    Can't speak on that, all I know is what I've been told. Typically the "come and get it" message comes from dealers not the manufacturer -- unless sufficient inventory exists. Tesla benefits from not having to appease a dealer network-- that's why the "Tesla can..." arguments are typically not...

    Road noise: I have no frame of reference vs other vehicles in the class because I haven't driven any of them. In my opinion, the car is quiet yet still engaging to drive. Acceleration: Not burdened at all. In fact, versus the previous CX-9, the turbo4 has quicker response because it's not...

    The power is sufficient and instantaneous. Having all that torque at low RPM is noticeable when passing on the freeway. I drove the Signature trim and it was my first experience with Lane Departure Warning and Head-up display. I thought both are amazing additions to vehicle technology. In...
