I can see why Ford discontinued this color...

[Matt228]

...it really looks terrible when you shine it up

They say geniuses pick the colour green

 

[sciond]

or they are reminiscing about green M&M's....

 

[LukerDooker]

..wanted green , settled for black, no green Ltd on the lot...very nice...

 

[txaggie]

Oh, yeah totally hate the color!!

 

[JohnBoyToo]

Our first Excursion (2002 limited) was a dark green that many called black it was so dark - we liked it !

 

[txaggie]

I had a 99 Ford Contour SVT in that green color, rare and I really liked it.

Ya, I hate green Fords! Who'd ever buy one?!?!?!?

Green gem was my top choice..there was none out there when I bought so I took the blue. I really like the sunset color and am curious about the new dark side..couldn't tell from the color chip.

 

[Matt228]

Our dealer searched and searched for a green one and couldn't find one. It was my wife's first choice whike i would have been been happy with blue. We finally just ordered one and I couldn't be happier with the color.

ive only seen one on the road, but it looked good imo, not for me, but it looked good.

 

[DoraThe_Explorer]

My vote is for green!

 

[Azazell64]

I've never actually seen one in this color in person. I don't mind that at all, looks good guys.

 

[Matt228]

I've only seen 3 others on the road.

The green Ford Explorer is the best color I'd say. There's a reason why a lot of the 2nd gens I've been seeing are green. It just makes you happy! (Well, scientifically, green is a happy color, that's why they try to paint the walls green in hospitals)

 

[liratoad]

Phew!! So they dc'd the Green Gem, eh?? We special ordered from the factory and waited and waited for EXACTLY that color...obviously we didn't really want it. And yeah, it looks just awful in the woods...

I am a bit of a green freak. Last 4 new Fords have been green (96 Explorer, 99 F-150, 04 Explorer, 07 F-150). When we ordered the 13 Explorer we got Deep Impact Blue and broke trend. In bright light the green looks good but less lighting or overcast it is just a tad on the dark side for me.

 

[1995E]

So why did they discontinue that color that almost every 2nd gen Explorer I see had it? It's like an iconic color. I mean, the Ford is trying to go greener right with their fuel efficient Explorer afterall.

While a great looking truck and color, the color "GREEN" scores pretty low in the resale used car market among buyers.

I would like to see the sales figures. Money would be the one deciding factor in canceling a product. I like the green. Sharp looking. Resale doesn't come into play with Corporate decision making does it? I thought they would only be interested in new unit sales.
