I personally like dark shadow grey a lot more than mineral grey because mineral grey is more brown or copper than grey.


This is a Mineral Grey 05 but it doesnt look as brown as the older mineral grey mustangs look. Did they change the color????

Its a 'colour changing' type of colour...based on how much light hits it.

This is in a dark underground parking area....looks AWSOME.
in the light...takes on a copper colour...

Thats what I don't like about it.
Love DSG though.

I love mineral grey, the earthy copper tones that shift in the light.. It just looks so slick..

Mineral gray is nice but DSG is much nicer. I would really like to wait to see if it will be coming out next yr, but I don't think I will be able to wait. No self control when it comes to this Mustang!!

Like others, I don't like the way Mineral Grey looks in bright light. Its has too much of a copper tone. DSG is a great looking color. Too bad its not offered for the '05.

I have to see how mineral gray look in the sun on the '05. The lines are a lot cleaner than the SN95 and as a result, it should look great.

I do think DSG would be a better and more popular color though.

The titanium silver on the concept car is better than DSG or mineral grey IMO.

I would change my order in a flash if Dark Shadow Grey was offered over the Mineral Grey.
I think this car would look killer in that color.
The Mineral Grey has too much of a copper tone to it in the sunlight.
Guess I will just have to stick with Windveil Blue for now.

P.S. The color of the silver concept car was also great.They should have added that to the new colors.

I saw a DSG Mach 1 in person. All I can say is it looked amazing. Very mature and expensive looking as opposed to other "louder" colours.

Brad - nice pics of DSG ! This is a very nice color, and it looks even better when you see it in person. numenor27 I would recommend that you visit a ford dealer and take a look at it if you are interested. It is a color currently available on the 2004 models. I am not sure about previous years.

Here is the Mach 1 I got to see with the DSG. It was a great looking car with that color on it. It almost made me forget about the 05 I've been waiting for , for so long.

SC67Stang, that is one beautiful machine. I would be equally tempted by it as it would be my pick too. But hang in there ! The 2005 is just around the bend. Just keep telling yourself that you can save more money in the meantime i can ... i can ... i can .. i can lol
