I assume we've all seen Rick's drone footage?
If not, this;
It does offer a great comparison of colours, relative to one another.
I'm not sure which is the loudest cop-bait colour now... move over Race Red, because Grabber Blue and Yellow Splash are hard to miss!
Thanks for shooting this video.
It provides a great overview of the colour differences.
Dumb question: Why do some vehicles have a strip of white film across the front of the hood?
Nope.
He did not say that at all.
It was his opinion that the engine was "set reasonably far back".
Compared to what?
There was no comparison to anything.
And why would Ford redesign and shift engine bay components if they didn't have to.
If they did, this would have been a major talking point...
I'll second that!
I'm torn between Oxford White and Rapid Red... simply cannot decide, despite visiting stealerships used lots and looking at S550s to get an idea of colours. In the ideal world they'd have one of each, side by side for an instant comparison!
From what I've read, the yanks can...
Before painting the roof, I would imagine the complete car has to be masked off by humans very carefully.
How?
A skirt that is taped along the roof line edge and falls down to the floor?
And then what?
Two robot painters (perhaps just one) spray the roof.
It then rolls along the conveyor belt...
When is Rapid Red not Rapid Red?
... when it's "Red Carpet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat".
As found on the new '24 Lincoln Nautilus.
Same paint code: D4.

That's funny, because us Aussies say that about you Yanks! :giggle:
We're quite happy the Canadians are Alpha testers, and you lot south of the border are the Beta testers.
All the new-generation production bugs should be sorted by the time RHD vehicles roll off the line... but then we suffer a...
I never got why the manual cannot be remote started, providing the obvious parameters are met.
The control module knows if it's in neutral, or not.
It also knows if the handbrake is on, or not.
This would be the typical parking arrangement in a typical garage, just like leaving an auto in...
FYI...
Ford Canada have been updating their YouTube channel recently with how-to videos depicting the S650 GUI.

The benefit is quite simple.
It allows the manufacturer (presumably B&O) to have one universal PBA (Printed Board Assy) inside the entertainment system module, instead of having to manage many physical variants.
Just like the FM radio band is completely different in Japan and Russia and the...
I don't know why people waste their time watching these YouTuber fanboys.
They're either click bait or just out to inflate their own egos with opinion and BS.
Some of these guys take forever to actually get to the point of the video title, padded out
with attention seeking. And some of them...
Agreed.
It seems a bit OTT to have 3 neutral grey shades; Ingot Silver, Dark matter Gray and Carbonized Gray. One of those has to go, surely?
Bye bye also to Grabber Blue and Yellow Splash, and that would make room for an Orange, Green and Purple.
I originally asked the question... wondering...
"Mischievous Purple
This one hurts my heart. Along with Eruption Green, Mischievous Purple was among my favorite colors offered for the 2022 model year. This color is absolutely stunning in direct sunlight and immediately reminds me of the 2004 Mystichrome Cobras and Midnight Purple Nissan...
Yep, with a "u" (let's get that out of the way!)
Some colours never go away, Oxford White, Race Red, Shadow Black, etc.

Which of the MY24 GT colours would you expect NOT to see again on subsequent years?
Would Yellow splash be a MY24 only...
