T-dubz Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) new spy shots give a glimpse of a new orange color. It’s hard to tell if it’s the same shade of orange as the dealer leak. Maybe it just had different lighting? It looks a bit different to me. I wouldn’t buy orange to begin with, but I think a darker shade would look better. A dark reddish copper would look pretty good.

T-dubz Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Yeah, kinda looks like school bus yellow, but I think it’s the cyber orange metallic. Edited April 23, 2020 by T-dubz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the exterior, I just hope it’s offered with some bigger tires and different wheels. All the wheels we have seen are ripoffs of the Jeep renegades wheels and the tires just seem too small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have a deposit on a Mach-E. I could see myself going with a Bronco or Bronco sport. I like what I’ve seen of all three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like someone went through quite a bit of trouble to show the color. Are we sure this isn't photoshopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a preproduction vehicle so they applied the camo on the paint but they have to leave the seam because the doors and hood has to be able to open. maybe if they had more time, they can wrap the door handle too but someone probably had to clock out that day by 5 pm ? Previous camo were done on prototype and they are typically just painted with primer so you don't see the seams where the camo wrap end at the edge of each panel.

I'm thinking they could have just wrapped the camo around the edges to hide the paint. Not only that, why did they even bother to camo it when the other pics without camo have been seen weeks ago?

tzach Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This has a black roof and the one from the dealer presentation had a white roof, I wonder if you can get a color match roof as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct sir. You won't see those all-weather tires coming onto OEM tires any time soon as the price and MPG numbers are just too important. One can see the review on the OEM tires on Tire Rack and it's easy to see a pattern that the rolling resistance or the MPG is good, but terrible at a lot of other things. I still remember laughing so much from an article at thetruthaboutcars that it's the smartest idea to replace the tires with the same ones that was originally equipped.. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are new vehicles getting 4 and 5-start vehicle crash ratings if the stock tires are so bad? Not disputing your claim, just something that on the surface seems odd. They should definitely be lowering the rating if these cars are using low-traction tires to gain extra MPGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash ratings are based on the results after the impact, not avoidance. Hence the term crash rating.
