any 2012 mercury gray owners?

Can we get some pics of the new 2012 "MERCURY GRAY" evo x? I've been searching but can't find any... I think this will be my color of choice come end of 2012 when I graduate/acquire a job!

Thanks

Is it that different from graphite gray? I cannot tell if it is THAT different from it on the mitsubishicars website.

You can't tell from the web site at all. The color is definitely more silver then gray, and definitely much different then the previous GG.

Edit: MG was actually used on some 2011 models, including the outlander sport.

Here's "Mercury Gray" on the outlander sport:

I actually was going to order a GG, heard they weren't making that color, saw the Outlander, and decided not to order that color.

In all honesty, the photo above doesn't do the Mercury Gray justice in the overcast lighting.

The Mercury Gray on the Outlander Sport does have a really nice vibrance and depth to it. I'm not sure I'd turn in my GG X for it...but the Mercury Gray is a pretty classy looking color.

That's actually a pretty nice shade of silver/grey.

IMO, they should've had the Mercury Grey replace the Apex Silver, and then made the Graphite Grey darker, and the Phantom Black even darker. All 3 would've made awesome non-colors.

It's alright... I like that hidden blueish in the Graphite Gray a lot more than this all-shades-of-gray MG in the Outty Sport to tell u the truth

I went by the stealership a week ago and saw this GG '11 in the showrooms... Oh man, I started to miss my GG Ralliart

I want to see the MG Evos in person though... there's none around my area

I've got one MG inbound (ordered GG in October). I have some MG lancer pics if u want to see. I think I prefer GG but may just suck it up and take the MG since I like the more stealthy looking colors.

Do post some pics of ur MG evo if/when you get her! I saw the one on evoxforums and wasn't a huge fan but would like to see some different angles/lighting and would really like to see some black rims on her

I was thinking they should have gotten rid of AS as well. That looks closer to silver than gray to me

I don't think the color's the same. They use the same image and just change the colors. I remember putting my GG together on their site, it's very different. MG is much lighter.

On the Evo build-your-own section of the Mitsu site, the MG still uses the GG images (just open two tabs and build one 2011 GG and one 2012 MG). The mitsu site does have accurate representations of MG in other vehicles like the Outlander.

Attached are some MG Lancer ES pics which is the best I could find. I am still looking for pics of a MG Evo but I guess that might be my own whenever the darn thing arrives (dealer says early Jan).

I'm not thrilled about the discontinuation of GG but I kind of feel WW and PB are a bit to boy racer for me (I'm married with kids and this is the car I drive to work in so can't make it too obvious I'm having a mid life crisis ;-)

Thus, I may just have to suck it up and go with MG. FWIW, the dealer insists when you see it live side by side, MG looks much better. Of course, that's what I'd expect him to say...
