Okay got a serious question to ask. I ordered a GT350 with track pack. My car was supposed to be built today, but was notified that it has changed to the 10th. Wasn't given a reason.

Here is my question, I ordered avalanche grey with black roof and black strips. But have been thinking about changing to magnetic with black roof and black strips. I was just told by the ford rep that I could change the color if I wanted.

Really would like to know what everyone thinks. I need to make this choice quickly and I'm torn between the 2 colors.

You're only going to get a very mixed and subjective bunch of opinions. It's like music and art in general, it only matters what you like. Look at a picture of both side-by-side and ask yourself which one get's your heart racing a little more. 'Course, if you're like me, it will be different tomorrow. I thought I was all in on AG/Black but now I think I'm going classic OW/Blue

Personal choice but I'd go with the magnetic looks great in person. :)

Tough decisions... both look good! What side of the spectrum do you lean towards more? The lighter or the darker shades??

Is that actually magnetic? I was told that it wasn't, that it was darker. That does help to see the two colors pictured together.

If it's the same one that older woman is no joke! She was the first to take me for a ride in the new s550... probably the most aggressive driver on the main roads, lol. Also noticed she was using both feet... and my vote is magnetic! again... lol.

I like lighter-colored cars so I'd choose AG. I've got a Fusion Energi in Magnetic...it's nice, but i think some of the lines on the gt350 get missed in Magnetic.

I'll throw in my vote for Magnetic as well. That's how I ordered mine, and my wife's 2015 Ecoboost is the same color. Contrary to what some people say, I would absolutely not say that Magnetic hides any lines. Instead, the metallic flakes and the shine really help bring them out. Granted, I'm very anal about keeping it clean, and I spend about 2 hours washing and detailing it every weekend. If you're not that dedicated, Avalanche might be a better color, as it looks like it would hide dust better.

I would choose magnetic over avalanche gray. I don't really like light colors as much because they hide the lines of the car and emphasize panel gaps. It doesn't bother me that a darker color shows dirt more. One thing I don't like about dark colors is that they show chipped paint more easily, but I live with that.

As you can see so far, your colors conundrum won't be solved here... you'll get responses for both colors since it's all subjective. Personal preference runs abound... :D

So maybe ask your spouse, partner, family members, etc... have some family input to make a decision you can technically only do once. :thumbsup:

Interesting you say that. My wife picked the color DIB with black stripes. I was just happy to get the car. I narrowed it down to 3 colors and she picked. Really made her feel part of the process.
