I think it's good that Ford are coming up with fresh colours for their cars as opposed to the same old pastels and red/blue's. It's definitely a colour that will stop people in their tracks and start conversations.

But highlighter colours? Certainly aren't thinking too far out of the office.

Looks to me that ford have tried to make the current colours look similar to the 70"s colours.Phantom mica/wild violet, citric acid/lime glaze, that new yellow"s like yellow glow.Has anyone else noticed that?

I don't like Citric at all, but I'd have to see this one in the flesh to know if I really liked it or not.
From the pics it looks alright.

Is it? My parents had a Wild Violet XA and I thought it was solid:. I was only 9 when they sold it though. Oh well, still a good colour anyway.

Here's a thought.. how about we go back to AU colour range days? Blue, red, black, white, and that's about it. Yeah, was much better back then. </sarcasm>

I think you're right, will be interesting to see public perception to it.

Yeah , that's been the fashion amongst carmakers for a while . looks to me that Ford are ripping the old Leyland P76 catalogue actually :
