I’m hoping for:
- a design as sharp looking as the CX-90,
- a width between the CX-60 & -90, and
- a foot or so longer than the -60.
- PHEV pricing $5k less than the -90,
- with a few more miles of all-electric range
- and light interior color choices like parchment or that nice brown on the CX-50.

I would agree with this. I would like something that was slightly shorter than a CX-9 but longer than a CX60 - maybe something that is 190-192 inches long. The width should be similar to the CX-50, with the aggressive styling but upscale look and feel of the CX-60.
I want the same engine choices as well.

I am guessing pretty much a CX-60 but using anything/everything from the CX90. Same engine choices. I am in agreement with @PaulZooms with about a $5K difference trim to trim comparison.
I am expecting the interior to be the same as well as the front clip. Also, thinking same for the rear styling.
Things I am hoping for:
1) Headlight tech from the CX60 (matrix LED headlights)
2) Real exhaust tips or at least convincing fake ones (I am not sold on the CX60 approach)
3) Any issues/bugs from the CX90 launch to be fixed for the 70
4) Tone down the use of chrome seen on the CX90, or at least a darker chrome effect.
5) Tail lights different than the CX60 (more influence from the CX30 would be nice)

That, finally a vehicle that I want.

- PHEV
- HUD
- Head Room
- Crossover
- Goldilocks size
Worries
- Mazda seats, re CX5
- Lousy safety tech, particularly LKAS. I have a mind numbing commute.
- Can I live with the knob? Mazda just won’t let full touch happen..

Regarding your commute, are you looking for something with lane centering? Because it seems that starting with the CX-90, lane centering will be available.

Correct, but I've seen a couple of reviews of the CX-60 that questioned its quality. We'll have to wait and see. Any ideas on when the CX-90 review embargo is lifted?

I have no idea, I've been wondering about that myself. So far all of the reviews I've seen have been static reviews.

I hated the need to use the command knob at first too but it has now become second nature. However you might be in luck....kindasorta. Our new CX-50 allows the use of the touchscreen when driving BUT only when using ACP/AA. While it doesn't give full functionality, it is better than none for those that wish to use it. I would imagine that this trend will continue on the CX-90 and CX-70.
