Green, Green, Green- Red, Red, Red- Blue, Blue, Blue..... I like them all, especially because they are different. I miss the days that you could actually buy cars like that.

I do too.  Newer cars offer very few exterior colors compared to the 1960's, and it seems like you can only get an interior in black or gray.  I would love to see the new 2016 Camaro with bright blue, white, red, tan or natural, and gold as interior color options.

I know red interiors were offered for a while on some model cars.  The GTO of 04-06 had that available, buddy had a silver goat with red interior.  Sharp looking.

Tan is also still available on most models, one of our favorites, classy look.  One of my wifes 4th gens had tan and I bought my duramax with tan cloth, hard to find but available.

My wifes boss at work drives a Kermit the frog green charger, and yes it has matching green interior.  Kind of ugly to me but at least dodge has been bringing back some of their high impact colors in recent years.

The 5th Gen has had some limited interior options. Besides orange interior, they did offer a beige interior option on the 2010, and maybe in 2011. I also think the mid 2010 synergy green had a green interior option.
If you really have a taste for the 60's flare, Nickey Chicago offers some "unique " options for interior choices:

Not my cup of tea, but I know Gary really has a thing for Orange, right?

I didn't know that Nickey was doing that..  :)    I thought seriously about purchasing a new SS when the 5th gen Camaro first came out, and I was going to buy a white one then add the orange stripes and orange houndstooth interior (to simulate the '69 pacer), and to 'sorta match' my Z28... :)    but I decided I didn't like driving the 5th gen due to the sorry driver visibility...

You would think as many people complain about the poor visibility they would tweek that in the model changes. I looked at a zl-1 and the dealer gave me a good deal on it but the side windows are too high.  I took my brother in law to pick up his f**d truck yesterday and someone was driving a shelby 350 around the lot. I hate to admit it but it looked good and sounded awesome.

I have no qualms at all with other brands, I have Pontiacs, Fords, and Chevy's in the stable and they all have their place.  If I were looking at new cars I'd most likely end up with a new 5.0 mustang.  The coyote engine runs strong, and I like the body style.  I also like the challengers and Camaros but both are priced much higher than mustangs once equipped the way I'd want it. 

Nickey was modifying the 4th gen Camaros the same way back when they were new with special interior colors and paint schemes and HP packages.  Kind of neat actually but always limited production though and prices extremely high.

I asked about the visibility at the 2016 intro. They said the customers rated the styling more important, IIRC.

Which tells me that as long as customers purchase the car, they will make no attempt to improve the car...  I liken it to 'driving a bathtub car'....  There are always things (mostly small) that can be improved on any existing design, and when they've been building the SAME car for what six years??  and haven't done any significant design improvements?  So when customers start buying the mustang or some other car, Chevy has no excuse...

isn't answering to the customers wishes, how the edsel got built?

Some of the most beautiful cars in the world do not have great visibility. If somebody wanted 5 star visibility there are many other makes models out there that will satisfy that buyer. Hell my 69 camaro has a "blind spot", but I'm not complaining or selling it to get a convertible with rearview bar mirror, so I can see everything behind me. 

To quote a not so famous movie " and now my friend the first rule in italian driving, whats behind me (rips off mirror and tosses it) is not important"

My point being is people have their choice of Mustang, Challenger, Camaro or many other performance minded cars out there. I think the successful sales of each generation of Camaro (including the 5th and 6th) speak for themselves, as far as GM delivering a product that the public wants. We are lucky they have made so many different versions over the years for us "picky" buyers to choose from. We are lucky they brought back the Camaro at all.....
I'm not a fan of the bail out, but maybe the silver lining is we got to keep the Camaro alive, and it could have looked/performed  a lot worse  :D
