CurtisH Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I've got two questions that I'm hoping someone can answer: 1. When does the 2018 Escape come out? 2. Will there be a Sport model? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Last date was 8/28 for job 1. SE has a sport appearance package but I don't see any performance stuff.

They could do some serious business with a true sport model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisH Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks for the info. I would really be interested in a "real" sport model. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisH Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Okay, another question. There are two new colors - blue and cinnamon glaze. Is there anywhere I can see those colors. Note: How many different blues does Ford have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Note: How many different blues does Ford have? Depends on the model. At mininum there's: -Lightning Blue -Blue -Blue Jeans -Grabber Blue -Blue Metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure Blue Jeans is being phased out And Grabber Blue only makes an appearance on the Mustang every few years. Edited August 7, 2017 by fuzzymoomoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Pretty sure Blue Jeans is being phased out And Grabber Blue only makes an appearance on the Mustang every few years. Yeah, it does seem like this new "Blue" color is replacing Blue Jeans. I know, I was just stating how many different blues they have off the top of my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I was just stating how many different blues they have off the top of my head. That was kind of my point. They have several different blues now. And this new one is just called "blue". What does it really look like? If it's really close to blue jeans, I'd like it. I have no idea what cinnamon glaze looks like.

According to the little digital swatch on the build and price, it seems like "Blue" is similar to Blue Jeans, but maybe a tad more toward Lightning Blue than Blue Jeans was.

akirby Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think it's a shade lighter than blue jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 code "FT": Blue metallic / called "Blue Diamond" metallic for Lincoln I thought that was Lincoln exclusive color? If not I want it on my Bronco! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks 2B2. You don't happen to have an example of cinnamon glaze, do you? not sure if this page is or not - doesn't look exactly like BurgundyVelvet or RaceRed (which are ALSO offered = 3 'reds'?!?) to me ...they also have another pic that must be FT Blue, looking different. Otherwise, just the (rather useless) "swatches" in the fleet preview Pdf I thought that was Lincoln exclusive color? If not I want it on my Bronco! afaik codenumbers don't lie (& I like #FT too ...at least in pix - reminds me of 1979 Lincoln Mark V Givenchy Crystal Blue pic Link ) so -- Rhapsody Blue #N5 -- [bL] Chroma Crystal Blue #EB (the quite light blue of the autoshow) are Lincoln only ... so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FT Blue sounds like it would look good. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Speaking of color, I really wish Ford would bring back Tuxedo Black, or a metallic Black color, even if there is an up charge for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Speaking of color, I really wish Ford would bring back Tuxedo Black, or a metallic Black color, even if there is an up charge for it. I agree. The current black isn't nearly as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerdude20 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I agree. The current black isn't nearly as nice. Agreed, I think it was eliminated (along with Kona Blue) with the tsunami in Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Speaking of color, I really wish Ford would bring back Tuxedo Black, or a metallic Black color, even if there is an up charge for it. Agreed! I love the metallic black and likely would have gone that route on my truck, but won't own a non-metallic black vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Agreed, I think it was eliminated (along with Kona Blue) with the tsunami in Japan It was removed from the '15 to '16 model year. From my understanding it was an expensive paint. Lincoln needs a color similar to it asap as well, flat fleet back just doesn't cut it.

If that was the case, Ruby Red would have been eliminated also...well it replaced Candy Red, but they where almost identical colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
