I have an '06 on order. I originally choose Tungsten, but after seeing it in person for the first time on Saturday, I told my dealer I want to change colors. Too much lavender in the Tungsten for my tastes. I need to tell her which color I want on Monday. Any pics of silver or vista blue with aftermarket wheels would be appreciated.

I completely agree with you and the Tungsten color. I changed as well. But don't ask us for our opinion. Make the decision for youself. You'll get everyone tell you how much thier color is better than the next. Just go with your instinct and you'll be happy.

I love the Tungsten, but I would consider the legend lime, too. In person, it's quite fetching. I like the Vista as well, but the wife nixed my vote.....

I saw the vista in person along with a bunch of other colors and I like it better than most. The silver is nice and easy to take care of. It's all up to you on what you want.

Limeeeeeeee..Legend Lime lol i just picked mine up yesterday

There is a sea of silver cars out there is why I did not pick the silver, the blue you want is very strong looking in it's color, to me it does not stand out

It was a tough decision for me as well, I was going with the windvale silver or Legend Lime...Lime WON [attachmentid=35868]

good luck

Same happened to me. After seeing Tungsten, I changed to Redfire.

Between your choices, I'd go with Vista Blue.

Go with silver if you wanna blend in. That was my original plan, but then I decided I didn't want to blend in as much...

Seems a lot of Tungsten orders switched to Vista. Between it and silver, totally depends on what you want. Silver easier to clean, blends in more, blue is tougher and definitely jumps out more.

I also picked TG at first, then Thank God I saw it in person at a dealership. In my opinion I did not like it 100%. It's nice but it does not pop for me. As soon as I saw it in person, a minute later I changed my order to Vista. And may I say after 6 Stangs, this color is AWESOME!!! It's deep and unique IMO. It has the pop I was looking for and the depth I wished for. This is the best Mustang I have ever owned.

Let's face it, folks - this car doesn't have a bad color. Looks pretty good in all the shades so far.

That said, I think Tungsten is utterly AMAZING! It surprises me that some people don't like it, though it's definitely true that under overcast skies it does have a bit of a lavender sheen to it.

Still, it's one of my three favorite colors, along with Legend Lime and Redfire.

If only all decisions were this much fun.

Another vote for Vista.

Can you get Vista w/ ICAP?

I wanted to get Sonic w/ ICAP and white Shelby stripes... but went w/ Torch instead because I HAD to have the porno red interior.

I orderd silver in 05 and did not get pulled, ordered tungsten for 06 but after seeing some on ebay did not like it as much and went back to silver, im glad I went back to silver. ( not that there is anything wrong with tungsten.)

I seem to be in the minority here, if Tungsten was available in 05, that's what I would have purchased. I've seen the Tungsten in person, and it is just beautiful.
