Rivian Blue R1T vs Grabber Blue Mach-E GT a side by side comparison look

My buddy took delivery of a Rivian R1T this past weekend and today I finally got the chance to park my MME next to it. Both blues are beautiful and unique, and both are great vehicles in their own ways. Enjoy!

Until now I’d never describe Rivian Blue as subtle, but side-by-side it is a notably less intense color than Ford’s option.

One of these is wrong and I can't tell which one...

It's very polarizing... I love the Rivian blue but seeing them side by side, I like the Mach-E blue a little more. My wife and friend told me they like the Rivian blue more though side by side.

To each their own i guess

One of the unicorn Allroads.

At this point, any functioning Allroad from that era is a unicorn, haha

Ask C5 Allroad owners about air suspension system problems...

The Mach-E GT Blue is awesome!

Rivian's isn't bad at all, but the Ford's is killer.

I never said anything like this before about the Mach-E but in this blue, in GT-trim, next to a Blue Rivian, specifically, it looks like a Jersey Shore or Miami Beach of my fellow Italian ethnicity should be the owner. Like, maybe this is owned by the son of a guy who is a GC who has done well for himself. Cheap nail polish.

Yeah, so like, what a Mustang should be. My God, Ford has done it in just 1 short year, made the Mach-E a true Mustang.

They're just completely different vibes. One should have a 65 year old early retired tech exec parked outside of an REI and the other should be getting its hair done for 5 hours off the boardwalk. These two would have nothing to talk about over dinner even if their drive trains are both itching to wrestle on the pavement.

Edit: Leaving the Audi out has nothing to do with the fact that I've owned 6 VAG vehicles in my life, I've independently judged it in the moment as worthy of a pass based on purely its merits, which are clearly self-evident, and awesome.

I've strongly desired to see the RB in person, but these side-by-sides help a ton. I'm not a fan of super bright blue cars, so I appreciate seeing how subtle the Rivian color is side-by-side with some of these others.

Compared to the plethora of GRAY that are the most of the other Rivian options, this blue stands out. But compared to other OEM blues, it's far more blue-green/seawater. I dig it.

I almost bought a Grabber Blue Mach-e, but after seeing it in person didn't care for the color as much as I thought I would and contributed to me passing on the deal. Seeing Rivian Blue next to it, I greatly prefer the Rivian and would certainly consider RB if green wasn't available.

That is a nice #2CarSolution. You guys have great taste in cars.

(But I think the Rivian Blue is a bit nicer)
