Aren't they releasing yellow later in the model year?

Kona Blue looks very different in different light. In bright sunshine, its deep beautiful blue. In less light, dusk/dawn time frame it'll almost look black, or a very very dark purple. I dig it.

I think yellow/orange should be offered. Maybe they are "saving" that for the Boss.

I paid extra and special ordered mine in Candy Red. I love this color. I do not concur with your assesment that it is a "rental car color".

BTW, are you English? I notice you spell it colour.

Edit: Never mind. I see now that you're from Canada.

After looking over some more pictures of Candy Red, I take back the rental car comment but in comparison to Race Red, I clearly favour Race Red.

Yes I am Canadian. Your neighbour to the north. lol

You think Mustang color choices suck? Take a look at BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, etc.

My 2006 is black and I ordered a black 2011. They main reason is....... It blends with all the other black trim on the car and looks cleaner. IMO

Ford is now offering Yellow Blaze Tri-coat Metallic on their website. I prefer Sunset Gold that was offered for 2010 and ditched in 2011. This one seems too light.

Grabber Blue FTW but to each his own.

Based off the Boss 302 announcements I suspect grabber blue to be dropped in 2012 and swapped for "competition orange"

I can't take Kona Blue seriously as it comes off really purple in many lighting situations.

I'd start your decision about metallic vs solid and go from there.

Race Red seems to be your favorite and you might consider getting the red leather interior.

Teh 11 GT500 I had was race red, if I didn't love grabber blue so much, that would be the color i choose, it looks fantastic. i concur with cona, it looks very purple in some angles and green in others. That yellow blaze is not an attractive color, it's very pale and nothing like the strong screaming yellow ford has used before. I love competition orange, but i will be shocked if ford ditches grabber blue, the color has apperently been very popular and everyone form old ladies to little kids love it. It does look realyl good with some black as well.

Out of the 12 cars I have had over the years, all but 2 have been black. Do I need to tell you my choice?
