    CX-90 have arrived at dealers

    Nice! My local dealer north of Toronto said sales will begin in the fall. Seems a bit far off, but he's a pretty good sales guy, senior and been there a while.

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    True true, massive was a poor choice of word. But that's reassuring at least, if this new engine isn't hopefully trying to re-invent the wheel. I will time out of my lease in the early winter 2024 so I guess there will have been at least some time for the kinks to show. But clearly one is never...

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    I'd never seen this savagegeese review of the CX9 before, but he gets right into the engine design at about the 10 min mark. I know very little about how engines are designed or work, but can one sort of infer from how the turbo 4 was made, that it was maybe trying to do too much and it...

    Mazda Canada CX-90 Trim Details

    Yes, that was a no go for me before. Have a CRV with CVT and it's considered a good version and still I regret it every time I drive it. I havent driven a Pathfinder but read it does tend to need a heavy foot to get it really going quick, sort of opposite to the 9. Going from the touch the gas...

    Mazda Canada CX-90 Trim Details

    Not gonna lie, I've been looking at a lot of Pathfinder photos lately. Obviously doesn't drive like a CX9 but priced nicely and tows well. I'm coming around on the looks. Every day I think maybe I'm better off dumping the problem of the cylinder head.

    Mazda Canada CX-90 Trim Details

    Was looking at the build feature and using the 360 view. The rear bumper, or lack of, really does make that tailgate a potential point of contact. I mean, obviously one shouldn't be backing into anything even with the bumper, but I wonder if one did back up say into a wall in a parking garage...

    Mazda Canada CX-90 Trim Details

    Agree. I also am a lot more forgiving of all this the more I dig into the CX9 cylinder head issue. If this thing handles, I'll overlook any nitpicks and dump my CX9 for any level with the big boy engine.

    Will the CX-90 PHEV be gutless?

    What? Isn't that like Tahoe heft?

    CX-90 competition

    Yup. And not even really a big boat, 5000 lb limit IIRC. Actually lower than some of the midsize class like the Telluride and Pathfinder. No increase over the less than Grand Highlander.

    Um ya this has my interest peaked.

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    Yes and no. Same length now as an Atlas, but a good 4 inches up on a Pilot, Ascent, Telluride. That's not negligible in the same class. I find length is more limiting than width...height and wheelbase I don't really care. Escalades are a class size up and considered huge, but theyre now just...

    I watched a few videos again, starting to like it tbh. Wonder if my CX9 will now start to look weird to me...

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    Ya I'm not in love with the rear, but I guess for the extra room i could live with it. Front seems more tweaked in looks rather than a full on change. My instinct is I like the current gen's looks better. Power #s don't blow me away, maybe I fell for the hype. I think for me this will come down...

    Dragggggged out and in one video the guy said driving it will not happen until end of March.

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    Thanks, interesting review. Not a class i've paid much attn to, but do have a crv sort of getting on and it really does bore me to death...maybe I should pay attn. I've read some less than positive things about the CX50 but that review has me wondering about it. I mean, if the handling is the...

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    at 2:53 of the video you do see the seat with a similar trim line (in black) as the cx50. The stripe up the middle, which would sit right in the middle of...well, you know. I could have sworn I read here (can't find the post now) that the stripe tends to create discomfort. I guess it would...

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    Yup. But, I had a lot of anticipation for the new Pilot, and i sort of just nodded when it came out. I was figuring it was the only real competition so I'm not sure it anything else from non luxury brands will sway me away. I won't like the price, I'm pretty sure of that, but when MDXs are...

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    I've had V8s (unfortunately in pick ups not sedans/coupes but still), however never an inline 6. I'm running out of chances to have an engine like that, so I know which box I'd check all things being equal.

    Latest CX-90 teaser (12/13/2022)

    Ya, Highlander and Pilot too I've since noticed. I know some 5 kid families, this class is just too small for them, NVM a 6 kid family (I will say I don't know one fam with 6... good lord)
