Lightning blue looks like what DIB looks in very bright sunlight. I imagine that it is more consistent where DIB changes with different lighting conditions. I think both are very nice, but I am happy with DIB.

Grabber blue, to me, has always been a color that looked better in person than in pictures. That said, I'm still not sure if I like the color on the s550 yet.
Agree with this. Does nothing for me in pictures but it's great in person with the right wheels ect.

On a overcast day my sgm car looks so bland dull while a friends grabber blue still has great "pop" to the color

I really wish Ford would bring back Sonic Blue. Best blue by far from Ford.
i was hoping that lightning blue would be close to sonic......and was prepared to order until seeing a fusion in lightning blue.
hard to describe but i was really turned off by it in person

Grabber blue is the worst.
By itself, true. Pair it with lots of black details (decals, racing stripes, roof, hood center, etc.) and it starts looking a lot better :thumbsup:

Maybe get it factory black racing stripes? I'd think you'd have a winner at that point :thumbsup: The black top of the convertible will complement it well...

The first thing I noticed was the paint mismatch on the front bumper of the LB car. Hope that's just a preproduction run. Could just be the lighting I guess.

Got the Lightening Blue with black wheels and black over the top stripe coming next month. Can't wait! I agree the blue will look awesome with the black.

Yea I would hold off. Maybe the next GT500 comes back in Sonic Blue? :frusty:

C'mon :ford:

Heres the platnium white vs oxford
Looks the same plain old white, cept one looks a little cleaner, maybe if they did a balloon white or pearl white i would be more intrigued.

Looks lighter than vista blue. I like it in the pic, seeing in person will be the tell all. To me DIB had too much of a purple hue but color choice is very subjective.

First Production Pics of New Colours

OK, So they are base models without Performance Packages, but, at least it's a start. Would be good to keep this thread for further images on new colours. Can't wait to see my Grabber Blue with Black rims and black stripes, mirror caps etc... The fastback base in Grabber or Lightning does nothing for me:shrug:
