Easy answer. FORD see's the other manufacturer's (especially TOYOTA) with "Bland" colours. And they are selling. Sooooo, offer more of the same and flood the V-6 Mustang Market with them. It is obvious they are not as interested in the GT market. But rather than to just pump out generic one's to help. After all the Mustang is the ONLY model they have that IS selling. Look for your Rental Agency's to be loading up with them.

Silver metalic should be the best silver shade. Since silver is a metal. What does the current silver look like, in terms of is it attractive or not?
Never mind, I se the post above it discussing that quetion.
What I want otsay is that there seems to be a school of thought that by getting a grey interior or exterior you have a more practical color that doesn't show the dirt. Hence, all the grey interiors.
In my opinion, they just look dirty always, and I don't care for grey. But, hey, that's just me.
I really mioss the old days of white vinyl interiors. Lots of contrast and easy to clean. I wish they'd bring it back.

Time out there Tungsten fans. My son has one too, and I had a Mineral Grey.
My point was they are not adding anything new. Just "shades" of what we already have. All I'm saying is look around you when your out there. Do you see a sharp Toyota colour anywhere, NO. But they are selling. FORD wants that market, or at least a shot at it. They don't have a comparable vehicle, so just give the folks that like them, their colours on the V-6 Mustang, and Fusion's, and flood the marketplace with them. Hey look, we are sort of a cult anyway with our GT's. We will exist through anything. FORD just wants more out there, thats all. Paint is cheaper than Product.

Remember that statement, when the final production numbers are released next year. This is not a new tactic by Car Manufacturer's. If a fleet company (ie Hertz, Avis, National, each says they want 20,000 rental units, that blend in, they will build them. JMHO.

Last year, Toyota's recalls in the U.S. more than doubled as the number of recalls industry-wide registered a slight decline.
Toyota, for instance, finished 2006 with 814,507 recalls, far fewer than the over 2 million that were issued in 2005
Its time TOYOTA stops getting a free ride they aren't bullit proof!
@FLAstangx3, I still do not understand what you are saying. Where are you going with your words?

So before everyone gets into a flame war and starts eating popcorn
let me say that I have never owned a Toyota.
That said, Toyota has a REPUTATION for quality and reliabilty.
We can argue all day about recalls and whatever, but none of your points will matter to the general car buying public.
Toyota's REPUTATION will trump that when it comes time to purchase one.
You may not like it, it may not be fair, it may not even be accurate, BUT that REPUTATION is out there.
They will get a free pass from the general car buying public because of it.
Companies such as Toyota and Honda worked hard to earn their REPUTATIONS, fact is they will benefit from that today and in the future, so they may stumble here and there, but the general car buying public doesn't know, and quite frankly doesn't care.
My response was SO WHAT if they have a year with increased recalls, they addressed it the following year. Besides, I know that by buying a Toyota or Honda, I am practically guaranteed better resale value.
Another way I look at the increase in recalls is that in the case of Toyota, chances are they are being pro-active in issuing a recall, where with a domestic manufacturer, they more likely to deny a problem exists than to issue a recall.
And it does not matter if I am right or wrong, that is the perception that is out there.
