I saw the same.... will reserve judgement until I see it in the sun. Ford had a purple Mustang in the mid-90s I really liked.

For those comparing to the C4... it is the same color by name only just like "Admiral Blue" so don't get your hopes up until you see one in person. Black rose was a pretty killer color because it did turn black in some lights and in others really popped.

Big disappointment, especially in the case of AB.

Looks like a Grape on wheels.
And that blue just looks like another variation on Silver.
Very boring.

From the NCM picture it does look more deep reddish than deep purple. Looks like they just tagged an old favorite name to a similar but not the same color, to bad. Can we get the color numbers to see if they are the same or different?

It's been confirmed it's a totally different color just the same name. Same with Admiral Blue.

I would agree but I like it. I can see it with a lite gray interior being more popular than that basketball orange.
