New Grabber Colors?

So, 2007 was the year for Grabber Orange. (I'm sooooo HAPPY!)

Has anyone heard if there will be any new Grabber colors for 2008 or beyond?

Also, who wants to bet if Grabber Orange will be 2007 only? How many model years would Ford traditionaly offer a color like this before it is discontinued?

Grabber Orange is back for 2008, but there aren't any other Grabber colors on the 2008 palette.

Ugh they need to drop the DOT orange and bring back competition orange-basically the color that all the heavilly filtered photos of grabber orange try to represent...The top pic is a dead ringer for CO, and nothing like grabber.

I dont think that most of the pictures you see of G.O are filtered, its just that the color changes dramatically depending on the available light.

At high noon on a bright and sunny day the car looks yellow. It barely has any orange shade to it at all. Same thing happens under many street lights...the orange goes away and the car look yellow.

But if its an overcast, cloudy day or the sun is getting low in the sky, or you park in the shade, then it really becomes orange. That when it looks its best.

All of us G.O. owners look forward to dusk. ;-)

It's a MYCOLOR mustang!

It would be so cool to press a button on the dash and change the color of the car!

I really like Grabber Orange (it's my second fav next to Vista) that being said I really like the grabber blue one, the green is too much for me but a nice vibrant (less orange) Red would be nice too.

There's one on the grass across the street from me(its been there for a bit). I'll pass too on that one. With as few colors as the Mustang is offered in(once you subract the obligitory 4-5 greys and silvers) I can think a few better colors...

The grabber doesn't look too bad if its broken up with black(as most do). Even the one I have in stock I had the CDC shaker and black chin spoiler added, looks much better.
