Is this our "Black Jade"?







I know most of us have seen these cars, but since this one is actually from Ford I'm guessing it is (hopefully) a foreshadow of things to come. I always loved this color on the 99s, so I hope they bring it back for 2011!

Thumbs up

I guess it's difficult to tell under the harsh show hall lights, but that looks to be a stunning colour for the 2010.

That's also the first time I've seen all the "stick on Ford options" that actually looks pretty good. Either the colour helps, or the angles the car had been photographed at. Those side graphics would have to go though.

The stance is perfect though

Would love to see the car without all its stupid Ford accessories. Put a GT500 spoiler on it and call it a day.

those wheels look slick

I could go without the graphics and scoop, but a sweet car overall

I hadn't noticed that. Good spot (that photo's a bit dark). That's a GT500 rear diffuser too, isn't it?

These are the sort of subtle changes I want to see on the 2011 5.0....just enough to differentiate it from the 2010

Black Jade.....different front and rear facias......Ford wouldn't be giving us a sneak preview of the 2011, would they?

Wheels are very tight! Color is tight too. Stickers ruin it, but it's SEMA. I think they are required to put some stupid decal on the thing.

I have to say, that color looks like Black Pearl Slate. Its a color that is available on current 2010 Ford Escapes, Explorers, and Sport Tracs. In the sun, its a light black with (to me anyway) hints of green in the color. Its been VERY popular so far.

Here's a better view of the front bumper. Grille is different as well.

Looks like a pretty easy add-on as it retains the mutton chops. Not bad.

Love the color.
