Well if it does come in as a MY 24, expect a price increase from Mazda

Mazda has done it that way for lots of cars. Including the CX5 in 2012. The Mazda6 in 2013. The 2019 Mazda3 in 2018. And the CX90 in 2023. This way they can get 18 months out of the model year without having an odd 2023.5 or something silly.

My son has a 2021.5 CX 5. Very odd indeed.

I placed a deposit for a CX-50, was told the waiting time is 5-6 months (Canada). I recently found a CX-50 of the specs I want on the lot at a different dealer. How does one go about cancelling the order and getting a deposit back from the original dealer. This is my first time doing this, would appreciate any advice.

Uh…call the dealership sales manager.
By law it is refundable.
Tell him/her the situation and go from there.

Don't put deposits on anything and dealers stop this game. They will never stock anything until people make them. No one wants to carry inventory. But you don't order bread from Safeway.... if they could get away with that they would though. It's always people choice. Sadly people are followers not leaders.

What game are you referring to?
The lack of stock due to supply chain issues (microchips etc.)?
I fail to see how a refundable deposit on a $50,000 vehicle and a loaf of bread at Safeways has any correlation to supply and demand.
I buy bread once a week, a vehicle, not quite as often.🤔
