notes:

imho looks like the MKC's Hazelnut interior is on its way out = very limited paint choices
- - - - - - -
otoh, the Z'18 [BL] might have the best-ever paint asst

replacing VE / Chroma Flame Red Premium Metallic Paint (Chromoflare)
with A2 / Chroma Elite Copper Premium Metallic Paint (Chromoflare)
& adding N5 / Rhapsody Blue = 7 (SEVEN) colors!
never having seen either the Z'18's G1 / Black Velvet Metallic
nor the Z'17's W9 / Diamond Black Metallic = dunno...
would appreciate opinions from those who have seen both, esp side-by-side
- - - - - - -
glad to see that the [BL] Conti gets
New/Changed Package
— Climate Package now standard (features on Standard Equipment page)

really think it should be Std not only on ALL [BL]s; but ALL Reserves!!

hmm... just noticed All '18 aluNavi's have
— Personal Profiles (Audio/Climate/LDC/Seat/Mirror/Pedal)

Ah Good, was looking for the 2018 MKX. No changes except for colors, looks like Diamond Black Metallic is once again gone except for Black Label which gets a new version of it. Bummer, I was going to order one with Diamond Black but what else is new.

Taurus loses the 4-cyliner, probably to avoid installing the newer 2.0L EB.

Edge gets some package shuffling and the previously announced SEL Sport Appearance package.

I still don't understand why there isn't a blue available for the Black Label MKX.

No, it's not metallic. It's a flat color (with a clearcoat). I've seen it at a show, but not in sunlight.

Although it's not a government mandate, most automakers like Ford agreed to make Auto-Braking standard by 2022. Ford's auto braking is a recent addition to their adaptive cruise system which is only available in high-end configurations but the standardized warning system just arrived in 2017 and does not have brake support. The 2016 Lincoln MKX was the first Ford to get the upgraded emergency braking adaptive cruise system.

Posted Today @ BON

"Our Dealer Principal and I met with our Ford representative to do our new wholesale for vehicle allocation. While there has been no official announcement from Ford, our Ford representative informed us that the C-MAX Energi (plug-in) is no longer available for the 2018 Model Year! Guess that explains why they never released an order guide for the 2018 C-MAX Energi!"

Wow, rear drum brakes up to SEL trim , and plastic wrapped steering wheel.
And RS and ST don't have LED tail lamps. I did not realize N.A. stuff was so lacking.

No wonder Focus sales are in the dumpster. With the other guys adding stuff no competition from Ford seemingly uninterested in moving this car.

To be fair, the other guys don't have anything that compares to the RS and ST Focus so any Ford fan should be extremely grateful to have those products while they last.

We already knew Ford had cancelled the C-Max Energi for 2018. The Focus and C-Max cease production in about 6 months I believe.
