Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

I've said it before and I gotta say it again. Dragon Green is the best color. All the smooth lines combined with the simple fact that it has fangs!! Then there's the growl.
I realize that as of now Proton has won. However, the main reason I never liked the Proton was emblazened in my mind when my son came up to me all excited that he had seen 2 "trucks like you have" in the Walmart parking lot, side by side. When I got there to my disappointment I saw twin yellow "trucks". One actually said VX in the grill and was bright yellow. It's twin was the same color yellow but was one of the more rare versions of VX. It had a blue oval in the grill and said Escape on its butt.

I want a t-shirt that says: "TRD all thats missing is U!" on the back and a VX on the front.

A Ford Escape attempting to impersonate a VX? Should we feel flattered or be appalled?
Super VXer
I like the new Escape, however, i'm appaled that they basically blatantly stole the Isuzu catch phrase. They changed one letter.

Nope.
Ebony is currently over 26%

And seems to me that the poll is for the COMBO and not just the exterior color....

And with NO COMBO choice for some colors people are just voting on the exterior.And seems to me that the poll is for the COMBO and not just the exterior color....
Ebony is the clear leader...

Curiously, do people pick their actual color/combo or what is their favorite (even if they do not own it). I can't imagine THAT many people preferring the orange interior.
Some cars look absolutely stunning in glossy black! That is... when they are clean. Keeping them clean is a full time job (if you care about your car). After owning a couple of black cars, that I cared about, I swore: NEVER AGAIN!
Having said that, VX is particularly the wrong car for that color! I think that contrasting claddings is one of the better VX design points, THAT is what truly sets it aside from most other SUV's. IMO, black VX look totally different from the rest of the (contrasting) colors! People who actually prefer a black VXs, must view VX very differently from the rest of us.
So who is the clear majority now?

You can get that contrast on a black VX by letting the cladding fade

Honestly, I picked Foxfire, but I think the Dragon is the most attractive, and the Proton was the color that initially turned my head!
I think it really depends on what you want out of the vehicross... if you want pow,.. then the Proton (I really do enjoy the bright Yellow in the last two decades trend). If you want class, the Dragon. And if you want just downright sexy, the maroon of the Foxfire was enough to sell even my very negative wife on the car.
What about white and black? Black is cool, tough and unfortunately the downside of needing to be clean to shine is just too rough on me (I own a black sporttrac). White? White is striking with the cladding, but tend to look dingy off road, and doesn't match the interior well.
Inside I'd prefer the red trim, but I have a foxfire, and unless I do it custom, they don't come that way.
Frankly, after all said and done, if I ever have to paint etc... sunset copper Orange - which most people hate.
Color is subjective - what I live about the Vehicross is 'stock' it really is just about the only differentiating characteristic of a very cool vehicle.

proton still in the lead
