Charcoal Leather with Plum Inserts is a new interior option for Premium models, but is only available with the Lava Red paint.
Reverse Sensing System finally available (as part of a security package).
Any idea if the security package is available with the Boss?

If true, this is awful news. That means in order to get the HID's you are stuck with those horrendous idiot sensors on the bumper.

[QUOTE=Overboost;5965908]I thought order banks opened on 11/8, not 11/18.



11/8 is also the date I've read for the order banks to be active.

Don't worry, there are 2 different security packages in 2012. One has the HID's, while the other has the reverse sensing system.

Order banks have been open for over a week now. I've already ordered a couple 2012 Mustangs. However, pricing is not showing yet and a message pops up saying that 2012's aren't available to order yet even though my orders went in successfully. So, I suppose that 11/8 will be the day that pricing starts showing up in the order banks and Ford releases the actual order guides.

Understood, but how exactly from a marketing standpoint does Red, replace Grey?

For you dealer guys, the plum inserts, are those a 401A type seat that they're being put in?

Thanks for the clarification. Do you know/have any idea when the dealers will be informed on whether they have been allocated/"won the lottery" for a Boss?

My wife is going to order a V6 MCA but she really wants a SelectShift Automatic™ transmission and HomeLink. Is there any reason to wait for the 2012 model?

Well, I was curious what Lava Red would look like. I found the new color on a limited edition Harley Davidson ford pickup. The write-up said this "The paint selection is classic Harley-Davidson – Tuxedo Black and the first Ford application of Lava, a deep maroon with three-color metal flake."
It also shows the plum colored leather that would be in seats. They are much more of a burgundy with purple tones versus a purple color that i first thought of. the red accent stripes look nice though and would be cool as the color for the over the top stripe on the mustang.

Reminds me of the old (1992) T-Bird color, Plum. At night it looked black, in the shade it was purple and in the sun it was burgundy.

Don't know and I'm not happy with the decision as I really liked Sterling Gray. All we get for greyscale colors in 2012 are black, ingot silver, and performace white (all of which are carryover colors from 2011).

Kona Blue, Grabber Blue, Yellow Blaze, Race Red, and Red Candy also carryover from 2011.

Tuxedo Black (metallic) is available on many other Ford vehicles already, but not on Mustang - not even in 2012.
