So for 2012 they are offering 3 different shades of red, the least desired and ordered color on a car these days, but dropping the Sterling Grey, one of the most common and most desired colors (along with the black and white color from which grey is made) they had.
Wow, talk about a bad decision Ford.
3 shades of Red
2 shades of blue, one of which looks purplish in some light and angles and the other is kind of a baby blue.
A new shade of Yellow (blaze) another very undesirable and mostly unwanted color.
Good job Ford, what next, drop white for green, another color only abou 1% of the population would want?
Glad I got the Sterling Grey in my 11' when I could.
Back up sensors too, to go along with the back up camera.....in a MUSTANG. Gads...anybody that feels they need a back up camera and back up sensors in a performance minded car, just needs to forget about the Mustang and order a minivan.
Geez, in a performance car you'd think their priority would be to at least give the auto paddle shifters or a "auto stick" on the floor, before worrying about geezers who can't back up without looking at a camera AND needing sensors to tell them they are about to back into something in a CAR made for performance. LOL

Personally, I want the camera. I have a 2 car garage but one side is a workshop and the last thing I want is to back over a jack, bike, skateboard etc. that one of my pre-teen boys forgot to put away.
$230 A-Plan for a backup camera beats a $500 rear bumper job. Just like the electronics package, if you don't want it, don't get it. The same argument can be made for paddle shifters and manumatics, if you want to shift, buy a manual instead of having a computer shift for you.

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.

im having to rush to order an 11, i figured i would just wait till spring. that new red looks like sh$t. i wanted gray. so im gonna try and order in the next week or so. the insurance on the 2011 is cheaper than my 2003 lol. go figure.

I have been reading your posts and was worried that i would not be able to order my fully loaded sterling grey 2011 mustang GT in January or February, so I called a close friend of mine that OWNS a Ford dealership. He says I have at least to April and as late as May to order a 2011 mustang. So I was curious were people are hearing this info?

I'm actually happy to hear about the reverse sensors. The reverse camera is out of the question since I don't want the required wing. I'm looking forward to some bells & whistles since I've been driving SN95 Cobras for the last 15yrs.

How about the CS option, is that available for 2012? If so, is the brembo/P-Zero option available with it?
I know the CS wheel has a clearance issue with the brembos, but I was hoping this would be corrected for the 2012 MY.
Here's to hoping,

Hi everyone I'm a new guy here and after reading this thread I am sick . 2012 was going to be my year to buy a new STERLING GRAY 5.0 with brick red interior. I have been waiting for 2 years and now they decided to get rid of sterling gray. Talk about bursting my bubble. What in the world are they thinking about dropping a color as popular as that. I'm venting sorry. I know Ford sure doesn't care what an overwelming customer base wants. I would have also thought they could have upgraded to forged crank,pistons and rods since it's just a matter of time till the bottom end starts coming apart. I'M UPSET.
