Replying to: bwaters (Aug 10, 2005 1:57 pm) Is it a bright red or deep red? No. I would call it more of a desert red or maybe an anemic red. Actually that is why it was acceptable for me because it wasn't so red. Here's a picture of mine I took on Sunday.

Replying to: frank4cars (Aug 11, 2005 8:13 am) Thank you. Salmon red is a perfect description. Actually, my first choice was the stratos blue, but no one had one in stock in a touring edition manual with no navigation. When I looked at the red, I was pleased. Of course, if I had been more patient and waited 10 days (I didn't think they would arrive that soon - Mazda said end of August), I could have had the stratos blue (I checked inventories online), however, I am quite pleased with my choice.

Replying to: rlawrence (Aug 11, 2005 8:40 am) That was enough - I had them find me a carbon grey from another dealer. I would definitely suggest viewing the cardinal red in sunlight before buying (ordering)!

Replying to: bwaters (Aug 16, 2005 5:42 pm) What part of the country are you in?

Replying to: rlawrence (Aug 17, 2005 3:55 pm) "Have you called 800-639-1000? The nice folks there can tell you when models will be arriving at dealerships in your area" Who/where does this number call? Do they know what's on the next boat-load coming in?. That would be very useful since I am looking for an auto touring W/O nav (maybe Phantom Blue...need to see that color for real first), and the local dealer claims not to know what might be "on the boat". Thanks

Replying to: r2k (Aug 17, 2005 7:07 pm) Don't limit yourself to one dealer though. I am sure there are at least three or four dealers within 100 miles of you if you live in a more rural part of the country. I was fortunate because I am in SoCal, there are about 20 or so dealers to pick from. Also, have you used the inventory lookup system at www.mazda5.com?

Replying to: rlawrence (Aug 18, 2005 7:28 am) Thank you very much for that info. I am in a "rural" area....the next 3 nearest dealers are about 75-90 miles away, and then more in the Portland, Oregon area. I have been checking their stock on the Mazda USA web site, so know what they should have on hand. I want to see some other colors (local dealer has a charcoal gray and a platinum silver), so will have to make a road trip soon. None of the other dealers have a model/color I am interested in, but I still want to check out several other colors in person. I will give that number a call and see if they can tell me what might be coming into this area of Oregon. Thanks. |
