Essentially they don't want someone driving around in a car of a color combination they consider to be ugly under the notion that other people will see it and be turned off from buying one of their own.
I would humorously joke about weird color combinations for products, usually made up of pieces already in the inventory. The humor wasn't much appreciated.

I went into a local Ford dealer today to get a feel for the various options on a Mustang (don't have one now, want to order the 2013). The sales guy told me to my face that I'm lying about a 2013 order guide being available to view. I wasn't even arguing with him about it, I just wanted to sit in a GT500 with leather Recaros (very nice btw) and look at the wheels and spoilers and whatnot. It's like he didn't want my money...

edit: if u don't feel like going back, go to their website under Quick Contact, and write what happened, they usually take what you write there seriously and someone who knows what there doing will call you.

Also, I think I'm being pre-judged due to my age when I walk into the dealership. I'm under 30 and I think that they think I'm just messing around? Next time I'm tempted to start the conversation with "Hello <sales person name>, how long have you been selling cars?"

Right after I walked away from that guy, I went to the very nice girl at the front desk and asked if there is anyone that's a mustang guy that works there. 4 people, 3 of whom were some type of manager I think, walked up and all started arguing over who is the biggest 'mustang guy' that works there. Next week I'm gonna give him a call

I've been in that boat as well (26 here). Most of the time if you go in, don't act cocky, and show you know what you're talking about, they'll deal with you. I had no problems shopping for a 2010 or 2011 and getting talked down to. Don't be afraid to walk though. Spending your money on a car is one of the biggest purchases in your life, you should find someone who will respect you during that process. I was fortunate to have a recommendation for a dealer and sales guy that was fantastic.

They can't stop that anyway. Audi for example knows this and is smart enough to make money off of it instead of belittling their clients. For $2500 they factory paint your car in ANY color you want.

Correction: they are calling the material on the seats something different from Carbon. Miko which as you stated seems to be a suede insert of some sort. my bad.

Dogiebitt, I can't believe that one salesperson argued with you over the order guide. He obviously doesn't do his job all that well if he's not looking on the Ford dealer site much.

seat for tall people
first post,
hi to all
congrats to the persistence of your car makers producing big powerfull and reliable engines compared with relative simple car which every reasonable experienced blacksmith (including me ) around the corner can repair
instead of our in many aspects overdone, co2 freaking, downsized "hightech" cars which they called "premium"
I´m really like those newer Stang´s but I have not enough legroom and my knee bumps on the panel. a few days later i recognized at a chevy dealer that chevy export now their Camaro in Europe edition to us and really i´ve much better legroom and seat is going more down and more backwards.....but the frontscreen is so flat i´ve problems to look straight ..but perfect suncover
so what i like to know is if the Recaro´s give a bit more adjustment range for tall people ? i´m 6,56" ... but the stang is a big car and there is enough space to the rearseat.
another bad thing is the missing teleskop steering wheel and i did´nt goes up enough...a bit to near to the leg´s .... all in all not comfortable sitting in that usual configuration.

My god... All this whining about certain colours and combos... The Mustang is not a bespoke vehicle. It is a mass market, high-volume vehicle. To make money, you have to limit options to the consumer. Plain, simple and easy to understand. If Ford were to offer a bespoke Mustang you'd easily add $100,000 to the price. So if you don't see what you like for 2013, get your order in for 2012, and stop crying about it already!
