Default Discontinue Mineral Gray?

Did they stop making the Mustangs in mineral gray? I was checking out fords website and you can't build it with mineral gray anymore. They have the new Tungsten but not the mineral. Is this just an error or did Ford discontinue this paint?
I actually hope they did then mine will be one of the few. That is unless they discontinued cause it falls off[:'(]

Mineral gray and Sonic blue are no longer made.

I had yet another compliment on the sonic blue color at the dealership by the mechanic that worked on it. He said man that's a pretty color...I haven't seen it before. So I'm pretty certain they haven't had any other Mustangs in that color at our dealership and as it was ours was only on the lot a few hours before we drove it home! I saw one of the new 06 silver ones not sure which shade but it had pretty metallic gray that really showed the metallic specs.

Thats awesome that they stopped making those colors. I am very happy with my mineral gray and would prefer it over the new tungsten gray. The sonic blue is hot too. Kudos to you wildabout. The blue is really rare I have seen one in that color a GT. Its sharp.
Hopefully they don't start those colors again. These 05's might be pretty sought after in 20-30 years and a rare color will make them even more equitable.

I have one of each discontinued color. Has anyone seen that new vista blue and how does it comapre to the sonic blue? I think the tungsten has a slight shade of purple in it and I don't like it as much as the mineral grey.

i would love to see a side-by-side photo of vista and sonic blue. there was one posted a while back, but there was some question whether or not the purported vista blue was the real deal

I noticed a dealer close to where I work has a Vista Blue on their lot. If they still have it and I can get to it, I'll stop by and snap a picture at different angles so we can get a look.

I'd like to see pics too 05GTBlue as I haven't seen a vista blue on the lots around here yet to compare the Sonic Blue.

Hey that would not be a bad deal for us Mineral Grey owners. I've only seen two around my way. That will make my car that much nicer especially when I begin my cosmetic mods.
