Question Pure White or Silver?

Hey everyone! This is my first post in this forum and I'll start by saying I don't own a P5 yet but I will in the summer.

There's just one problem.. I can't decide on the color! I've narrowed it down to pure white or silver. Just wanted to get other people's opinion. What do you think? Silver is nice but all I see are silver one's in Vancouver and a few yellows. I've noticed that not too many people have white in this forum? What's with that? Yeah I know the white hasn't come to Canada yet but what about the States?

Thanks for your input.

I went through the same thing but I was leaning towards the Pure White the whole time. I found out that there aren't that many white one's out there. I had to go 2 1/2 hours and to another state to get mine...but I'm really glad I got it.

Thanks for the help guys.. yeah I think I'm gonna go for the white now.. yellow is too eye catching and silver is too common...

I went to the dealers here in Vancouver and they said the white won't be in for another 3-4 months.. but they already have them in Alberta? aww man... oh well.. gotta save up anyways so waiting won't be a big problem.

Actually, the guy at Signature Mazda said the White will begin production in May and will be shipped sometime in June or July. He didn't say anything about back orders.. wierd.. Seems like every other city has white already.

Regina Mazda has a pure white 5 sitting on the lot. In their infinite wisdom they decided to add yellow seat covers and "bling-bling" gold wiper blades!!!!!

Other than that it is a sweet little ride... I'm biased though, my ES is pure white! Go for the white, it's classy.

Of course I'm going to say Silver, but I must chime in here--the only color that I absolutely would not have gotten is the white. I don't like the white with all the black trim and roof rack and such (less of a problem in Canada, though). Just MHO, though.

That's what I thought at first but actually there isn't a lot of black trim.. it looks kinda sweet.. did you check out jking's pro5?

The only thing I don't like is the roof rack which I don't have to worry about cuz they don't have it in Canada.

I also found some pics of a white pro with an MP3 steering wheel.. the one with white trims on the side.. looks kinda cool. Can't remember the link though.

Yep, I've seen it. I dunno, I guess I just don't like white cars. The fact that both my parents drive white cars may have something to do with that...

Someone said that they saw the white P5 at Sig Mazda. I didn't see it myself.

But in Vancouver, there are a lot of yellows. =)

White P5?

Hi there

I am new to this forum and thought I would get in on this colour discussion. I just bought a vivid yellow P5 and at the moment I am waiting for it. It is still at the dealership getting the last of the options installed. I was supposed to pick up today but it was delayed which is not a problem since I did not want them to rush the job and botch it up. Anyway as to the colour white or silver, I think the silver one looks good if that is the choices you were going with. It is funny that I was not able to see any of the P5s in white. I went to every Mazda dealer here in Edmonton and not one had a white P5 in stock. They barely had yellow for that matter. Lots of reds, silvers, blues and blacks.

I can hardly wait for mine.

Cheers
Chris

My yellow P5

Hi Richard

I got it from the dealer in Leduc. Quite a difference in prices on the options but I think we got a good deal. As for the white ones at Weber, when I was looking there it was around a month ago so maybe they had some come in? BTW did you see that upgraded yellow P5 in the showroom at Weber? It had full leather seats (heated), new rims and low profile tires, some striping but other than that pretty much standard. The leather was interesting in that it had some yellow piping on the black as well as Protege 5 embroidered across the headrest. Was not too crazy with that as it looked a little too much.

cheers
Chris
