Just remember "Lightening Blue" was the first and better blue Ranger. People need to get some color in their life. Too many black, white, silver, grey vehicles everywhere!

Yes, we do. But for years those where the only colors available. It's great to see manufactures offering new colors. Before Eruption Green, when was the last time you saw a new green colored vehicle?

Yep. Used their favorite color for the quick reference guide. :inspect: :dance::turkey:Funny how none of you guys mentioned that to me before.

:bandit:
In 2019 when Rangers come back to the US Saber was the color that Ford most often used in their promotions. Saber vs Lightning blue was really a toss up for me, but I ended up with the blue.
A few years ago the dealer I use had a Velocity blue GT 350 in the show room. I thought it was absolutely beautiful. While Lightning blue is awesome the Velocity blue is too. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of sales numbers for each color.

BTW that blue stang planted a seed in my brain that eventually resulted in me buying a Mustang, but not in blue. Fighter Jet Grey. That is Cactus grey for Ranger and Bronco owners. Don't get us started on weather it looks green or blue or grey. :crazy:

Part of the reason is for colors other than "shades of grey" there is usually an upcharge. To get the red on my wifes Mazda I beleive it was about a $700 upcharge.

Velocity Blue, Lightning Blue, Performance Blue...
I'd have to see them side by side to see the real differences.
Let's not forget the Sonic Blue on the 03/04 REAL F-150 Lightnings :like: I miss my 04 Sonic Blue L :crying:
