timmm55 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Not bad, Titanium SE sedan, Sport package, manual, sunroof, 203A (sync/Myford/etc) $20,900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I didn't mean tan tan, I just meant a light interior color option; Medium light stone is fine with me (it's in my car). Why is it not available on the Titanium trim? Stupid as far as I'm concerned, just like the idiotic reasoning behind sporty vehicles HAVING to have black interior ----- not everyone likes black interior! I think the big issue with beige leather interiors is that they show dirt too well. I was checking out my parents Sable and the drivers seat is pretty dinghy looking.

Why is it not available on the Titanium trim? Stupid as far as I'm concerned, just like the idiotic reasoning behind sporty vehicles HAVING to have black interior ----- not everyone likes black interior! I know the feeling. I love having grey interiors (not too light and not too dark). For lighter interiors, I see them at auto shows and look at how the seats get really dirty after people sit in them. With medium light stone I find sometimes it's okay, but for some interiors it's a bit "beige" at times. Black just seems too "dark" and drepressing at times. Right now I'm wondering how the cloth seats will look in person. I'm on the fence whether to get leather or cloth. Even with the current Focus, the charcoal grey in cloth made the interior less boring than the leather. The 2012 cloth seats somehow break up the monotonous "charcoal grey" that would otherwise be in leather. But part of me figures if I'm shelling out $34K CDN on a car, it'd better have leather (plus, it'd only be $300 CDN more as an option if I were to get a sunroof). I sure hope NAIAS will have a few out there so I can see what I'd be getting myself into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think the big issue with beige leather interiors is that they show dirt too well. I was checking out my parents Sable and the drivers seat is pretty dinghy looking. I don't care - it should still be optional for those that want it. Now I'm not trying to be one of those people that's gonna argue for something that's become outdated or obsolete (Panther mafia, etc.), I just feel that the lack of a light color interior option on only the highest Titanium trim level is a mistake. There will always be those that want a lighter interior. I mean it's not like I'm asking for some outrageous neon green interior or something here - they already have the lighter color interior panels offered on the lower trims, why not have it available on the highest trim - all they have to do is add light color leather seats!??!!? And some Arctic white insert that there's seemingly no picture of doesn't count! I know the feeling. I love having grey interiors (not too light and not too dark).

I sure hope NAIAS will have a few out there so I can see what I'd be getting myself into. If you mean gray-gray (battleship gray), I hate that color, but a nice tan/gray mix (like Medium Light Stone) with the two-tone look (dark up top) is perfect to me. Like you, I hate the dark look and confining feeling that a black interior has - in certain instances it looks good, but it's just not for me.

PREMiERdrum Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Which didnt sell very well, and try selling an orange or yellow car privately, or trading in. End up living in the car all its life. Anyway, at least there is no boring beige for 2012! This line of thinking would have banned "Lime Squeeze" and "Hot Magenta" from the Fiesta range, and both of those have proven to be quite popular. As the one-time owner of a Jackpot Gold '01 Focus ZX3, I got compliments all the time and had no trouble selling it. Remember in the late '90s / early 2000's, yellows, golds, and oranges were quite en vogue. The Aztec Gold and Zinc Yellow Mustangs, Sunray Gold Cougars and ZX2s, and Jackpot / Ft Knox Gold and Egg Yolk Yellow Foci did reasonably well for such loud colors. The Competition Orange '04 Mustangs are also quite popular on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Last night and B&P a fully loaded Titanium HB again. Last week it was ~$35,000 CAD. Last night, I think a third rapid spec was added. I also added Navigation, Moonroof and the 18" wheel upgrade. It came now @ ~$30,000 CAD. That brings it closer to the $1500-2000 difference I was speaking of. It is a much more competitive and reasonable price. I priced a SE w/Sport package and it was only another $1500 over the Fiesta SES HB I bought. The pricing makes more sense now.

Moosetang Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I still only see 400A and 401A Titanium rapid specs on B&P but that as only with a quick pass. SE and SEL both have 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 2012 Titanium 5 dr. Knoa Blue/Charcoal Leather, 6A, Rapid Spec 401A with parking package, Luxury package (more expensive of the group). In BC: It's $34,675 (damn 12% HST!) MSRP is $30,959. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's available at the parts counter. Takes all of 5 minutes to install yourself. Yes but the hardwired factory version looks so much better and doesn't require a battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenCaylor Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 and what happens when the battery gos dead...... You open the battery compartment and install a new one. I've had one on my Mustang for the past 10 years and it's still on the original battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenCaylor Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Outside of the integrated B pillar mounted ones, most of them look like a pretty tacky add on to the outside of the car. I had the factory keypad on my 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and loved it. It's so convenient when at the beach to just throw your keys and wallet in the trunk. I've seen some people mount the accessory unit on the back side of the fuel filler door. IIRC, the first car that had the keypad was the 1980 Thunderbird.

I don't mind the factory versions if they are body color, but the flat black add-on is WAY worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Say what? just compared the shot I'm looking at and fordvehicles.com....wheels no biggie, mirrors change a tad, instead of the tip being a turn signal/ puddle, the US version gets a "line" instead. Headlights do look a little different, almost smoked on the US version, foglights look the same....? verdict...WHEW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
