2009 delivery date?

[therov]

Hi folks--

New to this forum, and I'm glad to have found it. I'm a future Mazda5 owner, and perhaps best known to most of you as being the questioner that sparked the ill-advised Warren Brown rant against the 5 back in January. His endorsement of the CX-7 did not resonate with me at all because we are not in the market for an SUV or crossover, period.

Anyway, we have a dying 95 Camry that we can keep on life support for a little while longer, if needed. We know that the 5 delivered to DC-area dealers in late fall 2008; does anyone here know of the approximate delivery date for the 2009 models? We'd like either the benefit of the new model year or good deals on the 2008s.

Thanks, TheRov

Oh no, Warren Brown's Mazda5 vs. CX-7 reviews pop-up once again! LOLz

Maybe the guys in here have more info about the 09 release date in the US, but the 09 Mazda5 Canadian model specs already popped-out and I don't see major differences from the recently facelifted 08 model, so if there are good 08 deals I would take one.

quick intro again. i am johnson and i work at a mazda dealership in toronto, ontario.

we already order the 2009 model mazda 5. last shippment for 08 will land in our dealership in 1-2 months. the 09 model according to the system is PRD=Production. when a vehicle is in PRD, it takes roughly 3-4 months.

that's in toronto of course.. so not sure about ur area.. give or take a month difference i guess.
