Meteor Gray to replace Metropolitan Gray for 2014 CX-5

STE92VE · Jan 16, 2013

If this is Meteor Gray, as seen on a CX-9, I might be changing my preference from Liquid Silver to Meteor Gray. The Metropolitan Gray was too dark for my liking. The Meteor Gray may be the Goldilocks of the 3 Shades of Gray (discounted from 50) for me!

i agree, looks very nice.

speaking of the cx-9, can't wait until they make a skyactiv cx-9.

i wonder what kind of engine they will use?

oops. just bought mine. I agree. The metro gray was too dark for me. That is a super colour. Fortunatly the liqiud silver isn't a bad alternative.

That is especially nice, and certainly better than the too common plain silver/gray. Dark enough to be unique, kind of like Seal Gray Metallic color by Porsche.

I like it this. I didn't like the Metropolitan Grey color at all, it was just too dark.

I really like that new Soul Red though. Red is awesome, if its done right. The current red is too dark.

We will see what the dealer gets in a few weeks. He has 2 or 3 GT with Techpackage coming in, one red and one of them "grey", but he didn't know which gray. I like the silver.

Yup, it's a $300/$267 (MSRP/Invoice) premium.

Was in a Mazda Dealer last night and on the floor was the Meteor Gray CX-9. After seeing it person, I think I'll stick with the Liquid Silver since the Meteor was still too dark for me but a very nice gray otherwise.

oh well, have to pay it I guess.

thats soul red as seen on the new 6, correct?
it does look better on the 6. i think i may even prefer the 2013 shade of red.

There was also a MZD6 in Soul Red on the floor and that's one hot looking car & color. Almost like Candy Apple Red.

Too red for my taste, the zeal red (looks copper sometimes), looks richer.

Yeah, but the Soul Red will get the attention of the local constables.....

Here are pictures of a Meteor Grey Mica CX-5. It doesn't look exactly like the picture of the CX-9 from what I can tell, but it could just be lighting.

Here's a comparison picture. Metro Grey on the left, Meteor Grey on the right.

Yeah, saw those pics and it really doesn't do the Meteor Gray justice as when seen in person.

That Meteor Gray is classy-looking.
But I prefer Red, and my 2013 Zeal Red has eye-catching qualities about it depending on the light. In full sun it varies from a rich copper to a warm red depending on the angle viewed. The new Soul Red appears a little too vivid, more fitting for a sports car...hey, wait - the CX-5 is a sports car!

IMO, meteor gray is a better color than the metro gray, if you leave the car as is, esthetic wise. Deeper and more refined. However, like z-man said, the red is just awesome.

I'm a big fan of the "black out" theme, as in having a colored vehicle (blue, red, green, white, light gray), and blacking out the badging, wheels, roof rails, etc. The new gray is too dark for my taste, for a black out.

CX-SV · Jan 25, 2013

Color choices are very personal preferences, agreed the low quality pics don't do these metallic colors justice.

IMO, CX-5 is no sports car, lol.
