mustangattitude.com has the breakdown by model, but not color. They do list every color that's been offered.

My problem has been deciding on color when ordering a Pony convertible. Without a green or a light windveil blue, I focused on Kona Blue. I think it's beautiful, but with the white stripe from the Pony package, I think the black or stone top looks wrong (I think three is one too many colors). VW/Audi/etc offer blue tops, but that's not an option on the Mustang.

I ended up ordering silver with a black top and a black stripe. It will be great, but it's hard to stop second-guessing myself.

I know the feeling.

You can't go wrong wilth silver/black. It's stunning in its own right but also the best possible pick when in doubt. It always looks good.

Based on history; I'd think Grabber Green will be the next big color. Probably 2012-2013. Gulfstream Aqua would be a nice one too.

We can't keep hoping for throwback colors either. I'd rather see new colors altogether, than a bunch of remakes of 60s-70s colors. I'd like to see them update colors, maybe with a metallic or slightly different tint, but not a direct copy.

There is, but I think it's quite a bit more than 5.

I talked with a GM about it once... that's how Mary Kay and Police vehicles are done... Something like 100 or so... at ONE place. That is, one dealer would have to have the entire 'fleet', and the order paid for. Then they'll do it.

At least... that's what I remember.

Thank you Mike. I like the fact they have annual production numbers... wish they had it broken down by color as well.

Thanks for the reassurance!

BTW, you also can no longer order the V6 convertible with a cloth top, which makes NO sense to me.

Huh... cost cutting measure? That's a bummer...
From my Miata days, I know that the cloth is typically more expensive.

I also noticed that they cut the standard power seat from the Deluxe models too. That's okay with me...but it's still less for your dollar.

That's the weird thing. I'm willing to pay more, but they won't let me!

And it was an option for the '10 V6 convertible, but the '11 . . .

I know the cloth roof was an option on the Canadian 2010 V6, but the US build & price page made no mention of it.

We need another purple. A dark, metallic purple. With black stripes.

Awesome!
Thanks

Wish it went up to 2010, I'm curious how many Grabber Blue units sold last year.
