I am with him on this one! This guy has a new Red 5.0
and sat in my '13 SS and said after he could lower the seat and not only tilt but telescope the steering wheel, said I wish my Mustang did that. Then proceeded to say how much he wanted a '14 SS.

Before ordering the 1LE, I looked at the 2013 Boss 302, other than the track performance advantage of the 1LE, I did not like any of the Boss colors.

Deep impact blue looks hideous on a explorer but appears to look alright on a mustang.

I like a lot of the mustang colors in passing...but it's not something I want to be married to.

When I was on the hunt for my Camaro I was searching for Summit white, and after a month of not finding what I was looking for, I went with Ashen Gray... now, I'm not saying our color options suck, but they just don't have the same 'sports car' or 'muscle car' appeal... they seem too bland to me... anyone else feel the same way? I kinda outlined it like this to my dealer, and take no offense, it's just my opinion:

"Black is too hard to maintain, yellow belongs on Corvettes, IOM isn't orange enough, red is the cliche' sports car/muscle car color, silver is kinda bland, IBM isn't a bright enough shade of blue..."

Synergy green, kinetic blue, ABM, awesome colors... Summit White reminds me of Camaro heritage thanks to the 67o and 69 pace cars...

I dunno, just an observation... am I alone?

I agree. Mustang has much better options. Other than yellow, the current Camaro colors are just bland. Long standing problem with GM colors.

At least they are not as prone to peeling off as they used to be...

Yep... I'm just traditional on it... IOM is too red for me...

I didn't say the Mustang had better styling... I said it had better colors... I'd still buy a Camaro, and that's why I did, but Chevy could really stand to include some more desirable color options...
