If you see a silver one in SoCal, Orange County, Mission Viejo/Aliso with NC tags, thats me! I've see a few around here but still a rarity.

I saw a silver one on Friday on my way to the Mazda dealer in Mission Valley (SD) to go for a test drive and I see a silver one in my alley... wait that's mine!

Saw two just today and almost in the same spot (Torrey Pines). Both liquid silver, one had Hine tags. Anyone here?
Ha, saw another one like mine at work, just purchased as well with the Hine tags. There goes the neighborhood lol

That seems to be the norm. The dealers are losing their selling edge for an all new vehicle and that's a shame. We should give them $500 over MSRP in sympathy.
It seems to also be the norm for the BMW X1, which is a hot little seller in Europe and I was anxiously awaiting it's arrival stateside until I saw it in the flesh and I'm not as enthusiastic as I thought I would be. The CX-5 fits the bill for my needs just as well, better proportioned than the X1 and is at a lower price point to boot! With the soon to be release of the 2.5L, it's at the top of my list.OTOH, we should be able to get better deals than all the early adopters and hopefully, all the quirks of a new model have been corrected. As for me wanting the 2.5L, I don't know how much I'll be able to negotiate the price.
Spotted the illusive CX-5 in the wild. Nearly all of the ones I've seen out here have been GTs (I prefer the Touring, myself). I think that the red zeal mica is my 2nd favorite color behind metropolitan grey. If only Mazda brought the dolphin grey mica to the CX-5... I love that color.
Saw a Gray GT in the parking lot of the Giant supermarket in Hunt Valley. My gray touring is parked next door. Must be an employee because it is still there. I can see it from my office window. I feel like I am about to step into a staking situation.

The two I saw the other day near Torrey Pines beach, a metro gray and a liquid silver are employees at my company. Saw the gray one in my lot and the silver one in another... Man the neighborhood is really going downhill lol

The reason I'll never buy a white car!
You should see what a black one looks like most of the time, usually some variation of dirty...

I was gonna mention that too... Personally I love the color I have (LSM), I had considered a 3 hatch in that same color as well even if it is typically one of the more popular colors (are black, white and gray/silver really colors? Lol) available.
In 07 Mazda offered a really cool blue, phantom blue maybe? Man do I love that color, I had an old bass guitar that color, sort of a dark blue-green. I saw a Beemer at the SD auto show 2 weeks ago with a similar color but so rich in color and depth, I almost had an orgasm there on the show floor lolol
