I purchased my car back in september. I believe the closest black mazda6 at that time to my location was a few hours away and I didnt' want to go all that way to check it out. The dealer offered to swap cars with that dealer but they said that would have taken a few weeks possibly and I was desperate for a vehicle since I had no means of transportation at the time. My transmission on my car just fell out in the middle of the highway when i was sitting at a red light. how is that for a story to tell. Just started shaking violently and then busted the bolts off. I liked the charcoal gray car, althought the blue looked nice..... I do agree that I got the best of both black and silver. Silver is a little too sporty and overused by alot of people. Black is very nice to work with although it gets dirty as soon as the wind blows haha.
