Bionic's not released yet gran, so it wouldn't have been Bionic in Sydney.

Pre-release most likely Zetec... There are a number of vehicles getting around in the new colours even tho they havent been released.. most are owned by Ford but a few get out to dealers just to see what customers think. I see a new SV6 the other day in a Burnt Orange colour, which isnt going to be released till later in the year... I also remember back before Holden brought the monaro out there were some Hot House Exeutives / S pacs floating around.

I know that, but the fact it's in Sydney leads me to highly doubt that any unreleased colour will be there. Not impossible I guess, but highly unlikely, there's simply no reason. Anyhoo, guess it's not important!! No point me debating it!

that bionic colour looks ok . i'm sure it is very close to some xy and xw falcons out there though . i bet it would look good in gt with black stripes.and tinted windows. wait and see.

Default Here is a Mulberry Metallic XB GT

Maybe one for the ladies though. This colour from the pics looks more feminine than Mulberry did.
Click here for picture

Menace appears to be a lighter shade of Mulberry. I think a GT in Menace with silver stripes would look good.

Yuck.

That has got to be the ugliest car colour I have ever seen.

How many shades of pink and purple does Ford want?

I like it. I hated Citric Acid when it came out.

The XB in Mullberry with white interior looks F**KEN HOT!!!
Its one of my favourite colours the XB came out in.

That Menace colour isn't too flash, The ford dealer that I work at got a menace xr8 ute in 2 weeks ago, its a pretty shocking colour, the rest of the mechanics shared my dislike. If you gotta have purple I think the phantom was the best choice, although I reckon the best colour we have in the mk 11 is the shockwave, we've sold heaps of falcons that colour, doesn't really suite the typhoons though, the typhoon's thin spoke wheels dont provide a large enough contrast, but on the 6's and 8's its awesome

I agree with you, the dealers where i took that pic has an XR8 Ute in Menace atm and it looks a bit odd.

Dont mind it myself and the Mrs thinks its ok too. Dark tint and some decent wheels ( def not purple ones) would make a huge difference. That Bionic is very similar to the old True Blue from XY vintage. Loved Phantom when it came out but its so common now seems like every third XR is that color so good to see some variations, thou have never liked Citric.

yeah you're right.
I saw a turismo blue monaro CV6 the other day at the lights, looked like the VX model of the monaro.

I stopped in at New Oak Ford tonight and they have a new XR6 out the front in Menace. Some one at Ford needs to be sacked for this, then shot. out:
