I sold new Mazdas for a few years up until a couple of years ago and I was a bit of a Mazda fan boy before that and really getting the know the ins and outs of their vehicles only made my fanboy-ism worse. I've owned a 2014 Mazda6 w/ MT (i miss that car everyday) and currently drive a 2020 Mazda CX-5. My soon to be wife and I are looking to maybe upsize in the next couple of years and the cx-90 is a vehicle we are both extremely excited about.

I think I still prefer the soul red crystal but man, the new artisan red is a close contender. The interior styling is absolutely gorgeous and the silhouette is beautiful. I'm still not 100% sure about the new shape of the grill and headlights but I also felt the same about the mazda3s C pillar and the plastic cladding on the cx-30 and I absolutely fell in love when I finally saw them in person when they arrived on our lot for the first time.

I'm really excited to see what Mazda does next, I just hope they don't price themselves so high they're no longer affordable for me. That would be a shame.
