Hello everyone. I just wanted to see if anyone has seen (and can describe) or taken pictures, etc of some sample of the upcoming Dark Side or Sunset colors for 2014? My wife and I are going to possibly put in an order for the 2014 Fusion on Saturday and I am just curious to see what each color may be like. I know that dealers were sent samples 6 or so weeks ago, but my dealer says they haven't seen the colors, so I figured I would give it a shot here. Thanks!
I've only seen a sorta decent photo of Sunset on BON,
think the Dark Side will require in-person impressions more than pix...
(wonder if it's true the 'ColorCrew' originally named it "Cruisin' for a Bruisin'"?)
If/when you find photos/info, hope you'll post it here too
That would be great! I talked to ford marketing today and they described sunset as burnt orange and dark side is a really dark green. I was hoping dark side was going to include some blue to it. Hopefully we can see them soon!
Has anyone seen anything new when it comes to the colors? I have not seen anything new, but I heard that two planned colors on the super duty were cancelled and moved to 2015. I wonder if that will happen on the other models that were supposed to get those colors?
Here are the colors... the Sunset is a mix of Ruby Red and Copper Sunburst, the Dark Side is very reminiscent of the Subaru Dark Metallic Blue on the '02 WRX
I think I am going to order my 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium in Dark Side. Looks very nice and rich looking. Ordering doesn't start till next week and I was told 8 weeks delivery which if its like fiesta back in 2010 that is a drop compared to my 6 months almost.
My wife and I are also thinking about Dark Side for our 2014 Fusion SE. I just hope its a Blue with depth, and not just like True Blue was. I just thought that blue lacked depth.
Well...went to the local dealer today that got a Sunset and Darkside Explorer in this last week to try and do some deciding. Lets say that nothing has been decided. Its driving me crazy. My wife really likes them both, but likes the Sunset more, which I didn't see coming. Dark side lives up to its name. Very Dark, but I like the uniqueness of it. I'm just worried the Sunset is going to be a dated color in two to three years. Here they are, any opinions are welcome!
THANKS for posting your pix here, MineralStangGT!! :thumb:
re: choosing
imho I'd try to think of a couple years after purchase
&
imho, the DarkSide won't be unique anymore...tho still a Nice dark blue/teal
whereas
the Copper (aka Sunset) will still be a not-so-common color disclaimer: copper is one of my favorite paint colors and my second favorite 'metal' too
even tho I probably wouldn't choose to purchase that strong/bright of color myself
Definitely Dark Side. It's very close to black/blue black that will never look dated. The Sunset looks a bit orange and does not work well with the large yellow and red turn indicators. The Dark Side creates a nice contrast between the lights that make the stand out more.
I see that orange color on Range Rovers and after a few years and they do look very dated. If you are buying, it may be easier to resell a Dark side/blue black car than a Sunset/orange car.
