The styling on the Lincoln isn't nearly as agressive as the Mazda. In fact, I think the Lincoln more closely resembles the Lexus crossover. In any case, I'm just glad Mazda didn't choose such a hideous tail-light design, haha.
 
Follow the vehicle curveture lines remove away tail lights and minor cosmetics you are looking at nearly identical vehicles

Notice this lexus rx series= toyota highlander
infinity g35=nissan 350z
hummer h3=nissan xtera
lexus es300=toyota camry
acura mdx 3rd gen only=honda pilot

all car manufactures use same vehicle structure within another vehicles design base. aka chassy

Car and driver always points these things out by the way JMhumr did you have your car ecu flashed? that you are getting those gas numbers? so far i am only getting about 17mpg

(crazy) (headshake (rlaugh)

Styling may be similar, as are many sport crossovers but it is larger, has different suspension, different engine and transmission,
and not as fun to drive as well as costing thousands more

I've parked next to an "Edge" and although similiar in shape to the CX7, they did some "butt ugly" things to the trim on the outside of the vehicle. No where near as sharp as a CX7
 
mkx and the edge look identical. the mazda doesnt even come close to a familiar on road resemblance. and if you think it does, ur trying to look to hard
 
Lincoln MKX = Ford Edge

both of which use a different chassis (IIRC)/engine/trans. than the CX-7

so no, they are not sister vehicles and the resemblance is merely coincidental.
 
MKX is a luxury version of the Edge. Just like Mercury Mariner and Ford Escape are the same just one is more luxurious etc. Hubby just got the ugly Mariner 9 months ago and now wants the MKX instead! He loves my CX 7 and wants to take my car everywhere when we go together some place. Can't beat the zoom over so-so Mariner style. Hate the seats in the Mariner the most next to it's styling. Mine is 100 times better styling and comfort!!

And you can't fault his choice in women or in the car she chooses.:)

It's funny that you think that. I would rather spend $40k on a BMW than a Chevy that will break down in a few years. All the interiors of American cars look like crap. They use the same style they did 20 years ago. American car companies have been losing tons of money and business to foreign competitors becaus they make bad cars. Clearly you know NOTHING about cars!! P.S. I don't apprciate your sarcasim and if you don't own a Mazda CX-7 you should'nt be on this forum...
 
Watch it guys...Let's end the "American Vs Japanese" debate right here...Stay on topic...Thanks!

Actually I am a Mechanical Engineer (Degreed) in my forties and have built more car engines than you have probably owned. The new Vette is the best car out right now for the money...nothing can touch it for handling and speed for the dollar. Yea..I know nothing about cars.(rofl)

And "Leave the forum because I dont own a 7?" OMG...(laugh)

Guys...Drop it...I love the vette too but this thread is about the CX-7 Vs MKX...NOTE...Any member of Mazda Forums is welcome to post in the CX-7 Forum...We are a community afterall :D

Now BACK ON TOPIC!!!
 
The Edge and MKX are the same, simply badging differences. The CX-7 is quite different.

While both use the Mazda 6 chassis as the basis the CX-7 stays much closer to the 6 than the Edge and the MKX. Look at the specs.

Edge
Length: 185.7 in. Width: 75.8 in.
Height: 67 in. Wheel Base: 111.2 in.

MKX
Length: 186.5 in. Width: 75.8 in.
Height: 67.5 in. Wheel Base: 111.2 in.

CX-7
Length: 184.1 in. Width: 73.7 in.
Height: 64.8 in. Wheel Base: 108.3 in.

Length: 186.8 in. Width: 70.1 in.
Height: 56.7 in. Wheel Base: 105.3 in.
