The United States is in a state The dark ages of car colors. Its all are monochrome as far as the eye can seeeven as the era of Nardo Gray’s omnipresence begins to weaken. However, while buyers demand bright colors, manufacturers are going the other direction – charging more than ever for color.
Ford is the latest to join the color-cost race, having created this year all colors are not grayscale a price increase compared to black, white, silver and gray. You can still get your Mustang for under $31,000, but God help you if you want it to look cool.
The Mustang can still be had in Shadow Black, Oxford White, Iconic Silver Metallic and Carbonized Gray Metallic at no additional charge. Then there are three floors. For a fee of $295, you can choose from Race Red, Atlas Blue Metallic, Grabber Blue Metallic or Vapor Blue Metallic. Up to $495 will get you Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat or Dark Matter Gray Metallic, and $995 will get you the only high dollar color: Yellow Splash Metallic.
Personally, I’d drop $300 on Grabber Blue and be done with it, but I still don’t like it. Have ARRIVE. Colors should be free! If we want a world of bright, eye-catching cars, we must make them accessible to the vast majority of car buyers.
Up-to-date prices are displayed directly on Ford’s configurator, so at least you can make the best possible build before going to your local dealer and being sold on whatever they have on the lot. . Hope it’s not Dark Matter Gray.
