Well, here's my conundrum. I will be getting a gift of a brand new 2006 Mustang GT and I can't decide on a color. When I originally wanted a 2005 GT I wanted it in Satin Silver with the red interior but now I can't decide. I'm also looking at a Screaming Yellow with black leather interior (I know it doesn't come in any other color), and the Black with red in interior. I love all three choices and I've got reasons for liking each one.

In December I will be moving to Greece and bringing the Mustang with me. At first I wanted the Screaming Yellow because I kinda wanted to be a little different seeing as most vehicles over there are silver. After thinking about it, I thought about Black so it blended in a little more due to the fact that a lot of people over there don't always like it when you try to stick out and could take a key to the paint. After a while I realized Black wouldn't really be the best color when trying to hide key scratches so I came back to my original choice from '05, Satin Silver. It's not a done deal though so I'm kinda interested in your opinions.

Heres the three I am looking at:

How about Redfire?

I like Redfire, but I've seen WAY too many of them here and if it's anything but Yellow, I want the red leather so that would be a little too much red. But, thanks for the input!

Living in fear of what others may do is no way to live your life. Don't make this decision based on something you can't control.

Yellow...............


And screw whoever doesn't like yellow. I have had mine forever and no one has messed with it.

except perhaps your son (see thread on garage door)
sorry just couldnt resist that one.


as for the subject of the thread ... my vote is vista blue. have only seen one other one in that colour and that one is one that I had the dealer order when it looked like he wouldnt be getting my original order in (and now its sitting on his lot if anyone wants to check it out).

i like the Vista Blue, but the one they had didn't have the options I wanted. However, I still have 2 and a half weeks before I will go in to purchase my car so who knows what's coming in by then.

I have a Vista Blue car with Charcoal leather and love it. but I have to say a close seocnd would be the black with red leather. I just love this combination!!

I voted for black with red leather (ummm... maybe I'm a little biased here), but if you want your car clean and shiny 24/7, don't go for black.

I have black with red leather and it looks really nice. I have racing stripes down the middle of it and it looks really good. My vote is black!

I only like the looks of the black interior so I voted for yellow exterior color but my two favorite colors are Vista Blue and Tungsten.

Well, here's an update. More than likely I won't be getting the Mustang. My warranty would expire upon leaving the country, it's extremely expensive to bring it over to europe (parents were thrown off by this), and they would have to mutilate it to be complacent with EU motor vehicle laws. I have, however, been told that I can have any car over there that I want and I think I've decided on a Ford Focus ST.



Or, in Orange


Here's a couple of reviews for those interested.

It's a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder turbo with 223 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque. It's a six speed and allows you to change your suspension set-up from the stalks on the wheel. It also comes standard with Recaro seats.



With a top speed of about 150 MPH I think I can deal with not having a Mustang until I move back in 4 or 5 years. Thoughts? I would love your opinions.

Good choice Maverick,also that Focus ST is as fast,if not faster than a mustang gt.So at least in the Focus ST you have the speed but not looks.

Maverick128

What I think is amazing is that on Top Gears list of lap times for their track, it actually finished faster than cars like the Ferrari 575, Lotus Elise, and Aston Martin Vanquish.
