Good I guess. Makes our cars a little more unique. I do feel sorry for those who wanted MG but could not get their cars built/ordered in time. Same for the Sonic Blue.

I was going to post my opinion until I saw those stripes on BeOnEdge's car. What color stripes are those? They look to be a silver color. Those are the stripes I put on MG with that "stripe painter" flash program that was posted a while back. They look great

Oh yeah, about the MG no being offered in 06. I actually think it's good that it's not offered. This car looks good in so many colors I'd hate to see them limit what colors they paint the Mustang.

That's what I'm saying. I'm personally glad it's a rare color that only comes around every few years. That's one of the reasons I got it.

Are they replacing it with Dark Shadow Gray? I owned a mineral gray 02 GT and a DSG 03 Cobra, and I have to say, overall DSG is a much better color. I think it would look even better on this bodystyle, as I don't like the lighter color of mineral gray on this one.

I like the fact that it's not offered next year, but I'm not sure how rare it really is - in my area I've seen more mineral grey than any other color.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I have the only MG that I have seen here in England. Plus the being rare thing is pretty cool.

I love the car and am sorry to hear you cant get it anymore but love the fact that it will make my GT Vert Mineral Grey that much more rare of a popular color

I'm glad I got it while it was available. I've now seen a number on the road out here, but only a couple of MGs, so mine will stand out when it arrives.

Love the MG and glad I ordered it. Now that it isn't available in 06 is a + in my book!

My sentiments exactly! Love the color, and the fact that they're not making them any more makes me love it even more!! I'm seeing more and more GTs around my area; still have never seen another MG.

Mineral Grey and Sonic Blue have been offered on the Mustangs for quite a few years now, I guess it is a good time to try something different.

I agree dark shadow grey...or Royal Maroon from '69

My dealer said the new color, titanium, was gonna be a popular ford color and would be on many product lines.
Anybody else heard the same?

I had a MG on order, but it was not meant to be

I really like the Mineral Grey. But as others have said, It would probably work out for the better in the long run.

Dark Shadow Grey is another bad a $$ color. I am thinking about some DSG stripes on my Black GT!

Pedalmasher,
The new color is Tungsten Grey not Titanium. I think that's what you ment. It was known as Titanium before, but the 06 is Tungsten Grey. I only say this because you should probably see another dealer that is more informed about there own cars JMHO.

I'm fine with it. I've got mine, and I like it. It'll be that much rarer. I think the Tungsten looks good too, so the 06 people aren't loosing out either.

I'm glad to have a color offered for only one year and that one year is the new body style of a model but it makes me more nervous with mine. Two cars I've owned were stolen and totalled as a result. If something happens to this car I won't be able to get a new MG pony. Hopefully DSG will be out at that time or even better Highland Green ?
