FR-S Steel and Argento are not the same color (side-by-side pics)

Makes me a bit nervous when they change to a similar colour after only one or two years as it sometimes means they found a problem with the original paint.
Had an 08 Lancer GTS in the dark blue. After the first 6 months the paint started disappearing from the sides. Took it in and they wouldn't do a thing because "it is a design flaw". All the other colours stood up OK. Then they coincidentally changed to a slightly lighter blue for 2009.

Design flaw? Why doesn't Mitsubishi just get out of the US car market already?

They are! At least in Canada not sure about States no more Eclipse and Gallant as of 2008 and no more Evo as of 2015. All they want to sell are econo box Lancer pretenders and SUVs

No matter what it looks like in person, I have a hard time thinking it's as cool as Silver Ignition...but I may be biased!

It's way better than the plain boring silver they used before

Silver has always been boring, in my opinion. They all look the same out on the road, especially when they aren't around any other silver cars.

I assumed it was different but hadn't given it much thought - I like the Steel better, looks deeper.

I felt the same way until I saw Silver ignition, but my favorite will always be blue ribbon metallic.

Today I purchased my FR-S, series 10 with 24 miles on it. Seems it sat on the dealer's lot overpriced for almost a year before they steeply discounted it.

I took some pictures of the silver ignition next to the new steel (2015) color. It seems to me the silver ignition color is a little darker and has a little more depth, the Steel is a little brighter and more metallic (where the ignitions seems more pearlescent).

I firmly believe car colors should be seen in person, but for the sake of completeness, here are the pictures.

First picture: the series 10 is parked in the middle between two cars in Steel.

Second and third pictures: series 10 on the left, steel on the right.

The dealership you took the side-by-side picture...yeah...that's my second home.

My dad's been working there since 1995, when I was only 2 years old. That's pretty much why I am into cars, more specifically Toyotas.

Congrats on your purchase though, enjoy it!
