I assume you mean of the current:
I'll expect to see you've ordered the above ASAP.
- Choose your favorite color. I like Magnetic or CO
- 401a
- Manual
- Nav
- Premier Trim
- Performance Package
- Reverse Assist
- Money no option: Get ACC
I'll expect to see you've ordered the above ASAP.

The Ruby Red is on our list...
However, my son would like yellow with a pair of black stripes and black wheels. And frankly, I don't mind that either...
My wife would like blue with white stripes and black wheels.

Sounds like a command decision is in order. I saw lots of yellow ones in my searching. Not sure how popular that is around here. Then again I saw a lot of black ones too.

Not much Torch Red, lots of Ruby Red...
Not very many yellow ones, and the few I've seen are manual...
Attached is a picture of what my son wants... Frankly, I think it is nice, but I've never owned yellow, so will it be nice after the "new" wears off?
Also, can anyone tell me what wheels are on that Mustang in the picture?
Finally... suggestions on getting the stripes done? What should it cost? Who did you have do yours?

Gt, premium, performance pack, guard. The car I ordered and bought.
No need for the other crap really.adaptive cruise? No thanks. Ford navigation BLOWS at best. My 14 fusion titanium needs a update already, 3 months old, the arrow circle is WAY OFF, making the navigation basicly useless now. The touch screen sucks, and can't use it if your going over 25mph, I guess your never going to have a passenger. And it's the dumbest predictive out there. It can't search and give city's based on street and address. Save your $900. Buy a tune and a cai with it.
Reverse park assist? It's not a countach. And I'll pass on the 4 holes in the bumper.

Adaptive cruise is a safety feature, it includes collision warning...
Driving on the highway, it is a wonderful feature, now that we have it, I'd never want to be without it, but I use cruise often.
It isn't the best, frankly I'd like to see Sync 3 in, it appears that fixes much of the current issues. I might wait to get a 2016 if it comes with Sync 3.
Ha! Don't tell me about MyTouch updates and "sucks". I had a 2011 Ford Explorer with the launch version of MyTouch, boy did that SUCK! Multiple hard crashes that required dealer resets, multiple updates installed via USB, and a complete interface change about 18 months in.
Finally fixed for the most part, but that was a horrible experience for a 41K vehicle. At least Ford appears to have learned their lesson and bought Sync 3 development in-house.
About 10 years ago I was riding with my then girlfriend (now wife) who was backing up a standard 4 door sedan in a parking garage. Plenty of visibility, during the day, etc... She still managed to back it up right into a concrete wall.
So... I HAVE to get reverse park assist.

Fastback, Premium, Manual
Color is hard, since I've only seen a couple in person and they were in colors I wouldn't want. The contenders are Guard, Silver Ingot, and Ruby Red.
401A
I'd most likely skip the GT Performance Package because I hate black wheels. If the suspension is too soft, I can replace the springs, struts, and shocks with ones by Steeda.
Spoiler delete
Wheels are a tough choice. The standard 18" wheels look nice but the 20" look spectacular. But they are more money and replacement tires would be more money, too. I suspect the weight would be considerably more, as well.
If I went with Guard for the body color, I'd get Saddle interior. If I went with Ingot Silver or Ruby Red, I'd get the Premium Trim in Red Line.
Navigation
I think the 50 Years Appearance Package looks great on the outside, but then you're locked into an all black interior, and I need a little color.
