Has anybody seen a paint chip for "Neo" yet, it is due to be released in July and I know it is somewhere between Velocity and Blueprint.

I've seen it in person, looks a bit like offshore. Also seen a new orange. Just like they mixed blood orange and rapid together. Very average.

What. Mandarin was discontinued more than a year ago. This is new, sort of like the electric orange of the Focus bit with a bit more yellow and non metallic. : Sort of like this orange on the smilely.

Mandarin is the metallic orange colour, if I'm not mistaken. I was following an XR8 ute in that colour on the way home from work the other day.

There is a new orange coming out, cant remember the name, but IMO it's absolutely awful. Looks like the 1970 taxi colour.

That blue looks average. I think the best blues so far have been Narooma and Shockwave.

I would like to see a NON metallic light grassy green (not fluro like Toxic though). And also a non mentallic emerald green. Not too dark. Also a non metallic dark purple.

To many blues can make it hard to pick the years between models.
