Having an opinion that's different from yours isn't trolling. Color is probably the most subjective choice you can make in a vehicle. He didn't like performance blue, but based on the number of people buying that color it seems plenty popular.
That being said, I ordered PB back in September after having only seen a small color swatch. The dealer had a mustang in VB and I thought it was simply too bright.... Some might say feminine. After some photos of PB started to show up, I was second guessing myself. At first, it really came across as powder blue. Gross. But the more photos I saw the more I noticed the color shift. Last week I was at my dealer to pick up a part and saw an Edge ST in PB. I'm sold. It's just a great color and I'm happy I chose it.
The real reaction will be when I take delivery, which will hopefully be soon. Truck is being built on Tuesday!
