    It's polymetal gray metallic. It's not a color that has any upcharge like the red, white or machine gray metallic but they've made it exclusive. You can't get it on a sedan. Only a premium trim hatch, which I had to get for the manual anyway. On some other models, it's available as a "carbon edition" trim.

    They’re slower and I drive like enough of an idiot with an auto. I miss the engagement of a manual but maybe only 10-20% of the time while I’m driving. I do hate to see them going the way of the dodo though.

    As mentioned, that color is Polymetal Grey.

    My sister has a Mazda 3 in that color.







    Certainly an interesting and unusual color.

    Yeah it's one of those colors that looks dramatically different based on lighting. It IS the color I thought it was and it looks especially good with the red leather Mazda offers.

    3 of my last 4 cars have been manuals. I rack up miles pretty quick and every auto has had transmission issues eventually. It's getting tougher to keep doing that. It was a no cost option on this car, not a $1400 discount.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Speaking of Mazda's - mine is that Polymetal grey - Carbon Edition with the red/maroon seats. Absolutely looks different depending on the light. Washed it the other day and did a quick one with Griot's Garage Speed Shine and Best of Show Detailer that I had laying around. The pic of the car in the garage, was done right after the PPF was put on in December at Detailer's Domain.
    Speaking of Speed Shine, is it outdated/out gunned by the competition?
