Our 2013 Ford Focus ST is pretty noticeable in bright yellow, but would you want it in that color?

    I'd go for the red.

    I'm very happy with my classic Ignot Silver; it's a sleeper that nobody sees coming, until it has already passed them...

    The yellow for me. I love a nice deep blue and most reds, but that design just looks so *right* in yellow.

    The yellow on your ST is pretty fantastic (before that I thought yellow only looked good on racing Corvettes) but after one bright green car, one orange car, and now a dark red car, I think I'm due for a really nice blue, and the ST's Blue is indeed very very nice. I'm actually having this debate as a practical matter as an ST, either Focus or Fiesta, may very well replace the Miata when it finally becomes necessary to have a back seat. If I got the Focus ST, it would be a tough choice between the blue and the yellow. (Maybe get blue with custom yellow stripes to solve that dilemma and make my Swedish grandmother proud?) If I got the Fiesta ST, it looks great in blue too but that bright green brings me back to my first car. Thanks Ford, for giving us so many wonderful color choices in a greyscale world.

    Black or blue. Dark colors minimize the expanse of non-functional black plastic that is the front of the car. I would actually like Sterling Gray which I think looks very good on my Focus SEL.

    Performance Blue without question and without hesitation.

    Tangerine Scream looks really cool on the ST, but I wouldn't get it. I saw a black ST this week and I liked how much more discreet it is than the more brightly colored ST's. I would get Performance Blue, because it's a little more interesting than the black ST I saw, but less noticeable than the bright colors, and I like blue cars anyway.

    I've seen it in all available colors, and I think it looks richest in Ingot Silver (although Performance Blue is gorgeous). I do, however, think it would look especially killer in Sterling Grey or whatever Red Candy's called these days (you know, metallic red).

    I would choose yellow. It's much easier to notice in a parking lot.

    I'm very happy with my ST3 in performance blue. I like the tangerine scream too, but figured I'd tire of it after a few years. And although pretty much any car looks good in silver, it's just too boring a color for me.

    I think I'd have to take the blue too. I love black cars and have personally only owned black cars for 11 years. I'm ready for the next car to be something a little brighter. BTW Ford always seems to have some great color options on their performance cars.

    Tangerine Scream, no question. Ingot silver or black? Both are boring, unless you want to look like every other car on the road. Grey? Too dreary. A performance car deserves a performance color.

    There are literally three of these in tangerine scream at my local Ford dealer. I'm not interested. They also have one in blue, one in red, and one in black. The red and black look the best.

    The local dealer has a used ST with a bit over 2K on it- Screaming Yellow. Nice car; I'm trying to rationalize buying it- since it's used, I wouldn't be helping the UAW to any significant degree, I'd think. I haven't run a domestic for a work beater since 2007; maybe it's time...
