First time I saw this colour on the C8.

There’s a high end sports car tour group that goes by me regularly, last year they had a red C8 that I thought looked awful with the other cars, but last week I saw they had one exactly like your pic and it had the roof down and definitely held its own.  Without doubt the best looking one I’ve seen, although I thought the colour was even brighter looking in person.  Don’t think I’d get it myself, but it did look amazing!

First C8 i saw in the flesh had the base red colour - Torch Red - and i thought it looked awful as well.  The one i saw last week had the upgrade red - Red Mist Metallic - and it looked fantastic.  Funny the difference a colour can make.  Worth the $1500 upgrade imo.

Beast of a car! More at home on the track than the street though I'd say.

For sure. Beautiful car though, and that new shark blue colour is outstanding.

Saw one here too - Ford Grabber Blue  :stick: - and the moron on board had the thing in sport mode through a 40 km/h traffic-calmed residential neighborhood. Snap, crackle pop on (manual?) downshift for good measure. I wait for the highway to engage moron modes  ;D

Saw a red one recently.  It was my first experience with not digging the new look.  It looked boy racer cartoonish.  But the others I have liked.

They still make the GT3 Touring which gets a wing delete and looks more normal.

Week of debut cars for me.

Saw my first Ford Maverick yesterday. By the Oakville plat, no front plates. Looked really, really good. From a distance it looked like a smaller, more modern, lower F150. This one was blue and probably the XL as the bumpers were unpainted. Just how I would spec one.

All three trims have unpainted bumpers.

My Ford dealer neighbor has been bringing home a string of Bronco Sports and Mach-e's recently, but last evening he came home with a Big Bronco, 4-door in yellow with black roof. First one seen in the wild!

Escape-based Bronco Sport is smaller.
