It all depends on your point of view. My father in law was color blind. What color would it be to him?

But then most things were a shade of gray to him. You should have seen some of the odd car colors he would come home with. Some were so bad that he could leave his keys in his car and no one would steal it. Of course, his car choices weren't that great either....and lord help you if you rode with him. He couldn't see tail lights very well, so all of the tail lights had better be working on the vehicle in front of him or he wouldn't stop until he was inches from their bumper. He sat so close to the steering wheel that he put an ashtray with sand in the base directly in front of him on the dash and never had to take the cigarette out of his mouth while driving! God bless his soul. He died of lung cancer, though we all thought he would be killed in an auto accident before that disease would get him.

Everyone in the USA is forced to have a red Forza aren't we? Kind of like the Ford Model T, came in any color you want as long as it was black. Everyone in red. Feels like Soviet Union in the Cold War eh comrades?

Not really, there was probably more to it than that, but I'm no expert.

Living in the USA, mine is red. But I really like the color and I hope that it makes me more visable and also, it matches my red Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. Besides, I have not seen another Forza on the road so it doesn't matter that they are all red here in the US.

I did like the look of the silver/matt grey PCX but some people have said grey blends in too much with the tarmac/road surface and is less visible. May or may not be true.
