I agree with John. The Vista Blue reminds me a lot of my Bright Atlantic Blue 2000 Ford ZX2.

I think it's a great color! :nice:

Only thing is, my past 3 cars have been blue. That's one of the reasons why I went with the LEGEND LIME GREEN! :D

The vista blue sheet is almost spot on with this Accord indoors. This picture is a tad misleading because the car is a little brighter in the sun.

I'll try to get a pic of the Vista blue sheet and this Accord next to each other.

I love my Sonic Blue and like the fact that it changes in the different light put on it. The Vista does look like a cheap paint from a late 80's Camaro. I remember back in the 80's when having a paint change color like the Sonic it was big money for that option. My old 97 Ranger in Caymon Green used to change the same purple color under street lights. I think they should change the colors every year or two, it'll make each car unique and satisfy many different tastes.

I would like to see Ford bring back Gulfstream Aqua...


:drool:

Red454--thanks much for the pics! I'd been waiting to see how the new Vista stacked up against Sonic Blue (my original color choice). Since I've been stuck here in Iraq the past 9 months, I missed the opportunity to order the new Mustang until recently. I didn't make the window for '05, and wasn't sure what color I'd end up going with for with the '06. Long story short, my wife took a trip to our local dealer, saw the color samples (after I told her they were out), and finalized our order for a Vista Blue '06 GT. :)

Glad to help - I may end up with Vista too if my order doesn't get picked up...

Yes but Sonic the hedgehog is cool. Sonic goes along with Super as in Super Sonic. :nice: :-D

I like my Sonic Blue especially when there is a overcast or in the twilight when it does change color to a cool looking purplish blue. Ford probably most likely went with Vista because it is cheaper. Don't get me wrong Vista is nice but it is no sonic. I bet there will be a big difference when you put 2 Mustangs side by side one with each color. Vista will be obviously lighter. Vista is more like true blue.

Or could this be Vista Blue.
I'll put my money on it.

Makes sense, we got jipped for 18" wheel optoins in 05, this color might have been set for 05 as well, but never made it.

Note sure how to add this as an image...so i'll just attach it as a file.

That's photo shop by MT.

According to Brad, "Vista Blue GT Coupe will be officially unveiled in Tulsa this coming weekend". Someone in Tulsa needs to take some photos and post them on here.

The link don't work?

More than likely I will be going and will take many pics.. :nice:

Vista Blue looks really nice, but to me, the color shift of Sonic Blue is what makes it really, really nice. It was really tough to choose between SB and the LL that I got. The LL has some of that shifting ability as well. Sometimes it looks real green, sometimes more gold, and under certain parking lot lights, it looks silver! I like the way the SB goes from bright blue to dark blue to purple. Both are pretty incredible for a factory paint job, imo.

Hey Scott, Brad Barnett (owner of this site) is looking for someone to go to this car show and take some pixs.

Just put a post on that thread. I will probably be going and will take lots of pixs. :nice:

Scott,
Did you go and get pics? Anxious to see them if you did.

It's this weekend...not yet.

just curious.... where did eveybody get this idea that these were chops? call me lazy, but I didn't do a search on "I got word straight from the horse's mouth at Motor Trend who actually modified these pictures to tell me that they were chopped."
