2012 SG GT

Whats up guys,
I'm brand spanking new to this forum and pleased to say i will be ordering a 2012 SG GT with Brembos, 3.73 gears and a glass roof within the next week. Im curious, i havent heard much talk about the return of sterling gray to the 2012 color palette. I have absolutely confirmed that SG is in fact back and is classified as "late availability" from the first dealer i tried to negotiate with a couple weeks ago. So i was wondering, has anybody ordered the 2012 SG GT yet and when can i expect to receive delivery of my new stang considering it is available late?

Congrats on your order!! Sorry, I don't know anything about that. I can't wait to see it though.

Maybe they'll have this info when you place your order?

Hi ThrustangFiveO,

Welcome to the forum!! My name is Deysha from Ford Customer Service. I wanted to let you know that yes, the awesome Sterling Gray is back for late availability. I’ve had a few customers place orders with this color but, we have no specific time frame for when they will get their vehicles. Now, you can go ahead a place your order with all your likings and shoot me a private message with your dealer name and order number so I can track it for you.

Hello Deysha, I've been away from this forum for quite some time but getting back in as I'll be buying a 2012 GT. Just wondering if you have any updates as to when the SG will be available. When you say Late availability does that mean late 2011 or late 2012.

Hey srichard,

Right now it’s looking more like late 2011. I’m hoping for September-October time.

Sterling Grey? Me too!

Congrats on ordering your new Mustang.

I ordered mine the end of May. I've been patiently waiting since then for production to start on the Sterling Grey cars.
I ordered a 2012 SG/Saddle V6 MT6 Premium MCA with the V6 Performance Package. I also ordered the glass roof like you did.

I started thinking about getting a new Mustang when the 2011's came out. Sterling Grey was the color I wanted. When I decided to get a
2012 I was disapointed the SG had been dropped. I was going to get a Lava Red one but when I went to place the order for the car I saw that
Sterling Grey was going to be available again and decided to wait.

I've been waiting a little over three months now. I sure hope production starts soon.

They're finally starting the SG build!

Deysha from Ford Customer service just told me they're starting to schedule Sterling Grey Mustangs. I've been waiting since May 27th
to hear this. I hope mine will be one of the first.

The color was brought back after the Tsunami in Japan affected some of the colors like Lava Red and Kona Blue something to do with an additive to the paint that they got from Japan. It's been on the books since May when I ordered my car. I hasn't been made public through the Ford website other than if you go to the customizer link you can pick it as one of the colors there. There have been some post on various Mustang forums talking about it also. I was looking at cars.com last night an some dealer already have some SG 2012's. Looks like they started building them the first week of October from the build dates I saw on the window stickers.

Ah so the Tsunami is what killed Kona Blue !? Kona Blue was my favorite but been browsing the SG ponies and I am really leaning towards this color now. I'm buying a 2013 so still waiting on the details so I can actually order.

Don't know if the tsunami killed Kona Blue or not. I know it affected
supplies of the color. Ford actually diverted Kona Blue from other models
to Mustang to finish the 2012 model year. For 2013 they have
Deep Impact Blue as a replacement for Kona Blue. It doesn't appear to be
as dark as Kona Blue. I get lots of complements on the Sterling Grey/
Saddle combination of my car. I really liked the Sterling Grey/Brick Red
combo you could get on GT's don't know if the still offer that for 2013.
Couldn't get that combo on the V6's so I got Saddle instead.
