This is an excellent question since the shades are actually quite similar, but I know that is definitely not the case as I've been a Ford fan since I was a kid in the 1980's. Avalanche Grey is very likely not the exact same shade as either of those two possibilities since Ford has a long...

These photos help quite a bit. Indeed I'm reserving final judgement until I can see for myself in person, but the impression here is encouraging. If it were up to me though, I would have kept this exact same shade but made it metallic - I have a feeling the gradients would play attractively in...

Love that guy's videos. He hasn't posted in about 5 years, but I hope he decides to get back into it. https://youtube.com/@zebracorner

Agreed, and even the Corvette is not perfect in the showrooms. In particular, I've noticed how one headlight is installed perfectly, the other is always slightly off. (Still very nice overall though, and I would argue GM achieves tighter tolerances in general when compared to Ford.) In my case...

We can only hope that this news is Actually true Ford has changed at the core to make quality a core part of their ethos For my part, anecdotal experience with my 2026 Mustang has been reassuring. There are two minor fitment issues on the exterior, but the interior is rock solid excellent...

Indeed yes - Grabber Blue on the S650 Mustangs is metallic, though the effect is minimal. Without looking close, it's easy to assume the finish is for a flat color. Big ditto on Iconic Silver.. very sorry to see it go and happy I landed one before Ford retired it. I assume an attractive...

I explained that the issue with the wiper is far more likely to occur at the dealership rather than Ford's factory, and BummerDriver highlighted a typo on my post as though my original point didn't stand. I guess I was supposed to be upset that my mistake was highlighted, but it's the Internet...

Tell me about it. If Ford doesn't have to be perfect, I have a little extra time before I need to up my game. 😛

Errors on assembly lines typically affect multiple examples and are not usually one offs, especially for something federally mandated like wipers (which include functional washers). You can bet your bottom dollar we'd have heard about a recall for a screw up this vital. I don't this was another...

The good news is routine color rotations are business as usual for the Mustang - the car itself doesn't change much year-to-year, but Ford rotates colors on the regular to attract sales. If you don't like the color choices today, you only have to wait 6 months to a year and Ford will rotate...

Iconic Silver has been retired in favor of Avalanche Gray.. probably not a big deal as those two colors are likely close enough, but it's disappointing that the replacement is a non-metallic flat color. The retirement of Grabber Blue Metallic is a bummer too. The changes are already reflected...

Do customers have recourse in these cases where panel fit is notably off? I've seen some fairly egregious examples of the front bumper not lining up with the hood - either there's a dip on one side, or the edge of the hood almost looks U-shaped against the top of the front bumper. Here are...

Spot on with every point. This post makes the case better than I did, and it should be required reading for every person in the country before they're allowed to get a driver's license. :)

Part of this is the East Coast attitude.. cooperation and giving the benefit of the doubt is not how they roll over there. Anyone who's ever lived in an East Coast city like Atlanta, NYC, or Philly for an extended period of time knows what it's like: no patience, no grace. Everyone is in a...

Missing the Auto Start Stop button would indicate that the feature is not installed. It's possible Ford may have dropped the feature since it is no longer mandated, but that would be a pretty quick change; my 2026 GT has the button. In any case, I don't think there's a way to disable Auto Start...
