Now if they brought screaming yellow back with black, OMG id have to trade.

So it is true, once again YELLOW BLAZE IS DISCONTINUED. Not to be mean or anything, its just the truth.
Again, I'll believe that when a FCS rep confirms it, or one of our dealer reps provide info. Ford doesn't typically cancel colors mid-year. Kona Blue and Lava Red were casualties of the Japan disaster. Yellow Blaze's lack of sales will most likely be addressed come 13MY.

There is something definitely going on with the production. There were a few dozen YB cars pumped out over the course of a few days, including about 25 with sequentially numbered VINs, which to me means they flushed a bunch of orders out of the system. Not a single YB built since Aug. 2nd, so there is a hold/stoppage, even if it's only temporary.

Would anyone here buy a Flat Black LS with Grabber Orange livery?


Absolutely. That's what I'm hoping for.

Well, now that our sales reps are chiming with info from CONCEPS, its all but confirmed.

I take it YB Bosses are also done. That color will be quite rare then.

According to this document from late June, Kona will run until Dec, and Sonic will NOT re replacing it. Yellow Blaze is not mentioned.

However, the REVISED Order Guide (from August 1st) states:
Sonic Blue Metallic (SN), Yellow Blaze Metallic Tri-Coat (NQ),
Sterling Gray Metallic (UJ) & Red Candy Tri-coat Metallic (RZ) are
Late Available
Red Candy gets a new paint code, but is supposed to be identical (though from a new supplier). Yellow blaze being late available would seem to agree with a break in production (likely due to finding a replacement supplier).

Why call it Grabber Green if it is metallic and looks nothing like the original Grabber Green?

It looks more like those hideous metallic greens on the new Camaro and Challenger. The other two look good, though!

They may use pearlescent metallic to differentiate from past Grabber colors.

Well, that looks nothing like The original Grabber Green, so I'd say that's plenty of differentiation.

Plus, why do they need to differentiate the colors when the styling is completely different from the last car to use the color (except *maybe* for Grabber Blue) and when people like the original color?

Like I said, the Blue and Orange look good, IMO, although I'll reserve judgement on the pearlescent coat. However, the Grabber Green is very disappointing compared to the original, IMO.

I wish Ford would embrace colour like Lamborghini does.

I still think it should have reflective stripes like the original.

And non-metallic paint like the originals, too!

Just saw a Synergy Green metallic Camaro. That color belongs on a Donk, not a pony car.

Well, different strokes

Either way, that color is nowhere near Grabber Green.
