Sweet Wife wouldn't let me get the red or blue 💙. I ordered mine from a dealer in Pitt Meadows BC Canada.My deposit is in on a Turbo S crystal blue pearl. But Mazda has not opened the order banks for that trim yet.
Congrats @DrGT and welcome to the forum! Great choice on the color combo. Did you consider any other SUVs before picking the CX-90?Artisan Red GT PHEV with white interior.
ETA according Mazda Canada: May-June
First in line at my local dealer, no official order though
I also have a deposit on a Kia EV9. I am waiting for the final specs (tonight?) and price, which may be prohibitive!Congrats @DrGT and welcome to the forum! Great choice on the color combo. Did you consider any other SUVs before picking the CX-90?

I would think factory, not sure how comfortable a dealer would be to cut a hole in the dash for the controller knob.for tow pkg any idea if it will be install in factory or at dealership? it wasn't available when i ordered mine
Welcome to the forum. I suggest you play it safe and go with Gray. From what I can tell, people will either love or hate Artisan Red. It's a bit of a new color and the gray is of a tone that had stood the test of time, it will never get old.I am torn between Machine Gray and Artisan Red. The red looks great in pictures and I LOVE my Mazda 3 in Soul Red but I don't like burgundy cars. I realize the Artisan will look somewhere between black (or dark burgundy) and red depending on the sun but I really wish I could see one in person before putting down a deposit. I am going with the PHEV premium (so black fenders) and I know the Machine Grey will look OK with the black fenders (and tinted windows). I also generally keep cars 10+ years and I know the Grey will never go out of style while the Red might be the flavor of the day (remember how popular Forest Green was for a while?). I also wonder if having 2 off-red cars in the garage might look weird though I also have a 2008 Miata thats Galaxy Gray so that's not a good argument. I don't know if I gamble on loving the Artisan Red or take the Machine Gray which I know I will like...Thoughts????
If Mazda would offer a nice light or medium blue like they have in the past, that would make me REALLY want one. I don't want to settle on a color. Have you seen the Blue Ridge Mountain blue on the BMWs? That is a near perfect blue for my taste.I am torn between Machine Gray and Artisan Red.

damn. ordered too early and it wasnt an option at the time. even if dealer are comfortable to cut a hole, i am not. may wait for a bit hope they get some practices..I would think factory, not sure how comfortable a dealer would be to cut a hole in the dash for the controller knob.
Hey @MazdaMan welcome to the forum! Would you consider getting Soul Red again since you liked it so much on your Mazda3? Or do you want to get a new color?I am torn between Machine Gray and Artisan Red. The red looks great in pictures and I LOVE my Mazda 3 in Soul Red but I don't like burgundy cars.

I absolutely love the Soul Red on my Mazda 3 but I am not sure I want the same color on two vehicles. My local dealer has an Artisan Red in the showroom. I am going to go look at it in the next few days. I know I will like the Machine Gray but I'm wondering if I will love the Artisan Red. I already have a deposit for a PHEV but can still change options/colors until I have a VIN. They are saying June to see the PHEVs and then maybe a few more months to deliver. Thanks for all the responses.Hey @MazdaMan welcome to the forum! Would you consider getting Soul Red again since you liked it so much on your Mazda3? Or do you want to get a new color?

That looks amazaing! Can you get the blacked out trim (like Australia can) in Canada? I would definitely go with Machine Grey if I could but it's not an option in the States. Would take alot of work to powder coat it all but it would be nice to do all the trim in the same color as the rims.Mine I ordered today March 26 2023 View attachment 168
