That 12k expectation, whether it was plan A or B, does show they know this isn't a differentiated product. It's an add on with 12k predicted, and what's so odd is there's nothing wrong with the idea of adding on, just market it as so. The transmission is their own, I wonder why they did that...

What's hilarious is there is nothing contentious about saying the X5 is better than the Mazdas, in fact when it comes to sporty SUVs the X5 is the one I've seen most often referred to as the best on the market. There is no shame in an SUV falling short of an X5...its not a knock on the Mazdas...

This is just it. I haven't driven these cars, own neither and are far from a fan boy. I've been quite critical of the 90. But the Grand highlander, with all it's accolades and frankly rave reviews, it is often mentioned as not keeping up when it comes to driving dynamics. That's not a knock...

Yes, right, it's just here. Not the rest of the automotive world that has reacted with surprise at what the 70 is. Just us.:unsure:

I have found a dealer about 45 min away that's great, compared to the one 5 min away. I don't think i will switch, but I won't lie it's tempting and if I had an issue where it might matter, I'd drive. Will do occasional stuff there to make sure I'm not a complete stranger. Did buy from the one 5...

Looked at the build it feature on the Cdn website, I will say there are small visual differences between the CX70 and 90. Seems (if the renderings are accurate) less chrome on the 70 Signature ICE models. And also lower corners of the bumpers have more black inserts. Overall I actually think...

The other thing is, TBH, Mazda reliability is why I got rid of my CX9. So it didn't help me to go with a trusted Japanese brand anyway. Naturally it's about odds, but at the same time I am not about to drive most toyotas just bc they last. And even if one wanted to discount the leak issue being...

i had a specific user case as I was swapping out both our vehicles within a yr and I also tow, but when the CX90 came out I wanted to like it, but decided to go different route. I considered waiting for the 70 (this was last spring) but situation forced my hand. I strongly considered the...

Actually just glanced at the japanese website, they don't list the 70, 8, 9 or 90 there. Tops out at the 60 which makes sense given their tendency to small vehicles. The 60 must be like a Tahoe there. So its not like Australia is just getting Japan's lineup... Course they do have the 6...

Good god, their website now has CX5 CX60 CX70 CX8 CX9 CX90 Not to mention the 3, 30 and MX. Their sales people must have nightmares keeping the models and trims straight! Does seem like the 8 is on way out? Assume 9 is as well. Nevertheless, does make one wonder, right hand drive country...

Is it the headlights that you refer to? I think it was those that didn't get it the top rating? Seems a lot don't get the top rating these days, not sure if the methodology changed since it used to seem like more did. Not sure I'd be concerned if it's just headlights, given the size, weight...

After that look up bangle butt.

Mental note to self, don't let wife test drive a B58.:D Now, being serious, should we go down that road (sort of a personal bucket list thing, that engine), we'd prob go for the x3 to get max power to weight ratio and easier commute...but the x5 would do to! Underrated HP figures for it as...

Wish one of these journalists would just get a bit dirty and measure the damn thing. Unless they were somehow not allowed, which would add to the ridiculous charade.

I had to look up images myself, it seems to be the same carpeted layer but on the sides of rear cargo area. Having never had that, today I learned it's a thing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYRJwtVIo64 This video has some views, he says it's back nappa but I don't know how one can be sure it's not the regular. I think it's a Premium Plus model.

Sorry just to add on here, interestingly the Jeep GC 5 seater is 193.5 inches, the L version is almost a foot longer at a hair under 205. Quite a large seven seater for the mid size class. Basically clipping the heels of the full size Wagoneer/Yukon/Exped size. Tows significantly more than most...

Isn't the Passport a unibody? I thought it shared chassis with the Pilot. I was thinking how Audi seems to do ok with the small Q3, the bread and butter Q5 and the Q7 sort of straddling upper sizes. I'd guess it's smaller than a GLS but bigger than a GLE (I will look up). They do have the Q8...

Black exterior, or a dark grey for me works. If they have the black rims (like some videos said Canada will have), also for me makes the cladding easier to swallow. i'd go further if I could, dark grey, leave the black cladding, black rims and a black roof. I do like that look.

Yes, but if I could manage it, I'd love an X3 with the B58 for the commute into city. But certainly both are killer options that IMO the CX90 doesn't really approach. Whether they are worth the extra $ is perhaps a diff answer.
