    CX-70 Driving event for reviewers in May

    Straightpipes review gave the impression that everything was "fixed" but maybe it is not. These are the same issues that have plagued the CX-60 since it was released over 2+ years ago. Something seems off with the new RWD architecture.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Well, 0.80 for GH and 0.85 for the Mazda. The hybrid is fast - no question about that.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Like this: https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid and this https://www.caranddriver.com/mazda/cx-90 What I found surprising is that the CX90 has much better highway MPG.

    Dealer $$ Cost CX-5

    The CX-9 GT was ~45K. You got it for 37K? That is unbelievable! To the OP, tell the dealers what you want to pay and wait for one to bite. They are not your friend. It is a business deal.

    Level 2 Charging experience (CX-90 PHEV)

    That is the way to do it and this is the perfect car for your situation. The PHEV is the vehicle that would fit my situation as well and I need to purchase my next car with my brain and not my heart (which wants the inline 6).

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    That is exactly what my dealer had told me and the one thing I thought they were wrong about. Everything they said - for 6-9 months was correct. The CX-70 would be the same size as the CX-90 with less rear trunk space. I had assumed it was because the removed the hump but it must be for some...

    What car did you learn to drive on?

    Unfortunately, those are all gone. The 928 was my brothers and when he got married the car was wrecked by the wife. And the E-type was an absolute bear to maintain and my local shop traded me two MGB's and a parts car for the E-type and thought me how to do repairs on it. This was 1986 and I was...

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    They had a record year last year and are profitable. Again, they are a company, offering a product. If you like the product and it fits your needs, buy it. If you don't like it and it does not fit your needs, don't. This is a free market and the market will decide.

    CX-70 will have same exterior dimensions as CX-90

    You people complaining about Mazda are funny, as their sales are better than ever. Let the market decide if their strategy will work out. Me, I will need to see what is different between the CX-70 and CX90 to see which is better for me (if either).

    What car did you learn to drive on?

    I learned how to drive in a 1976 Chevy Impala and learned how to drive stick in a 1986 Porsche 928. My first "car" was a 1968 Jaguar E-type.
