I stopped by two dealerships today. Town & Country Ford had these three lined up perfectly for some color comparison photos:

Stage 1's go for around 40K? They are more expensive than I thought, I expected that price for the Stage 2.



Great comparison photos!

Too bad they discontinued MG, think it was the best color to complement the parchment interior.

While I'm not a fan of parchment tops, that rocker stripe on the vista ties it all together nicely.

Like the tungsten the best, but mineral gray looks great too.

Next to the satin silver the tungsten looks a bit darker than I thought it would be. To me the tungsten looked lighter in the pics from the 05 NICAS show. Thanks for the pics, very easy to see the comparisons in color.

Go figure, the Tungsten owners like Tungsten and the MG owners like MG. As a Black '06 owner, I'd have to say that although all three look great, I still think MG is the most striking. I may have deliberated more about my color choice had it not been discontinued.
