Wish it was metallic.

Azure Grey is a metallic tri coat. Someone on MTC posted close up pics that shows the metallic in it. Shows up in sunlight.

I agree! Another example is Copilot 360 vs Copilot 360+ ( adaptive cruise control is inly with +) I mean the kid that sold me mine did not know the difference and during the test drive I almost crashed because it said “ oh yeah it will stop you automatically “ mine does not have ACC… that’s why I like Subaru as a company because they dont nit pick you to death so to speak lol in my case it almost was death… not funny ok

Can't rely on technology to stop you. The people driving are the first line of defense. I think all this technology is making people more careless about driving habits.

Killing off the most interesting colors will do that.
Calling the palette a "Rainbow of Colors" is peak comedy.

Don't see Hot Pepper Red on that list. I know it is available for 2024 because I was upset you could get a XL in it. If my 2023 XLT would not of been built I would of went with a 2024 XL. With the private offer I would of saved money and got my favorite color.

Already addressed it in post 41

Any color that replaces A51 gets my vote. I really don't like it at all. Looks like a primer coat to me that someone forgot to finish the paint job on.

Cactus grey and Terrain remind me of primer too. A primer with clear coat. Someone at my work described it as porch grey paint.

OK, nice. That's what I have ordered arriving in a month or two.
Thanks

Well, a lot of buyers seem to like "Porch Grey"....they are everywhere now on many brands...you see a lot of Toyota's in the slightly darker version. It does wear well with all the Mav interior colors.

Azure Gray is nice but not worth the $ 500 more.

I like the new Azure Grey better, but it's so similar.

Ford probably saw how popular Area 51 was, changed it slightly to make it more expensive and get more $$$.

Not probably. Definitely. Marketing hoping to spin the popularity into more profit. Perhaps they should have called it roswell or meteor grey. But that might have Alenated customers.
Hmm Alienated grey? I do like the color though.

Own area 51 . light enough to not show dirt readily . dark may show dirt more . very happy with 51 .

Is it just me?

None of the current line-up of colors excites me.

This color would excite me

It's just fashion. What comes into fashion goes out of fashion
