I saw on the ford.co.nz site they have the hot magenta listed in the colours at +$1000 similar to how it is in England. Even at the extra price it's the second most popular colour in England. They go on sale there in April so I guess that means we get Magenta after that date also?. The local dealers told me it wasn't comming to Australia as no one would pay the extra for the paint (they also told me heaps of girls were comming into the dealers saing I'll buy one but only if you get me a magenta one :p he said it was getting anoying)

Often happens that way.
Depends a lot on the local dealerships and their management. For example, Subaru NZ managed to offer the Forester STI to those that wanted it but Subaru AU refused to import it. Talk was that it was purely for financial reasons in that the STI would not sell well enough and would eat into WRX STI sales. However, it sold well enough in NZ and didn't negatively impact WRX sales. Not a fan of the Magenta myself but they should at least offer it as an option for those willing to pay a premium. |

Considering the amount of mangenta and pink VL commodores you see girls driving and have been willing to pay to have them painted like that. I think it should be an option

Considering its the 'hero' colour featured in the world wide advertising, they should make that colour available world wide!

Agree, XR5 in orange is one vehicle that should have been excluded.
Worst colour ever dropped on a Ford |

Fails advertising on my behalf as they are showing the colour on the new Fiesta commercial. When we are unable to get it. Yes or No.
Brought one for the wife. Showed her the Magenta colour and loved it. Wife said she was ringing the dealer to change colour..........lol. Then I told her it's not available in Aus. It was funny at the time but she sure was not a happy camper. It's a shame that Ford Aus didn't bring that colour here. Very nice |

If anyone hears of the Hot Magenta coming to Australia could they please post here?
Surely someone at Ford recognizes the potential for more sales with so many people interested in this colour? |
