Dang. It seems all the cool vehicles aren't available here. Either that or I only want one because I can't get it here... The Accord wagons from Japan are pretty sweet looking too. http://www.gqjapan.jp/car/trend/honda/images/accord_wagon_01.jpg
but of course "station wagons aren't cool, everybody wants an SUV" or something.

As seen on the road. 2007 Dark Plum Mica and 2008 Golden Sand Mica
LOL. In a short period of time I managed to see a couple of "special" Mazda5s: 2007 Dark Plum Mica and a 2008 Golden Sand Mica
Dark Plum:
I thought it was the dark blue or black from a distance. Got closer and the sunshine effect made it look awesome. It was a rental though (you can tell by the little barcode sticker in the back window and the lack of dealer's license plate frame). Internet pics don't make any justice to it though:
Golden Sand:
Looked gold (duh!), but bordering into metallic greenish. Mixed feelings, not very convinced. I think in this case a black interior would help rather than the OEM sand one. It was something like this:

I had to vote for Copper Red Mica / Sand Interior. When we went to order our Mazda5, we were dead set on getting the black (we always buy black cars). But when the computer came back with a black only interior, we quickly changed our minds. Black leather would be a butt scorcher in the summer and with two kids it would show dirt instantly.

Where's the purple on the poll. Do you guys not have Dark Plum Mica?
I think the poll only contains 08MY colors. So no Plum Mica, and as far as I'm concerned, no Whitewater Pearl either.

this is really nice color to show Mazda 5's curves... IMO

Yup, as said by jandree22, purple mica just briefly show OEM for the 2007 model (and there are like 3 of those out of the "51" 2007 Mazda5s sold

Ahhh, that explains it.
We just got the Dark Plum Mica as a standard colour in January when they brought out the facelift model in the UK.
We had virtually decided to have Strato Blue but when we went to order the car they told us that as we were picking it up after the relaunch date we couldn't have it, as it was discontinued. So we chose the purple. it's a gorgeous colour but difficult to keep clean with 5 children! It shows up every little greasy finger mark.

2008 dark plum mica and a 7th Karakuri seat, you lucky Brits
Let me then correct, for US, Canada (and Mexico?) dark plum mica only showed up for 2007
And hey, stormy blue mica is also very nice
Hi:
We were thinking of getting one in 'Golden Sand Metallic'
but when we finally saw one in person, we were turned
off because it has a 'green' hue to it. (uhm)
Hopefully, we will be getting a GT in white in the next few
weeks. We have a golden lab mix dog so an all black interior
would be a no-no for us. We also figure with a white exterior,
tan interior, and some window tint the '5' will be a lot cooler
in the summertime.

If you look at my signature you will see where my vote had to go. I do have to say that I saw a Cooper one tonite and it looked stunning.
