Diesel is later.  Not 'til Fall from what I see
I wouldn't mind the diesel, but for the amount of driving we do, not worth it.

Already got dibs on a GT.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

Looks great - I agree it's the nicest looking CUV sold.  I hate the styling trend to sloping rear windows - they eat up cargo space.  They look nice though.

Nice looking.  Don't like where it slopes, the black plastic.  Should be body colour paint.

mazda.ca has the CX-5 but the build and price section still does the 2016.5 variant.

This and the prius prime are on my mind right now (not that i will be buying anytime soon)

Noiced a black jaguar F-pace with black alloys while going into walmart (looked v smart) will be interesting to see how the CX-5 compares...
When while coming out i noticed a red CX-9 looks super sexy way better than the highlander pilot or even the Audi Q's and the BMW X's from the outside (my personal opinion)

I think Mazda has done a super awesome job with its exteriors...

lol...that was the first thing i noticed as well...other than that, it looks pretty sharp...there must be a reason for the black plastic.

Of course there isn't.  Same reason I don't like the black plastic around the wheel well.  Looks more off road?  Can't blame just Mazda though.

Not ugly. Not really distinctive. "Meh"

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
