US Diesel's big splash introduction
- Thread starter Monterra
- Start date
^^Good stuff..came across this recent test comparo of our 2.5g..9.2 to 60, just squeaked in under 9 with a rollout..yikes!

Think it depends on conditions and testing methods as I've seen online some reviews where the 2018 2.5G is around the 8-9 second bracket
Looks like Mazda has stopped production due to the heavy rains in Japan.

That's both CX-5 factories down.

About the only thing about the diesel that's splashing at all. RAV4 gonna come out first with their Hybrid and unless some idiot wants it to tow his ski boat "because", it's going to be a flop. I mean, if it is ever anything.
Well that and the fact that it won't have a CVT that I loathe in just about every application I've sampled...including but slightly less so in the ascent but it had enough things going for it that it vaulted to the top of the list for our Highlander's replacement in a year or so.
Try November LA motor show (uhm)
not falling for that one again. (glare)
If I am not mistaken, KF was announced at LA motor show in 2016. So was thinking might be the same for the diesel...
~2 months out diesels on lots for sale? Stings but thats pretty easy... over full stack. I will however bet brotha unob that it will beat his new rav4 hybrid to our market...and be better to drive and smoke it (why not?)in terms of real world hwy fe which should only widen as speeds increase but it should be an interesting comparo!

"Better to drive"...? That's too subjective for a bet.
As far as highway fuel economy...according to who? The EPA? Motortrend's 75mph cycle? Owner forums? Fuelly?
Now, "beat to market in North America..." THERE is a very easily quantifiable event. What would you like to bet?
Hadn't seen this but here's a little eye candy Jedi:

Yep. I'm on for that.
-The signature/sn must pass community standards for profanity, vulgarity, etc.
-The length of time is until the winner is tired of looking at it and OK's the change back to whatever the loser desires.
Hybrid RAV4
Diesel CX5
Whichever goes on sale and can physically be purchased at a dealership in The United States of America, not counting territories, etc. only lower 48, first.
