Question Sonic Blue or Dark Shadow Grey?

I'm going to order an 03 at the first of the year. I'm going crazy trying to figure out what color to buy. I've seen a few pics of the Dark Shadow Grey and they looked awesome but I'm not sure if it will look sporty enough. I've yet to see any of the Sonic blue. I've been to the dealer about 10 times looking at the 03 Cobra in Sonic blue and trying to visualize that color on a truck. On the Cobra and Focus it looks great but how will it look on a truck? Has anyone seen pics of the Sonic blue L yet?

Also, if anyone has any pics at all of any 03's please post them here.

Pete

Sonic Blue, having seen the Grey in person, it was really bland plain boring looking.

To each his own though

IMHO

go with Sonic Blue.. otherwise you'll just look like a small Harley Davidson.. same color.. not different enough...

my favorite is black though...

I went with the Grey, the Sonic Blue has a little too much purple for me, but I would like to see a pic tho.

The true blue is a great color. I like the sonic blue on the Cobra and Focus but need to see it on the Lightning. The DSG makes me nervous that it will look like a HD and not an L. Hmmmmm decisions decisions decisions.

I would go with DSG. The sonic blue will be just like the '03 Cobra's - everyones got one. I have yet to see a different color Cobra on the road.
To bad they don't make true blue anymore... glad I bought mine when i did.

Now that actual 03's are popping up what are your opinions on these colors? I love the Sonic blue but now seeing a dark shadow grey I love that one too. I'm thinking of Sonic blue for the fact after Zaino it will have more of a shine and more depth than the Dark shadow grey.

Here's a good measure to go by - if your over 30 think twice about the blue -

If your over 40 stay clear of the blue, otherwise everywhere you go people will be talking about how your having a mid-life crisis - (behind your back of course)

Seriously though - sonic blue is for the younger guys - us older folks should stick with the more traditional colors black, white, gray...

Think about this your over 35 or 40 and you and your middleaged wife want to go out for a nice dinner some saturday evening and you pull into the parking lot of the fancy restaurant in a sonic blue L - Hmmmmmmmmmmmm somehow that just doesn't work...

Red and Sonic blue are for the kiddies...

I fear purple vehicles. When I picked up my L, the dealer said I dont think we'll sell any Sonic Blue L's but I bet they sell a ton of them in San fran!!!

I am only a college kid so cannot afford much, my used 1998 F-150 is Pacific Green, it looks decent. If I had my choice, I would go Sonic Blue though over DSG. Every person has to pick the color for them though, I just think DSG looks kinda boring, I'm only 22 though.

I didn't mean to offend anyone by saying that DSG is boring in that last post, I hope I did not and I hope you all forgive me for saying it if it did offend you.
