I've seen a couple of XR's with that colour as well. That just looks terrible. What was the buyer thinking?

Hopefully this car is owned either by Cadbury or Matel.

At least in stands out.
Eveyone has different tastes. I'am not keen on silver or gold cars but a lot of people love silver as a colour.

It is unique. And it will be worth more in 30 years time than the other colour combinations because there were so few built like this.

its' less likely to be keyed or deliberately scratched or dinged . delinquents will probably sympathise with the owner . and figure it looks bad enough and a scratch wouldn't make it look any worse .

Don't know there's just something about it that I like but can't put a finger on it. Would not ever order that combo though.

Wild violet with white interior !!!! 33 years later it's worth a bomb, just might be the same with this colour combo

It mightnt be my cup of tea - but someone will like it and Im not going to bag it just coz I dont.

Cmon everyone - we are car enthusiasts - lets appreciate when someone has different tastes or does something out of the norm!!! Thats what makes us who we are. We DONT like stocko cars - paintjobs - engines - interiors.

Thats what I thought??

Menance hey?!? Not a bad colour but like everyone else has said could have changed the stripes to a different colour.
Those pix dont really do that colour justice, in the flesh and blood its pretty alright and stands out like a sore thumb

Haha, I hadn't noticed it until you wrote that, looks to me like it's just water... But I could be wrong ;)

Not sure about that colour, can't say I like it, but I'd really have to see it in real life to make up my mind. However, I do think the orange just doesn't look good with that colour, and I can't see myself changing my mind if I saw that particular combo in real life.

People don't but a GT to be lost in the crowd. You buy a GT to be noticed and you buy it because it is a car with attitude.

I think it looks great, and yes, the colours contrast but that's the idea, to stand out. Just look at the controversy it has stirred here. It won't be forgotten in a hurry.

Having more options is great. The options themselves are not all great. Uniqueness or the ability to stand out is not a good thing if it's for the wrong reasons, and I'm afraid this combo is very very wrong.

Still, I've never been one to stand in the way of other peoples poor taste!

I wouldn't say no if my husband bought me one, but I would change the orange stripes though.

I reckon it's just the stripes.

If the stripes were white as in above PSchop.. it'd be fine.
