2011 Mustang Colors:

* Grabber Blue
* Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat (new)
* Black
* Ingot Silver (new)
* Performance White
* Race Red (replacing Torch Red) (new)
* Kona Blue
* Brillant Silver Metallic
* Sterling Grey
* Sunset Gold Metallic
* Red Candy Metallic
That list is not correct as per the 2011 order Guide:

Grabber Blue
Performance White
Kona Blue Metallic
Race Red
Red Candy Metallic
Ebony
Sterling Gray Metallic
Ingo Silver Metallic

Yellow Blaze supposedly available later in the summer.

Also ... oddly enough ... the Canadian Color Guide lists the Grabber Blue as Grabber Blue Metallic. Same paint code as USA though ...


Got me a one year color though ....

Hmmm, I found that same list on several online magazines. Probably old information. Sorry.

The 5.0 2011 Mustang pictured has Michigan plates. Must be a dealer real close to where the car was assembled. I'd love to test drive it too. Who wouldn't?

Ford takes new models to the dealerships for training. We had a 2011 Super Duty a few weeks ago. Somebody must have slipped, they aren't supposed to be driven by customers, since they are not production ready cars.
The cars won't be here 'till sometime late April, early May.

If you click a link in the top of the single post thread and read the entire thing, the 5.0 is at a Ford dealer in Gainesville, FL. Makes me think about making a trip up there and doing my own test drive.
