Ford has Neo, Holden have Morpheous... I sense we have The Matrix fans within both camps.

Maybe the release of the new purple was something to do with getting it ready in time for Mardi Gras ... would suit the numberplates in my avatar ... but Rick Kelly already has those.

LMAO! I was thinking the same thing when I saw Morpheous in the thread title.

Back on topic I quite like both of those colours but I suspect they will age quickly.

Both colours look they are straight out the 70's. But the purple looks better than the green.

Like the green, but wouldn't buy it as i know it would get old, very quick.

The purple is a little to girly for me, especially if i were buying a Modern day "Muscle Car" like an SS or SS-V...

As colours, they are nice and fresh, but I agree with most comments that they don't suit the cars - Thinking about it the VE doesn't really suit ANY light colours!! They look OK in Black and Gray but that must mean the shape is wrong if you have to hide it in a dark colour.

But has anyone seen the new Wilkinshaw Green VE? Yes impressive HP but looks like someones vomit after driving a flaggon of Apple cider!
