I am a BLUE car fan . Thats why I had ordered a sonic blue gt and then I saw a v6 sonic blue and I agree its too purple looking.. At that point I started to sweat whether I wanted sonic blue as my color as I waited for my order. In the end my order was taking too long, and I decided that I would be willing to go with black and I bought it as it rolled off the delivery truck then cancelled my order.
My wife saw another sonic blue v6 being test drove yesterday and called me right away and said" Im glad you went with black, the sonic blue looks too purple"

However with that being said - I havent seen an ugly 05 yet and I think to each his/her own.. whatever turns your crank and gets you excited about the 05!
