I swear I saw a Galaxy Grey today
 

Is that even possible? Are the 2006's in stock yet? Maybe it was just the glare, but it didn't look like any Titanium I have ever seen. If it was, I have to admit, I like Titanium better. There seemed to be too much blue in it.

Its possible. the first of the 2006s should be getting to lots now.

Did it have a paper tag :dunno:

+1

I did a search on Mazda's web site. There are several 2006 Galaxy Grey's sitting on lots in the Tampa area.

The first batch of 06s went on sale Friday.

I saw one on Mar 4th outside of vegas on I-15. It was brand new. No tags, just the dealer license plate frame. Pretty ugly color...

Great news. That means now I can finally go test drive an 06 automatic to see how much of an upgrade it really is to the former automatics (and of course make myself feel better about swapping to stick). :mdrmed:

i saw all the 06 models in the dealer lot today.

i wud say i like galaxy, but if you see it from the picture you can't hardly tell if its ti or galaxy.

the new color that impressed me : phantom blue. it can turn between blue and green depending on the light and angle you see it. pretty impressive.

i took few pictures from my cell phone...will upload it shortly.

You're out of luck with the 06 automatics at this time. They are still a few weeks out from hitting dealers. Just manuals have arrived so far, at least here.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!!! :)

i took with my v3 rzr phone, tried to plug in usb cable but it said need to download some software first ::(

i am still searching for that software from motorola website. anyone can give me a quick link plsss

My dealership has both those colors in but since they haven't called so say mine has been "un-plasticked" yet I didn't see a point in driving 40 minutes to just to look at them. :)

I haven't been paying attention, but am I right in that the only difference between '05 and '6 MANUALS is color choice?

Thanks.

Pretty much. :) The GT package has that keyless entry/start transmitter thingy though. Minor interior cosmetic changes reported but not seen yet (such as smooth leather and shinier metal accents).

smooth leather???

Really? One of my friends downloaded pictures off her phone without needing any software. My CD that came with my printer drivers and stuff worked. Just plugged in the cable, pushed something on the phone, and it opened the software to read from "USB storage device." It did happen to be a photo printer and has an photo printing program so that may be why.

Yeah. That was reported somewhere. The leather on the sides (at least for sure on the 05s) have ribs on them. Supposedly they will be smooth now.

Oh, ok I got ya! I have the ribbed. :)

u right. the minor changes i noticed from the interior are thicker steering wheel and the two silver color ring knobs on the center consol are now shinier.

That's good to know. I haven't seen yet. My car is currently still mostly sealed in plastic and sitting in the back lot at my dealership waiting for attention.

Not that it really matters, but I'm fairly certain that it's vinyl, not leather that is ribbed. When do you get yours?!? Counting down the hours yet?

Yep!!! All I know is it got to the dealership a few days ago. Other cars that are actually going out onto the lot for sale take priority in prepping and everything, and since they had 60 vehicles coming in that pushed mine back a little bit. I called today and found out it is still covered in plastic. Tomorrow would be nice since it is my day off but that is probably too optimistic so sometime next week it will be ready. Thursday is my best day to pick it up so probably on Thursday. Hopefully, I find out about the new job I applied for before my car is ready. It's been a little over two weeks since I applied and they said they would let me know in one week. Apparently there is some sort of "issue" with my job references, since they can't seem to obtain one. I have only had two actual jobs my whole life, my current one (which refuses to give references for any reason) and a part time job at church back in high school cleaning and doing set up. I don't know what they expect. I passed the job tests, the background check, the drug test, and my employment and schooling on my resume have all checked out. I am supposed to get the job (so they keep telling me) but for some reason that darned reference they can't seem to obtain from anywhere is just so gosh darn important to their paperwork!!! Other places I have looked into info about jobs at say that in most instances by law they are prohibited from asking for and trying to get professional references. :dunno: If this is so, what is up with this place??? I swear, if they don't hurry up I am going to have some sort of psychotic break and go postal. :eek: They're making me crazy!!!

bunnygirl..the dealer that i went today still have one 05 model exactly what you would like.

its winning blue fully loaded even have casette player, nineteen inches crome rims, and custom blue and black interior. i shud have thought to bring my camera with me to snap those 06 models interior and exterior when i did my oil change there this morning :spank:

:wallbash: You're right. I would have loved it with the blue/black interior!!!
