I'm always thinking about if i bought a brand new FPV/Ford XR6T or XR8, what colour would i get ?
Give me some thoughts on what you reckon is hot and what is really isn't I know i've missed a couple, just thought i'd throw down the most popular choices. You'll notice Menace is missing...couldn't bring myself to put it in. Personally i'm torn between Ego, Rapid and Bionic |

I've loved Rapid ever since I bought my XR. Never thought I would be seen driving a yellow car, let alone owning one.
BUT, having said that, Octane Typhoon looks HOT. 2nd BUT, you don't have NEO in your list. There is a NEO GT in my local dealer and I WANT IT. So for an FPV my pic is NEO. But I voted for Octane in lieu of Neo. |

I'll say Shockwave, but it doesn't have a patch on Blueprint.

None of the above - Vibe, Mandarin or Citric Acid.
If it had to be a current colour though - Ego. White if its a typhoon.

As Austin said, white on a typhoon, other than that Ego.
But you can never go past black either

There's something about White ... I dunno.
I must be biased. XRs look clean and slick in white. Plus don't look too dirty ... when they are in actual fact filthy. Nice and cool in Summer ... looks awesome with dark tint. As I said ... I must be biased

Ego's an awesome color, just dont stack the car, very hard to match, took 2 of us at work half a day to match the color, i reckon phantom was the best of the BA range

Rapid - but I'm biased too. Ego a very close second.
Couldn't get two more different colours really. |

I'd go with Bionic for the new batch of colours but, as I have a soft spot for orange, I had to go with Octane as well.
Just not the same as Blood Orange but it's growing on me.

Saw a XR6T in Seduce today - nice.
Seduce is metallic red like my Tezza, only available on Ghias and XRs so more special too. Bionic or Neo. Vibe or Dejavu or combined as chromaflair Fantasy. |

I'd be tossing up between Shockwave, Ego or Dejavu, I think Falcons have normally looked better in the darker colours
