Ford MAY NOT PRODUCE sonic blue L's

I need someone's attn. on this. My regional rep. has told me that ford may not produce the L in sonic blue. I was going to order one, but now I don't know. Red, and silver are good, but I wanted the truck to be a little different.

I missed the True Blue's last year, so can somebody from within verify this?

It would be stupid not to offer a blue.

Did Ford release any press photos of the truck in blue yet?

Thanks. Any help will be appreciated.

Personally, I like the white ones, but not shure if they will make white for 03. If not, silver looks great. To many people have red vehicles.

I bet if you saw a Lightning painted Sonic Blue, you would change your mind and this is probably what Ford has done. That blue is VERY bright. It looks good on the smaller cars, but i dont think it will match the Lightnings lines whatsoever. This is just my personal opinion as someone who ordered a Sonic Blue Cobra and didnt like the overall looks of it. I took a Black Lightning home instead.

Thats cause reds the best color.

There's more silver cars produced then any other color right now so thats just not true.

If I didn't pick the red I would have got white cause the white L's just have a nice clean and smooth look to them.

True blue is ok, but the sonic blue is going to look allot better.

Yellow is still the color that ford screwed us on.

Thats true, red does look great on yours, but its got a few "additional" things to brind out the colur.....

The 03 HD paint might look good on one,

I still can't even picture a DSG L, or a Sonic blue one in my mind. really want to see some pics when they come out if they do.

i really want a white L cuz like RT said, they have a very clean look to them Then get powdercoated white rims, and smooth and paint all the plastic pieces, and drop it someday

I would also like to see a sonic blue in person under the sunshine. Personally, I'm glad they don't make L's in yellow...it seems every high school girl has an Xterra in that color.

I thought I remember seeing that they were discontinuing Silver after 2002. Has Ford changed their minds and decided to offer it in 2003?

maybe so, we'll just have to wait and see, but Ford does use Sonic Blue on F-350 Dually Crew Cab trucks, and they don't come much bigger than that.

later,
