I just saw a grey CX9 driving through town-black all the way.

He's pointing out your grammatical error "I seen" which should be "I saw."
UPDATE: The Black Hawk has landed. More pics when it gets lighter out tomorrow.

Looks good
Guessing a Grand Touring? Seats don't look like the orange/brown on the Signature.

yes, Grand Touring is correct. I very nearly pulled the trigger on the Signature but 3 more items it included wasn't enough to sway me for the $$.

What were those items?

I'm in the same boat, waiting on the new 6 to hit dealers here. Between a GT R & Signature.
Not sure all the differences on the CX9, but on the 6 a Signature adds: 360 camera, F & R parking sensors, chestnut , black headliner, different grille, Japanese Sen wood trim & 'ultrasuede' dash.
If the Chestnut looks good in person, I'll try to swing a Signature, otherwise, I think I'll be plenty happy with a GTR instead. Parking sensors are an add-on item for the GTR, not sure if the 360 camera could be DIY added later.

Likely.
Not sure if ForScan is still Mazda compatible since the split from Ford. If it is, then I'd say the 360 cam is a possibility.

Meh, you don't even need a 360 cam. I'd say even with just back up sensors, you're golden. I can see the desire in having a 360 cam, but at the same time, I think you could easily live without it.

On paper, it's looking like a GTR for me, unless the Signature just blows me away.
Definitely want to see both in person, curious on the different gauges in the Signature as well. I imagine the frameless rearview mirror from the Signature would be a simple DIY add as well.
Back to CX9 talk, I agree that it's not worth the price jump to the Signature.
All you add is the (IMO) nappa leather (not a fan of the color), ambient lighting, LED lit grille, Signature-specific leather wrapped wheel with contrast stitching, Rosewood trim. Not enough content for the $ increase ($2k).

Exactly my thoughts, especially the color of the leather seats. They look better in person than online but still. I think the interior looks nicer in black and then it came down to ambient lighting (no) and the LED grille (ditto). Every other thing on the GT is the same otherwise.

And the price gap is even bigger between a FWD GT & the AWD required Signature.
I imagine the extra bits on the new 6 Signature will trickle up to the CX9 & over to the CX5 in time.
Also, if it matters to you, the 6 is getting AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay this year, with upgrade/retrofits available to other models later in the year.

Love the look of black cars, but damn it's a friggin mess right now. It's suppose to rain the next couple of days so I'm just going to live with it

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
I personally like the grey, because my Subie was DGM (Diamond Grey Metallc) and the look was excellent. But the black looks good too.
So for curiosity, $47K for a CX9? I hope it has every option under the sun to include the ass cooling seats.

Nice deal, hoping to be able to get a good deal on a 6 later this month.

update: I'm really loving this vehicle. Everything positive I read about it online rings true; it handles well, sips fuel, feels more expensive than it is, has everything you could possibly want in a vehicle (standard), and I don't see them everywhere like the ubiquitous X3's, 5's, Grand Cherokees, GM's, and Volvos. Every time I get in it I am reminded how pleased I am with my decision. OOTL-P3.2 did you get yours?
