Both cars are great. I don't see how anyone can think otherwise.

Blue is actually considered a masculine color. Red is feminine. It's a known fact that people who wear blue to interviews get hired. It also makes you lift more weight. That's why gyms often paint the walls blue. Blue gives women a sense of loyalty when worn by a man. Blue could be considered depressing but not really, that idea was inspired by Picasso during one of his periods of creating work. He was contracting stds like syphilis from various prostitutes and created a series of paintings to reflect his mood. After all, his early works were hung in brothels only to be discovered by the wealthy. It's amazing how we've adopted the idea of blue since then. Just some color theory for you. I think someone even wrote a song about counting blue cars. Anyway, I'm blue da ba dee.

Blue also makes you less hungry. You're supposed to eat off of blue plates to lose weight. Is that a stupid fact too?

Very true as well. I think someone missed the point and how the human eye/brain responds to colors. Blue in this case. Blue is a universally masculine color. Grabber blue is named just for that and "to grab the viewers eye." I think "out there" was the goal that Ford was looking for. It's commands attention because its a drastic looking analogous color to the normal opinion of the hue.

I still say that this color is by no means a feminine color. Never has been, never will be. But what do I know in all of "my long haired books?"

It's definitely not a feminine color.. Yes there are way too many v6's rolling around with it.. Which I hated.. But overall I loved that color.it looks great clean or dirty

The 5.0 was performed awesome.. It's a lot and I mean a lot easy to drive.. Coming from an s2000 it had a lot more power.. I'm glad I got to mess around with it for a solid year before i got the gt500 cause that would be way too much power increase from the s2k..
