it's always marketing dilweeds, "color consultants", et al. who screw things up. that's how everyone ended up with green/teal back in the day. like the king ranch in the 01-03 series, had to wait until 03 to get such exotic colors as white and black.
i am ok with how they have it now offering certain colors for different trims, but at least give us this option: if we order one from detroit, let us pick the color. my wife and i have been told by many that ford won't allow us to choose that color for an expedition even if we wanted. they went on to say that if ford doesn't offer that color in a particular vehicle, you just can't get it. i don't see why you cannot have the color you want especially if they manufacture other vehicles using that color.

here's mine in my sig.

It's rare that a week doesn't go by that someone doesn't pay me a compliment on this truck.
Same here, but fortunately for me, I have only seen one other Ford truck of this color and it was the day after I bought mine.

You can get the STX in Blue Flame...and that's not a fancy model.

I feel the same.

In addition, the 2011 is supposed to have more colors.
