Five Oh Brian

After all of the paint supplier issues after the Japanese tsunami, it should come as no surprise that Ford is having to come up with alternatives. So, as a salesman at a large Ford dealership, I've been keeping a close eye on what offerings various Ford models would be getting.

Imagine my surprise to see Sterling Gray and Sonic Blue making an encore on Mustangs! Both are showing as "late availability" in the order banks so I suspect that we'll get them for Job 2.

I bought my '11 5.0L in Sterling Gray instead of getting a '12 because I really wanted Sterling Gray. Who knew that it would make a return so soon!

Many people have mourned the passing of Sonic Blue over the last few years, so its return should be big news for that crowd, too.

Sonic Blue is showing as an option (late availability) for '12 Boss 302's and GT500's, while Sterling Gray is not a '12 Boss 302 or GT500 offering. Looks like Sterling Gray will be unique to V6 & GT models, while Sonic Blue will be offered on all Mustangs.

Are they displacing some other colors?

Will the Sonic blue replace Kona blue? I hope I get mine before that happens. OTOH black stripes will show much better on Sonic compared to Kona.

Really??? Hot ****! What to do, what to do...

Dam Im slightly disappointed. I really wanted SG with the brickred interior. Kona was my 1st chioce but after seeing it in person it was just to dark for me. Sonic Blue is the perfect color. Oh well. Can't wait to see it in person on a 5.0

Yay for sonic blue coming back

i was at a dealer in naples today. and saw my first lava red.. it was to black. but had cloud cover! it was my dream color..

stangfoeva

wow this is surprising! Can't wait to see a sonic blue boss!

lalayla

Sonic Blue Boss would be amazing I like grabber blue, too. Wish it was grabber instead of kona.

Wow. Sonic is one of my favorite colors on the 05-09, and I'm surprised they'll offer it again. Can't wait to see the Boss and GT500 in it.

Ford should have never stopped making sonic blue mustangs. One of the best colors IMO.

SI_stang

SG is Definitely my favorite color. I'm glad it's coming back.

lalayla

Me too!

They do not appear to be dropping any of the current colors, just adding to the list, although Red Candy Tint is a new paint code so it is slightly different than the prior Red Candy (this was an affected color from the tsunami).

Not really, but if you pay shipping I'll take it.
