The 2017 Taurus Job 1 date is out along with the order date/scheduling dates. Basically you can order a 2017 once the 2016 order dates are coming to a close. I haven't found any details on the 2017. Talking to people that know people that work at CAP, it seems like 2017 is just another run for the current platform/chassis - but again, it's from people that know someone that works at CAP. Honestly, it's about 3 months away from ordering a 2017 and Ford has yet to release any teasers/press info on a 2017 Taurus. It's unlikely it will be the Fusion chassis design, but who knows.
The green SHO in the above pics is Guard Metallic, found on the 2015-up Mustang, and I believe I saw them on the Edge and Explorer as well. Most people (along with me) see the Guard color as a light grey, or a greyish green under the sun. It's not as sharp of a green as Emerald Green on the new F-150. Dark Side looks green under the sun, but most people see it as black normally.
Blue Jeans seems similar to the old Deep Wedgewood Blue color that Ford had in the late 90s/early 00s.
