From: Ladner,Canada
Canadian version (if it makes any difference?)

I see we are offered 3 interior cloth color options

a:medium parchment (light brown?)
b:light graphite
c:dark charcoal

The parchment is out of the running (not a big fan of brown) so its between the other two.Im leaning towards the dark charcoal (easier to keep clean looking) but what do you guys think?

ps:would be with silver satin metallic exterior

I don't like the cloth seats on the V6 at all..

instead of the running ponies they have "Mustang" printed over and over

if you must have cloth I say get dark charcoal

I wonder if the parchment cloth interior in the V6 and GT are the same shade. The pix posted in timeline for the V6 look more like tan whereas other pix that Brad has posted from car shows look lighter - almost a cream color for the std V6 Deluxe version and the GT. I'd prefer that lighter shade. I'm leaning toward V6 Premium in Windveil Blue with Parchment (if it's light enough) cloth interior and IUP. I'd love to get a set of blue floormats and maybe an aftermarket replacement of the charcoal door insert with a shade of blue.

All the colors in the GT and V6 cloth should be same shade. I've seen most fabric samples of all the colors in the dealers option book, except for the dark charcoal. The Mustang and the Pony fabic are the same color. The samples of the parchment (really a tan color) and the light graphite in the book are quite a bit darker than most of the the pics show on the website. I recommend stopping by the dealer and taking a look at this book.

I agree the leather is nicer, but any color shade concerns about the fabric will also apply to the leather. Unless the book is wrong, the lighting and shade varations between it and the pics on the website isn't subtile.

It's possible that Ford changed the color between the pre-production cars and the production cars. The current photos on the timeline page are the production photos.

However, it's equally possible that the lighting in the production photos is misleading. Hope that clears things up.
