now now friend, lets settle ourselves....
I have my orange MS on order too, and like you I am getting very anxious and the more I tihnk about how far away october is, the more I wish i could just go give my dealer the coin and drive away in my car. I am certain that the car that has been spotted is just a media/test car. In the US, MAZDASPEED franchises havent even been fully established, registered, paid for, set up, whatever.........After that is done an MSRP should come in, along with final specs, I am hoping at the same time a couple magazines review the car. Then a more accurate release date will be set and the REAL thumb twiddling will begin.
I am in no way affiliated with mazda or any mazda dealership or anything in the entire auto industry for that matter. But I do not honestly believe that a car could be released in toronto at one dealership, while in the US, franchises havent been established, dealers dont know MSRPs or specs on the vehicle, nor do they know when they will be getting them, or how many, or ANYthing essentially. The fact that the spotted MS had CA plates even further confirms my thoughts as I assume that MAZDA NA/USA in irvine california or wherever registers the car so they can drive it sround so ppl can test it out. I do not believe, that there is a dealer in california who has these cars already, who is selling them already, and that one of the people who has bought one of these cars, has decided to up and drive it to canada first thing. I could be entirely wrong here, but these are just my thoughts
with regards to the color, i am anxious too. On the website and in the pamphlet in the dark tunnel like place the orange looks awesome, but one eyewitness posted here said it was "fushia like"? and if you watch the video on the mazdaspeed site (mazdausa.com/mazdaspeed) it looks light, like peachish in some shots as you can contrast it with the red tail lights. But I have a pic my dealer took at the NY auto show that shows a bright bright bold orange.
the wait continues....
