Because it is about the same price as the CX-70. It is a lot smaller, but a lot of us were hoping the CX-70 would be smaller than it is. For me, the CX-70 is too big for my need, I already have a CX-9, so if the CX-70 would have been smaller it could have replaced our second car, but now it...

The CX-80 should be the equivalent of the CX-8. Which was a shorter CX-9 and was available in other markets. I really don’t expect to have it come to North-America, just like we never had the CX-8. It will likely be the rest of the world version of the CX-90.

That’s interesting, because (on paper at least) the PHEV only gains a 4hp gain from 93, and i don’t believe the skyactiv 4 cylinders are known from benefitting from high octane fuel. The premium fuel must provide benefits lower in the powerband then, which wouldn’t show in the HP rating...

With regards to a 2021, you just need to make sure it doesn’t fall within that VIN range: • 2021 CX-9 (US/Canada spec 2.5T with 10.25" center display) with VINS from JM3TC******509027 - 541070 (produced from October 6, 2020 to September 13, 2021) • 2021 CX-9 (Canada/Mexico spec 2.5T with 7" or...

The jet black mica is a really good black in my opinion. My neighbour got a new CX-90 jet black mica and its black was stunning compared to the other black cars from my other neighbours (Volvo XC-60, Tesla model 3). Of course, it got dirty within a few days ;) but all black cars do that. Also...

This TSB below also applies (look into the brake judder section of the document). It is commonly called brake warping, but PTguy is correct that they don’t technically warp (and he linked a good technical article on the subject, I learned something new.)...

Warped discs maybe ? How old are your brake discs ? Have you had your brake serviced recently?

@Ninja_Matt thanks a lot for the detailed clarification. I didn't know some brands would restrict to the point of only accepting returns at the same dealer ! That is insane.

I am in Ottawa. My experience with the car market is terrible here. Prices are high and dealers give nothing for trade-in. Thankfully I am within reach of Montreal and the GTA, so I usually buy my cars there. I will take a look at the market in the GTA and see if I can spot one of those deals...

Correct. I should have been clearer, but that is not the reason I started this thread. I wanted to better understand the nuances of leasing, and try to figure out why the leasing numbers in my calculations were not very advantageous. Agreed financing and keeping a car for a long time is the...

LHD conversion won’t be an issue for the CX-60. All of Europe uses LHD. (Except the UK). Powertrain is already in service in the Cx-90. Probably just need crash testing and fuel economy testing. And some minor lights adjustments.

I forgot to ask. Can you explain what you mean by some brand have more restricted lease ? I am not familiar with the difference in flexibility some brand offer over the others.

So I punched my numbers in Leasehacker, with a slight adjustment to the residual value, because BMW calculates it at $31,720$ (instead of the 35,000 I had estimated based on current used market) (Link and screenshot at the end of this post). It still falls to about the same price per month, and...

Taxes are 14.975% were I live ;). They were included in my estimate and so was also freight and prep. I will try and digest everything later tonight. Thank you everyone for the feedback.

I used the online quote, i don’t have any pricing from dealers yet. I can’t seem to find the 7.7%MSRP reduction though. Maybe i will post a screenshot later. I used the financing calculator built in the « build your vehicle » page because i added the premium package to the vehicle. Maybe I will...

I believe his point is that if you get one of the deal he is advertising, then leasing becomes an interesting proposition. Or to leverage the PHEV rebate in the states for example. I wouldn’t consider the concept of leasing as being automatically bad. For example, i am exactly the guy that...

Glad I asked the question, I am learning more and more. I understand the situation is different for everyone. - I live in Canada, so the EV tax credit applies the same on purchase and on lease. But I agree it would be a huge incentive to lease in the US. - Maybe the landscape in Canada is...

Here is the link with the photos of were to look at https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10232269-0001.pdf

The TSB shows were the cracks would be and have a few example photos. Do you have it on hand?

I see a lot of people here are looking to lease their next car (especially for higher end cars). I looked into the numbers and I am considering it to get a BMW X3 and I honestly don’t understand the logic. I created a new thread to keep this one on topic. I would love to hear your logic and why...
