The Edge St loaded with the big brakes is over $50K if you can believe that.
A thirsty twin turbo v6 and still only doing low 6's? For 50K? Yeesh. Must be a really heavy suv.

785 pounds heavier than CX5T, but it does 5.7 0-60 according to Car&Driver.
Hmmmmm.........
edit: ST model..you'd think it would be lighter?
but anything to get there will penalize gas mileage, which is one stat that Mazda fails to excel in already.
I will be the first to admit that MPG is probably one of the main reasons we don't get wider tires and wheels as well. I will also admit, again, that MPG isn't that big of a deal to me, hell anything above 20 is golden and appreciated...
Okay those are better numbers.....I was about to say damn! thats slow. The ST got me interested when I saw the commercials. The real world mpgs would increase total cost of ownership outside my budget unforunately.

Thats my point theyre are still big hulking CUV so there is that much more mass to overcome to make it handle and drive nice. Versus a car ..... which 3 major automakers have basically quit making. Im not saying CUV should not exist. Rather it shouldnt be the only thing that exists.
You could get an Focus ST (or GTI) for under 30k. A CUV that even comes close performance wise is a lot more money.
Were ending up with less choices and mediocre performance at the price points most people can afford.
For those of us who want Zoom Zoom anyway.
Nobody pays that though. They are being advertised here for as little as $40.5
Exactly to get what you had in the ST you need a Macan or something along that line and that*s serious money.
I mean more from the handling perspective. The ST being FWD it can*t really use all its power anyway. But yea a CX-5 with some upgrades!
Probably the biggest thing that bothers me is all the body lean.
Anyway..... the Edge ST would be a better if they figured out a better transmission IMO
I do know one person who has one and seems pretty happy with it.
I agree, Edge isn*t even an option for me, being a Ford and trannie to boot, lol, pass...
Give me a Mazda version of the X3 M40i and let me give you $45-50k for it and let*s be done with it...LOL. That*s one sweet ride, but no way would I buy it (driven the s*** outta one though)...

When I checked they were $42K MSRP stock. But if you add the ST Performance Brake Package $2695, you are forced to get the 401A Package that adds another $5585 and gets the MSRP over $50K. Maybe they are discounting over $10K, I didn't know that. $40K would seem fair if you get all that included.
No way...The current CX-5 GTR And Sig will hang right with a 15-17 Focus ST that he traded in. Sure, it may not hang as well at the track or twisties, or if you add some mod goodies, but other than that, nah, and I*d rather have the CX-5...
And you would think a car company like Mazda would know this...Zoom Zoom, not...
