Probably let out a press release as soon as they are arriving at the port lol.
Around the same time as they announce 2019 Mazda 2.2 Diesel is now available in the US and Canada!

Agreed. The Rx7 FD, MS3, where is all that? Mazda is a dog nowadays.I really hope this happens. I'd like to trade our 17 in for a turbo version but wife probably won't want to deal with the hassle and $ hit. We love ours as an appliance, and I've driven it some in heavy snow and the dynamics are actually pretty fun. Had a turbo Forester XT long ago which was a blast. Current model is CVT only, bleh. The lack of quicker variants in this class is frustrating when if you spend more you can get Macan, Cayenne, SQ5, SRT Jeeps, X5M, X3 3.0T, etc etc.. Mazda is doing well with the upcoming upgrades to the Miata, great styling and dynamics in their commuter cars... But the power is lacking.
Put what ever tyres on the AWD 2.5T CX-5, won't be faster than the 2.5T 6 because of extra weight.
However should help it make it better than what ever stock tyres they place on AWD 2.5T CX-5
Even with the same weight the CX-5 will still be slower than a 6.
Aerodynamics.
You would think, but the Fbodies from 1998 to 2002 were equal to the Corvette with the same driveline of the same year, and that holds true for 2015 to 2018, too. So I really dont know. Top speed maybe, but I dunno about the quarter. I bet full tank of gas and heavy driver vs petite girl and quarter tank matters more in the quarter than aero ot the mazda6 vs cx5
Yeah it depends..0-60 is more about getting the power down and gearing..60-80+ is when aero will start to have more impact. I would expect the cx5 to launch better, take the lead until 50 or 60 then the 6 would likely reel it in eeking it out by a 10th or 3 in the 1/4 but why does this matter again(uhm)
Yea we did like 30% down so we definitely could...... might just have to drive it when it’s out and see......
Buying a car will always costs you because cars lose their value over time. We also live in a country where the infrastructure is designed for automobiles. I would rather ride my bicycle to work but that is not possible, so I need a car. I really applaud people who can keep their car for longer than 10 years. I unfortunately do not have that willpower yet, or maybe I just haven't found a car yet that I want to keep forever. My Speed3 is growing into that role though. After getting new tires on it, the ride has become much more acceptable. Looking to upgrade the suspension next. The CX-5 on the other hand, I think is too slow for my driving style. And my wife has started saying that it is slow. So if the new CX-5 gets the turbo, a trade in is a possibility.I can understand if your house is paid for and money is literally not something you care about, but my grandparents made an excellent point to me a while back (they are not poor, on the contrary, they can stroke a check for most things they want. Houses and cars included in that.)
I was visiting them, and had not been in their garage. My grandpa said "Want to ride in a $400K car?" Yeah...wasn't gonna say no to that. So downstairs to the garage we went, where he proudly presented his 2001 Toyota Avalon XLS or XSE or whatever the hell it is. I was befuddled until he said "I have 367K trouble-free miles on that car, and it is 17 years old, and if I had traded it in at the rate some people do, it would have easily saved me $400K by now." Now, I am pretty sure he knows my history of keeping a car 1-2 years and trading it, and this really hit home. I did some mental math, and he was pretty "on". I've been letting that sink in for the last month and a half, because money IS an object to me. I do very well for myself, but my house and my estate are not paid for. "money still matters" to me, and one day, I'd like to be stroking $100K checks like nothing, if I choose to. Decisions and lifestyle choices...
I dunno, just something I ran into with my recent talk of "trading this damn thing in".
