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

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.

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.

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).

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...

Rumors are that the starting price for the CX-70 3.3 Turbo will be ~$40K and $52K for the Turbo S. PHEV will be roughly the same price as CX-90.

Also, they are not journalists. They are influencers.

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...

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.

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).

The pictures have leaked and yes, it is the CX-90 with a third row delete.

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.

Honestly, I find it odd that there is so limited web chatter about the CX70. That makes me think it is going to be very, very similar to the CX-90. Just a two row CX-90 with slightly different shape (by bumpers and maybe hatch, etc) but with a sportier drive.

Dealers are saying things to get you to buy a car they have on the lot. My dealer has told me the same thing - CX-70 is the same thing as the CX-90 but with two rows. The front and second row are identical to the CX-90 but the rear cargo area is smaller. I believe they are saying that because...

The Genesis GV80 can be had as a 5 seater or an 7 seater. I can't think of a single car model that was the exact same as another model except for seating differences. From the sounds of it, the body will be a little different than found on the CX90.
