car this great looking!

I'm not a fan of green, but I almost wish that if we couldn't get a GOOD blue color, that they would offer a neat green instead. Not for me, but I know there are many 1st gen fans out there that wished for it. I went out on a hunt this weekend to find either Aqua Blue or Brazen Orange. I couldn't find either. I did find a Corvette in JetStream and a G8 in Ignition Orange. I liked the JetStream, but wasn't crazy about the Ignition Orange, it was kind of a frumpy Orange (if there is such a thing). JetStream is lighter than I want but looks much better than any picture of Aqua that I've seen.
THIS
Is the blue I was hoping for.
Or something like this, while this isn't quite right either, it's better than Aqua.
The blue on that Colorado truck can only be described as "Blah Blue".

I really have to see the colors on the Camaro. I always wanted black but after seeing silver on the tv car and cyber gray on the ZR1 I'm torn. I really like the way the cyber gray shines with green and blue flakes. Now I'm kinda diggin the orange. With some black stripes and black wheels it could be pretty sweet.

the imperial blue is a really nice color in person...lots of metallics, made the malibu look damn good...the red tint color or whatever looks great too, the aqua blue is definetly not the same blue that was used in 78...i was very dissapointed in that color
