Anyway, here in the states, it looks like the same color of "Laser Blue Mica" on the Mazda Protegés (which is a brighter/lighter blue when compared, side by side, to the "Lapis Blue Metallic" from the Mazda6. I recently have been spending a lot of time at Freeman Mazda (- which I highly recommend to anyone here in the Dallas area that's thinking of buying) deciding between the 6 and Protegé5 since my 1990 Ford Probe met it's unfortunate demise prematurely ...
I ended up with a "Black Mica" Protegé5.
Hey, for those of you who have not seen these colors in person, the "Mica" styled paints have little "gold metallic" flecks in it - which is very sweet when direct sunlight hits the car's paint (but in shade it makes the car's paint look a little dusty).

Edit: I did a search on our forum to see if anything more could be added to the "Mica" issue ...

But, I'm confused, the Protegé5 (hatchback/wagon) has been available, here in America since 2002 .... but we won't see the Mazda6 hatchback until this fall or later ...
Anyway, when I drove the Mazda6 (4) and the Protegé5 (4) I liked the Protegé5 feel "behind the wheel" better and being a smaller, lighter car, the "zoom-zoom" was nicer - IMHO
Plus, it was less money so that means I can pass the saving along to my RX-8 purchase ... down the road
:D

Yeah, I'm sorry for you guys that you still haven't got the 6 hatchback and stationwagon (called 'Sport' and 'SportBreak' in Holland)! They really look much better than the sedan
Smart move :D
