US Diesel's big splash introduction

Looks like a Mazda 3 on stilts from just behind the rear door
A 2.5L CX-4 may fit your requirements:
As a owner of a Sonic Silver CX5, I have to admit my bias and say that the silver color really matches that style.
(iagree)
I do agree with that. As much as I like the Sonic Silver, it would be even better if it were not quite as dark. It seems most automakers use this gray ish silver.
But, put a nice sealant wax on it and it does glow. I used Sonax Liquid NPT. Right now during winter it’s a quick wash and wipe with Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer.
My Sonic silver doesn't get washed much, but still looks acceptable.
Both my Silver Xtrails were a proper silver, much lighter, at least the sonic is less grey than my last cx-5 silver car, I forget what silver they called it now, but it was really a light grey.

Any silver is a good colour

Yep for the most part. I have seen some silvers that were more shiny gray than silver. I think that was on Fiat Chrysler vehicles.
I saw a pretty new silver Audi the other day, that was a real nice looking silver.

There's some interesting info in that article from Merc, about how the EPA has made it harder to get certified. Though that begs the question, how are other manufacturers getting their vehicles certified without any issues.
That's weird..both because I thought you had no interest w.r.t. diesel and also because you've provided zero detail w.r.t. before/after comments/vagarities..please do.
Oh sorry... yes I have no interest in diesel. My discussion with customer service was on something else - on Friday with a repeat call - today. I decided to ask about few things and that included diesel.
Last week - no date determined yet, but we are very aggressively pushing for it. If only I could share some data it seems entire HQ is pushing for it. You'll come to know shortly but definitely in the pipeline.
Today - we currently do not have any information regarding when it'll be available. No information available. We understand we have repeatedly said and it did not happen and thus we can not comment on timelines.
Soul Red touch-up paint - the manufacturer has caused a huge logistics problem and thus in the entire North America and few other regions there's a severe shortage. At this point there's no definitive data.
Wipers - yes - we are aware of the scarcity and working to expedite delivery. Some states are already receiving batches.
OK..thanks- both are pretty much inline with what most have said and my hunch is the NYIAS will be the intro stage - w/deliveries by late summer/early fall- or its taken down- white flag of surrender!
Drop it or get off the pot Mazda- word is born.

I feel for you buddy. I know you really want the diesel. Who knows - like you said - if I test drive one: might like it more than gasoline. Let's really hope Mazda delivers.
