Curious.....Do you like this colour?

I'm curious as to what others think of this colour on the 2010 Mustang. It reminds me of the Grabber Blue used by FoMoCo over thirty years ago. I actually like the blue stitching in the seats.

I like the interior.

Not sure about the exterior color, at least not on that car.

Yeah, looking at it once more I think the colour looks better on the older Mustangs and Torinos. I'm pleasantly surprised, however, how much better the interior looks than the 05-09 Mustangs.

maybe if it had the stripes to break up all the blue...but even then I dont think it translates well between the two.

That Boss 302

I kind of like that blue on the new Mustang..... but it would be way down on my list of color choices.

Boss 429 was one of my dream cars when I was growing up.. As others have mentionned, I'm not sold on that new color just yet. However the interior has been quite an improvement.

I don't like the color of the exterior, kinda looks pastel to me (however, I am color-blind) The interior looks nice though.

Kinda reminds of this Murcielago I saw a few days ago...


Color: Azzurro Aquarius Metallic

...although the Lambo appears to be a little lighter.

I like it. I've always like weird blues on performance cars. One of my favs is the Laguna Seca Blue M3s. Love it!

I don't think it looks all that bad. I think it would look better if it had stripes, but that's just me.

Beautiful 302. A friend just sold his '70 302, finished in yellow. A solid lifter Boss 302 makes all kinds of wonderful sounds............

I'm still not sure how I feel about this particular blue on the 2010. I wonder if it will become dated after a few short years.

For the exterior: No. It's not the right shade....a bit too light and bright/vibrant, IMO. Looks like a swimming pool.

It doesn't look right on that car. Maybe if the wheels were a different color It looks good on the Boss, though.

Even with pinstripping and accent stripes, I'd get orange before I'd get that blue. I'd take yellow w/stripes over that blue as well.

Too much blue going on...Some black stripes will help tone it down a bit..

You have to ask yourself " How many weeks will it take for me to ask myself WTF was I thinking? ". I only think there are 3 bright colors acceptable on a car....orange ,red and yellow. I won't include white as a color, but it's hot too!

I don't know but almost all blues have some sort of weird charm about them. KBP on a 3G TL-S is one of those blues.... it seems so out of place for such a car, but it just looks freakin awesome.
