Mark B. Morrow Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The Atlantis Green looks Black until the sunlight hits it. Reminds me of stories of how the moonshine runners preferred dark Green to throw off the Revenuers because it looked Black at night and Green the next day.

stevea26 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Now did you go all the way and get the brown seats? LOVE IT by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Eh, doesn't do anything for me, but to each his own. I agree with Mark in saying it looks almost black unless in direct sunlight - it's like Dark Ink Blue in that aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keoni Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I had my heart set on Candy Apple Red till I saw this: It is a remarkable color. I spotted a Fusion Hybrid in Atlantis Green and I asked the owner if it was black but then quickly retracted by saying "Never mind, it is Atlantis Green." They were impressed. Great color but it is deceiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro-man Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I love that. The color of a forest at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewfanGRB Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Absolutely gorgeous car! From the color to the sweet wheels. I soooo very torn right now. I can't possibly afford a properly equipped SHO, but I am not sure if I can wait 5 years until the Fusion is paid off and gives me a decent downpayment. Chances of picking up a used '10 SHO in 3 years?? Somewhere between 0 and none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherminator98 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Now did you go all the way and get the brown seats? LOVE IT by the way. Not yet, I won't be able to afford one till 2013 or so, which should be the last year for the current car, but will have the updates that are supposed to be coming in 2012. The other thing I like about the car, but is also sorta going against it is that I had a 98 Mustang GT that was nearly in the same color.

nelsonlu Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I like it, it looks awesome. It does, but it is dark, and as commented above, would look like black in the night. It is for that reason why I decided not to get my Fusion Hybrid in Atlantis Green and opted for Light Ice Blue. (I probably would have gotten Moss Green if it were still available.)

blksn8k2 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 One of my friends at work is planning to buy an SHO in Steel Blue. He had one on loan from a local dealer for a day or so and was really impressed. He liked the interior and electronics as much or more than the power.

It is for that reason why I decided not to get my Fusion Hybrid in Atlantis Green and opted for Light Ice Blue. (I probably would have gotten Moss Green if it were still available.) personally i think ALL the SHO colors suck, best looking is the silver which blends with the over the top and un-necessary fog lamp chrome to mention one aspect. NONE of the colors have POP, the tux black looks like regular black covered in dandruff, the green for all intents and purposes comes off as black 99% of the time, Steel Blue????? Chick color, nice but TOO understated, I had hopes for the red, but as a red it sucks too, looks somewhat washed out.....Colors SHOULD have been more distinctive, ditch the Tux and give me a regular Black, a Ferrai red, and PLAIN white are all go too colors, then an Ink Blue, Silver of course, maybe a Midnight Grey for the more conservative...but as it sits, for a flagship, NONE of the colors turn heads....handsome for sure, but personally i am dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 but as it sits, for a flagship, NONE of the colors turn heads....handsome for sure, but personally i am dissapointed They should use the Molten Orange from the Raptor on the SHO.

Sherminator98 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) but as it sits, for a flagship, NONE of the colors turn heads....handsome for sure, but personally i am dissapointed I dunno, always looked at the car as a sleeper or understated performance. I rather not have a car that says "look at me!!!" when I'm driving it...guess thats why I have a Spoilerless GT that could pass for a V6 mustang when its moving and you can't see the 18 inch wheels on it.

I like Steel Blue, I don't care what you way about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 so would you rather have colors like Molten Orange, Grabber Blue etc? I like Steel Blue, I don't care what you way about it. Nope...just more eyecatching....Ford has had some excellent colors over the years, the colors they opted for the SHO are just BLAH...SHO should turn heads.....

Deanh Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 so would you rather have colors like Molten Orange, Grabber Blue etc? I like Steel Blue, I don't care what you way about it. Steel Blue looks good on the Flex....should not be on a car deemed a flagship, not exactly a color that shouts excitement IMO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I also think they should have upped the styling ante a tad as well....stealth is ok...just SOMETHING totally unique, anyone can add a spoiler and wheels to ANT car.........hate to sat it....hood vents or front valance ram air, or....just SOMETHING....dont get me wrong, I love the car, but it has a serious case of ho hum....

I totally agree with the Piazza thing for the SHO...they should take a look at the 1st Gen SHO as how to do it....it had a nice body kit on it that wasn't too over the top...I could do without the "slicer" wheels though.

My local dealer has a Steel Blue Taurus Limited - I think it looks/ would look great in that color. In fact, I would probably end up choosing that color.
