Bringing 2.5T or even the diesel to CX5 in USA would be silly. It will not help sales much (remember these are budget SUVs). It will be very costly for Mazda - so why would they bring a new engine choice just for 4-5K sales in US?
A lot of folks buying crossovers have illusion that it is safe / easy to get kids in an out / cargo capacity. Not 0-60.
CX5 is a good balance between fun and practical. Only downside is the 2017 decimated 2016.5.
When it gets released and dealers still had 2016.5 i am thinking 20% off msrp would be doable - 2017 is just miles better in every way.
Just imagine getting a loaded 16.5 touring for 23.5 K - that would be sweeet!
