    Mazda CX-5 comparison test drives

    Maybe I have too fat of a backside, but when I test drove the Cx-50, I did not notice the seats.

    CX-90 competition

    Meh. People who want a highlander, are going to buy a highlander. They want a specific thing. A boring, people hauling SUV that can tow their boat.

    Many people with the ND1 changed the exhaust to get a little bit more power.

    CX-90 Trim details, Pricing and Fuel economy press release

    Yeah, but that is one thing that worries me. People in the USA buy vehicles for the "brand" as much as anything. The target people in the 50K car range will buy a Lexus or Acura over a Toyota or Honda at a higher price to let people know that they can afford it and also to show that they are...

    CX-90 Trim details, Pricing and Fuel economy press release

    I think too few trims is viewed as "not premium". In reality, they have the same five trims as with the CX-9 but with different engine choices.

    CX-90 Trim details, Pricing and Fuel economy press release

    The Turbo S MSRP is 53K. The Highlander has black unpainted plastic cladding, same as the Telluride and the Pilot. No trim in those vehicles gives you the option to loose the black cladding. You can get a Volvo XC-90 or Audi Q7 with the nice painted look, but that will cost 20-30K more. The...

    I know that but I am talking about their language. It is written in a vague way, not indicating if it is good or bad to run a lower octane gas...

    CX-90 Trim details, Pricing and Fuel economy press release

    Also, the CX-90 with the inline 6 looks to weigh the same as the CX-9 with the 2.5T. With the addition of another 90 HP, 50 lb/torque, and a 8 speed transmission, I am going to assume the CX-90 will be much faster than the CX-9. Very much competition with the MDX Type S.

    Mazda Canada CX-90 Trim Details

    That base number in HP and torque is similar to the Kia/ Hyundai twin. Hopefully it will get better MPG than those, which are in the 20-21 range overall. I love my CX-9 because the way it drives but also the MPG. I have had a 2018 and a 2021 CX-9. In the 2018, over 51,373 I averaged 24.4 MPG...

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

    For those saying that it is the same size as the CX-9, every video so far says it is bigger, with more room in all rows. I have a feeling this will look much better in person.

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

    Me, I am interested in the MPG. If the Inline 6 gets the same MPG as the 2.5T, that would be very tempting. With that said, I wonder what the weight difference is between the PHEV and the inline 6? The PHEV is down about 20 HP and has the same torque. Over 100k miles in a 2018 CX-9 and a 2021...

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

    From the most recent pictures, the center console actually looks a bit smaller than the CX-60. Might make the area feel roomier but I hope it still has the storage area's that the family crowd wants...

    CX-60 4 Month Owner Review

    Nice review. I have been watching lots of CX-60 video reviews and I found it interesting that some reviews say the ride is too soft and plush and others say it is too firm and sporty. Can you tell us a bit more about the offer of new shock absorbers and also, what are the packs you talk about?

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

    Just saw the video. Car looks very much like the CX-60, which is not a bad thing. The reports from Europe were that the CX-60 was not very sporty. This makes me wonder how a larger car will be sporty. Maybe through the use of a lighter non PHEV engine?

    In thinking what could differentiate the two, I assume the PHEV would be heavier and also might not tow as much. They could also make the I6-T version feel sportier.
