Hmmm. I can think of 10 different names for that colour, but won't say them becuase they are offensive towards homosexual people...

So you would post the names but then have to report your own post to the authorities?

Seems he will not buy a new Ford until 2 tone finishes return. He wants the "LUBE" /"THRUST" combo scheme! . :

That is just plain horrible. What a way to wreck a performance ford. Looks like Grape favoured hubba bubba.

It amazes me that with such an array of perfectly sexy colours out there, ford decides to be like holden and try something new. The GT I think is best in the simple blue colour.

Dog namit, good luck selling 1.

Looks crap imo, but I dont think ford really aimed that colour at guys, definitely a girls colour. Alot of women are getting into the XRs now, so I guess their starting to make colours just for them too now.

I suppose its all about personal taste, I love the colour, its different, has a nice tone and looks good in differing shades of light.

That would have to be the WORSE BA colour to date I would think... Ladies car or not, thats just ugly.

Looks like its sold to considering its got spats, towbar and headlight covers fitted.

I feel sorry for anyone whos taking delivery of a Fleet car in the short future and doesn't get to pick the colour, lol most of the Fleet companies will get that or that new gold colour called Blaze. :

I see an XR6 ute in that color nearly every day for the past 3 months, and I hate it as much now as when I first saw it. Toxic is a million times better. If I see the Toxic XR8 in the carpark at the gym again I will try to get a shot of it on my phone.

Hmmm...something funny happening with Ford colours lately:
Phantom (deep metallic purple)
Menace (light metallic purple/pink)
What's next? Sith (Hot pink???)

Someone has been watching too much Star Wars.

So that would be a Toyota (or should that be Toyoda) Camry colour then?

From what I've seen, it's not as pink as it looks in the photos. See it in the flesh first, it is definitely more Magenta than the photo suggests.

not a fan... but better than some colours I have seen (tigra gold, baby poo browns)

Definately one for teenage chicks looking for something that will stand out. Looks more like a beetle colour than an XR colour

Mmmmm, I dunno. When buying my BA XR8 my daughter told me I had to get the purple one, meaning Phantom. That was fine as I liked it too.
Damn, if I was buying one now and she saw "Menace", I think I'd be of two minds about making my daughter happy. I don't think I could..it's too pink.
