New colors for Focus - Fiesta next?

[tnpatterson]

Looked at the Ford website earlier today and saw that there are (what I think are) new colors for the 2012 Focus - but only on the SE manual. Or at least that's what it was when I checked a few hours ago.

Anyway, new colors for the Focus - could this mean new colors for the Fiesta as well? I could really go for a new blue closer to the Blue Flame from the '11s, and the Focus's Sonic Blue looks good to me.

Um, there's quite a few topics on the forum about the new Fiesta colors for 2012.

You misunderstand - I'm talking about new colors IN ADDITION to the colors which are currently available for the '12 Fiestas. The source of my speculation being that, in just the last day or two, several new colors have been added for the Focus; if they've been added for the Focus, perhaps they will also be added for the Fiesta.

For example, until just today or yesterday, Sonic Blue was not available for the Focus; the only option in blue was the same Candy Blue Metallic that is available on the Fiesta. Now, however, both the Candy and Sonic blues are available for the Focus. Perhaps the Sonic Blue will soon come to the Fiesta as well.

Is that more clear?

Gotcha. Well, anything's possible. I'm sure if Ford feels that a certain color is going to be a good seller they might introduce it in addition to the other available colors.

Sonic Blue only came in to replace Kona Blue for the Focus due to the paint shortage stemming from the Japan earthquake and tsunami last March. It is currently the only Ford to carry it. It was supposed to be on the Mustang as well, but that's been shelved (for now).

I wouldn't be optimistic for more colours to come on the Fiesta unless there's another major problem (like another paint shortage).
