Imagine that... a salesperson who didn't want you to buy right away!
 
You can always check the inventory at the dealers in your area on Mazda's web site. That will give you an idea of what's available. But I gotta tell ya--for the difference in price you'll save by waiting until December, you'll get way more than that much fun value out of the car if you buy it now. I bought mine at the end of July, and although I got a good deal on it, and although they're even cheaper now, I was kicking myself for not getting it sooner. It's that much fun to drive!
 
Mine is liquid platinum. I love how the color changes in different lighting. Mostly it looks silver, but sometimes it looks lavender (not the most manly color, but I'm okay with that) and other times it looks like a cornflower blue color. It hides the dirt pretty well. I wash it when I notice the brake dust on the front wheels. Other than that, I don't notice the dirt.
 
Black is a notoriously bad color for dirt. As others in the board have said, every speck of dirt shows up. We had a black MPV for a while, and I'd have to wash it twice at times because the soap residue would show up on it. I haven't done any testing on interior temperature differences, but science says that a lighter car would be cooler inside.

The dealership here has one sport model left and about 6 GT's. I would suggest if your looking for a Sport, start looking for one now. Of course waiting later on a GT model might pay off if you can still find one.
 
  I have the Tit. Grey Met. I love it. I just think silver is to plain and there are so many of that color around. I also liked Red... Car can really stand out and I think it looks sharp. Doesn't show dirt that bad. I a few red cars and I have had more tickets in a red car than any other color I've had... make that all the tickets I've had..Knock on wood!!! I have had 2 black cars and after the first I siad not again but for some reason I got another and then I realized how stupid I was for getting another one. I remember washing my black car in the shade and the sun started hitting the back and within a few minutes I sprayed water in that area and saw steam that quick.
 
  Go with the color you like best.

When I first looked at MS6 there were plenty on the lot. When I got serious, they had 5 left. When I was ready to buy, four were left on the lot and about 15-20 in a regional search. After my purchase, three were left at my dealer's lot. The selection is continuously diminishing. Depends how particular you are about color and options. The later you wait, the less particular you need to be.
 
I tend to like the lighter colors. Here in Colorado the sun is very intense with few clouds; dark colors get hot quick. I do like red, but I don't want a fast car which attracts too much attention to itself.

Liquid Platinum is a very nice colour! Of course, I am biased....

If you truly like black, buy black. Yes, you will have a hot car in FL; you'll need front + rear sunshades (you can get these as accesories, maybe not from Mazda), and if you're sure one of FL's frequent T-storms is not on the way, crack the sunroof. IF it clean, you can put a silvery colored cover over it which will do wonders for keeping heat in check. If that's too much trouble, try white or silver. Any other dark color is only a small advantage over over black re heat.
 
Re dirt; if you really like the car you'll wax it often and hose off/hand dry 2x/week. You'll be paying for it for a while, get something you actually like. I saw the black today; it has glittering mica flecks in it so when buffed out it'll look great, and not like everyone else's car.

Get black....it is by far the best color on Mazdaspeed 6. The silver and gray have a horrible purple shade and the black cherry is really hard to look at without throwing up. You clearly have only two choices black and white. Of course that's from a man's perspective. If you are a woman than I guess purple doesn't make you look that bad. Good luck with your decision.

If you are unable to find a 2006, they are going fast, I only have 2 left, you may have to wait until 2007. Production numbers will be slim. The Black Cherry Mica and Whitewater Pearl have been deleted.
 
Personally, I believe the Titanium Gray (not Galaxy Gray which has a bit of blue in it) Whitewater Pearl and Black are the best colors.

If you don't like red which is a beatiful color in speed6 liquid platinum is the next best. Black scratches to easy 2 much work to keep it the paint flawless.
