When you're driving and you spot a CX7..

[HeavyH20]

I have to concur with some of the comments in this thread about the perceived price of the vehicle. It seems the other cross over owners are the ones who are most interested or take notice. The CX-7 has a unique look to it, so people are likely curious what it is. I know when I first saw a Saturn Skye, I simply thought, there is no way I just saw the Saturn logo. Once the vehicle gets a little more popluar I think the attention will wane as people get familiar with the lines.

There is another Galaxy Gray CX-7, a Sport version, at the place I work. I have been tempted to park right beside him/her. Other than that one, I have not really seen any others on the road. In fact, the appearance of that one in the parking lot at work is what peaked my attention to the car in the first place.

I really like the Mazda since it is a relative bargain. I looked at getting an FX-35 (not a Lexus, however, no thanks), Murano, and even a CX-9 before I settled in on the CX-7. $26,680 for an AWD Grand Touring with the Bose/Moonroof was such a sweet deal, I had to execute. I am leasing it for 27 months ($194 per month) and will buy it at the end for the 19K residual. So far, I am really enjoying this vehicle!

Ive seen a couple so far, but not to many, but I'm seeing alot of cx-9's, but when I'm at a stop light I see people checking out the car, not as much as my 03 eclipse, but that was because it was pimped out, "tastefully," not over done and tacky. But so far when all my friends see it, the love it, and i still think its one of the best looking cuv's out there by far.

I have seen one in my area. She and I looked at each other's (her was red) and kept moving.

I don't mind telling people the price. Or the fact that we could afford twice as much vehicle but chose not to. I am one of those die-hard mazda fans who never consider much of anything else except what Mazda has to offer. She's much better than my old Tribute. Anything more expensive just has useless-to-me gadgets.

Oh and I did see a CX-9 at the mall and parked next to it so we could have a look. We've already driven one though. The couple that just boght it actually came out an chatted for a while with us. They were sporting a new baby as well.

Still not a lot on the Road

I posted this thread a while back and would have expected there to be a lot more on the road by this time.. however I have had a few very cool exchanges with other CX7's.
Drove down to California and saw a few but they didn't really give me acknowledgement. In Oregon however it has been fun.
Today we were headed south on I5 and a white GT passed by me (only cause I let him) he passed by a gave a big wave to me, very excited young man driving. I returned the wave of course.
My wife said something to the effect of "you CX7 guys!" she doesn't get it, but she also thinks Mazda should somehow take advantage of this shared entusiasm but they probably don't even know.

We then went to a "Wild Oats" store and there was a CX7 parked with a spot right next to it on the left, this was a Silver GT. So I parked next to it, it was very cool but even cooler when we had the same license plate Letters at the end and the 3 numbers to the left of the letters were just 20 numbers apart.

My teenagers stayed in the car and said when the guy came out, he was looking at my Electric Blue, up and down, and very excitedly pointing out the license plates to his wife (whom I am sure was rolling her eyes...)

Kind of a neat day for me!
