Hope they bring back citric acid or some more bright colours,as the current colours are getting a bit boring other than octane

Never been a fan of Citric or Octane.
I'll either get an XR8 in Smoke or Winter white.

I miss seeing Silk on the road. It was such a subtle colour. Depending on the position of the sun you had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't silver.

Silk G6ET with tan leather mmmmm....

And something akin to Breeze. Maybe a tone refresh like what they did with BF->FG. Same with Menace/Phantom/Viper.

Or better still, take a note from the Hyundai Veloster and throw in some matte paintwork :

As I said, thanks... after about 12 months on T3 it was still a very popular XR colour in BA.

That, and Kinetic isn't a proper Ford blue in my eyes. Blueprint was such a well-loved colour.
