I love the solid colors. The metalic shiny paint has been over-used, so it's nice to have some change. I'm partial to the grey.

It has a blue hue in it and changes in the sun. Like in that pic, I think the blue comes out more. In some sunlight, it looks straight up matte grey, not unlike the "bilge grey" we had on the boat.

2021 Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition

Not mine but I have one exactly like it (except mine has the roof rails).  Mazda is better at taking car photos than I am.

One thing I really like about the Carbon Edition: it literally comes in a single color combination.  No options for colors, either interior or exterior.  Makes the decision easy, you either like it or you don't.  This was the only trim level of the CX-9 that had captain's chairs in the 2nd row instead of a bench seat, or a center console.  Makes it a little easier for one of my kids to get in the 3rd row.  The only thing I wish it had that you can get on the Signature trim but not on the Carbon: the 360-degree camera setup.

Those new CX-50s are nice.  I would have gotten a CX-5 or a CX-50 but I needed 3 rows, so CX-9 it is!  Got it in mid-January and it has been enjoyable so far.

I'm curious what the CX-90 will look like.  Supposed to be an I6, slightly longer than the CX-9 (which is nice, because there isn't as much storage behind the 3rd row in the CX-9 as you'd hope), and rear wheel biased AWD.

The manufacturers realized things are only going to get worse, and want to provide their buyers with low viz options.

That is particularly true right now.  People in need of a car will buy what's available instead of holding out for a particular color and/or option package.

I was if-y on the color but it didn't take long for it to grown on me. It's the "S" option as well so, nicer 18 inch rims and tires, black accents on the outside as well as the inside. The black accents work well with the "Ceramic Gray".

Not my pics but same look.

That's actually one of the better Jeep colors nowadays. Way too many gaudy colors and few more appropriate subdued choices. I really likes that metallic OD they had way back with the YJ. The olive they have now is kinda sickly looking. My old TJ is just plain white and tan, works for us.

I'm pretty basic, give me primary colors and white or black; I prefer the "pop" colors for accents. Grays are for subdued parts that provide structure that should be ignored or at least not part of the color scheme.

Doesnt bother me. I like the more natural tones. I have always bought vehicles tan/sand/silverish. Much of my life I lived on a dirt road and these colors hide the dirt better. Guess I should change my outlook now that we are all uppity and they paved our road.

That color is one that people think "looks good" right now, only because it's new and different.  In about 10 years it's going to be one of those "WTF were we thinking" colors that lowers the resale value.
