Is it me or is the current colour choice for the facelift Formentor just a bit uninspiring? I’ve got a pre-facelift Asphalt Blue VZ2, maybe a bit too dark but at least the pre-facelift range had Desire Red (even though you had to pay extra for it unlike I believe on the Leon?). I was thinking to get red for the next car.

I’m looking at getting another Formentor - the single no extra cost, Fjord Blue is a strange colour and Dark Void (purple) just a bit non-resale friendly and, well, a strange choice. Other that that it’s monochrome from White to Black via Grey and also matt brown (OK, Bronze - and I’m not paying £2K for paint). Where’s Desire Red, or any Red for that matter? Forest Green on the Born VZ is a nice colour too, as is Aurora Blue.

Anyone had a sniff or a sneak preview of the 2026 colours? Indeed are there likely to be any changes as I don’t think the palette ever changed for the pre-facelift?

Funny enough I was watched a snip of 5th Gear reviewing a VW Thing.

Comments were - Bring back buttons, info system is rubbish but the all agreed the color choice was rubbish.

Dont know about the new model but i have to agree the choice of paint is very poor.
