So is it Tuxedo Black or Black Clear Coat
Was wondering if any one knew the final word on the color black, or if both will be available? On the order snap shot posted here it showed both color choices, my dealer showed black clear coat, and on the order guide posted it showed tuxedo black. Latest dates I've seen is that the order bank will open tomorrow.

At this point it is still a unknown and even when the order guide comes out it still could change from that before production begins. The reason I say this is the plant in Japan that makes the Xirallic pigment is back online and will be at full production by early next month. This is far sooner then originally projected, so there is a possibility for the return of Tuxedo Black and soon.

Tuxedo is the metallic black that was intro'd on the MY11 Super Duty which then balanced out early due to the lack of a Xirallic pigment supply to the paint manufacturers caused by the earth quake in Japan.
