I actually love this, way cooler than that ugly metallic green on the Fords.

And yea, Grabber Blue / Nitrous Blue (was that the RS color?) is hot as gently caress too.

I can't find the source thread, but someone on reddit had the Liquid Blue Fiesta ST that Ford actually used as a promo color alongside the GT, Raptor, and whatever else at that time. Thought this color was very very cool.

Holden had you covered, but turns out selling LS powered sedans and wagons with manual gearboxes in good colours is a mugs game.

Jungle Green


Spitfire Green


Regal Peacock, which is absolutely stunning in sunlight and well underrated.


Other highlights;
Chlorophyll


Perfect blue


Morpheus Purple


Hero orange

Slipstream blue is also good if you want something a little more sleeperish, like maybe this 400kw LSA equipped version.


Although for some reason they didn’t build manual LSA wagons.

gently caress me time to sell the bikes and home theater (also a kidney). Never mind the loan on a 16 year old VW, loan on a donor SS instead coming up.


There are a few times I regret not being good at my job, and this is absolutely one of them.


e: thinking about it, considering what they have to do and how far from factory it really is, it's probably way cheaper and better to get a V70R, CTS-V, one of the Audi's, or tune up a 3/5 series and just have it repainted purple.

My mustang was green. My truck would have been green but they didn't offer it with the sport appearance package. And they brought the color back for 2021 and still don't offer it with sport. God damnit Ford.

lol I owned this exact car as a 1500$ 'beater' (it was in phenomenal shape) between cars years ago (2006-7ish) just post-college and it was a pretty loving solid car. Comfortable, ok fuel mileage, reliable. It wasn't what I wanted but I put a ton of miles on it and sold it for more than I paid for it. It was a 94 so different grille, but same shade and everything.

Mine had the gold rims though haha.

Real jealous of the sweet green cars.

I'm getting my new car in a metallic grey-ish color but I'm thinking about immediately getting it wrapped. Unfortunately it turns out that the two most popular vinyl companies, 3M and Avery, also have pretty lovely green selections. You can get get a bunch of brighter greens but nothing nice and dark like the previous cars.

I traded in my mk2 TTRS for a RS3 this past month. The RS3 is Paint to Sample in British Racing Green, and to my knowledge is either 1:1 in the US or the world. As soon as it showed up from California I immediately put H&R springs and my LM-R's on it, as well as some secondary decat pipes. I have a set of ecode headlights that I intend to put on the car this weekend to remove the amber corners. It's night and day difference compared to the TTRS, couldn't be happier.

The best green car (of the two) was this old girl.

I miss it but the electrical issues that cropped up around the 19 year mark necessitated its departure.

I dated someone years ago who was in the car insurance business and she told me that green cars were statistically more likely to be in accidents. This fascinated me because green isn't really a common colour. I never did ask if they were all being piloted by old people who used to own a BRG something or other in their youth.

Maybe they blend in better and are harder to see at speed or something? Does seem weird. Would’ve thought grey.

I once forgot which level of the garage I parked on at work, and found the car by remote starting it and hearing the 525rpm idle on the floor above me. Bimodal mufflers are great (for engines that sound good in the first place).
