is that red candy new? that other bordeaux red looks a little different than the cinnamon metallic

they lost that blue steel color, and i dont see the atlantis green, or cinnamon red either.

Candy Red is a carryover. That's what Kirk has.

IMO no loss on the steel blue. An "old Man's color"!!

if Don Mallinson wants his "brown" SHO, he's gonna hafta get a 2010!!

Is it bad that I am paying about 20 bucks less a month on my 1300 sqft 2bdrm 2 bath apartment than a 402a SHO costs per month for 60 months? :nut:

You know; I am 100% sure at the convention, one of the slide shows had a blue taurus. It was in the backround of a bunch of pics, idk if it was a SHO, but it was blue. I remember someone asking about and the guy played it off. But Ford def. I think was going to have this color choice.

I like it!!! Alot.


Ford now doing something bout the brakes. They look ridicoluos w/ those massive wheels!!!!

Agreed! It wasn't bad, I wouldn't put it at the bottom of avail. colors, but def not in the top few either. Was kinda dull imo.
Will Have to see it 1st, but this new blue is almost def in my top 2.

Atlantis Green

I'm sorry to see it go too. To me it looked green during the day and black at night. The Kona Blue is interesting but may be too bright for me.

I'd like to see what the Bordeaux Reserve Red looks like. In the picture that comes up, it looks like the Cinnamon. Chrysler had a Black Cherry back in the final days of the New Yorker. That was an awesome color. Here's something like it I saw at a car show.

the kona is what is on my mustang gt, amazing color to start with, very deep

Ugh, I hate it when the photochopped colour look nothing like the colour in real life.

From the website, I thought Kona Blue would have been this bright electric blue, not a navy blue.

Interestingly, I was playing around on photoshop last week (before I saw this thread) and thought the new SHO would look great in electric blue (ignore the purple, I did this in about 30 seconds).
10TAURUS SHO SKV0269 HR2

Maybe the colour is too bold for Ford to paint one of their sedans in.

IIRC, Atlantis Green was said to be a special color for 2010 ONLY as an ode to the original Emerald Green Met.

Has anybody found out if the police grill (not gen I...the new one :p ) is available separately from Ford? If I had the cash I'm thinking the white suede with a body colored po-po grill and painted chrome would look sweet.

The Taurus Police car won't be available until the 2012 model year, so don't expect those parts to available until at least 2011.

I'm surprised I didn't see this thread until now, but I was fairly busy all weekend. I couldn't wait until Kona Blue was available on the SHO (I kinda found out about a month ago but the 2011 stuff was still secret then). It's my favorite color on the Mustang, like Beefcake's and Hawkeye's, and just looks amazing in the sun IMO. I even started a thread about a what a Sonic or Kona Blue would look like on the new SHO: http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=99121&highlight=sonic+blue. I can't seem to find it right now, but I have the list of what colors were added and deleted for the 2011 model year, which I'll post later, to help clear up any possible confusion.

The other major change I noticed for 2011 is in the order guide it lists the performance package as having unique shocks/springs and stabilizer bars. Now you might be saying "I thought the 2010 had those too?". Well so did I until I read the 2010 order guide and found it doesn't specifically list unique shocks/springs, like the 2011 does and there's another thread on here where someone looked up the part numbers of the shocks/springs for a 2010 SHO with and without the 12S pkg, and found they were the same. So this leads me to believe that some of the "full" performance package was left out for the 2010MY for reasons unknown to me (maybe not fully tuned yet).


Nu uh! Not me! Honest!
:rolleyes: :angelnot:

But Ford makes Bold Moves.... remember their 2006 campaign? :swing:
That was pre-Mullaly and the ONE Ford Plan, the plan that's working ;)

I'd like to see what the Bordeaux Reserve Red looks like. In the picture that comes up, it looks like the Cinnamon.

It's the same Bordeaux Reserve Red that's available on the 2011 Edge and Lincoln MKZ as well, which depicts the color a little bit better on the new Edge's mini-site because it's more photo-realistic than that photoshopped job. http://www.fordvehicles.com/crossovers/edge/2011/

I've always been a fan of gunmetal so the Sterling Gray looks amazing. But, I have to say, if I was buying a new SHO, I think I'd buy the Bordeaux...
