Replying to: iminwoostah (Jun 01, 2005 8:48 am) From the sound of things it'll be a unibody, which means AWD rather than 4WD. AWD would be more performance-oriented anyway, which is Mazda's whole deal. You can tell by the looks that it's NOT meant to be an off-roader.   If it's AWD though, I'm hoping for a rear-bias.
#12 of 1258 Seating???? by tytnsfan1 Jun 16, 2005 (5:46 am)
Do you think they'll keep the four bucket seats? I hope it doesn't because that would take it off my list for sure and probably a lot of people that want a vehicle like this. In size what do you think this will compare to? Murano? Will it have decent cargo space? How soon will we know if they want this out in 2006? I would think pretty soon unless they are coming out in the middle or end of 2006? I had read spring I thought though.

#13 of 1258 cx-7 looks better than any suv or wagon by frankydiggy Jul 02, 2005 (7:58 pm)
In my opinion, this car looks badazz. I can see where some are comparing it to the murano, however I think it holds much better promise for several reasons:   1. looks smaller in height. it will probably be slightly smaller all around and lighter than the murano and therefore get better gas mileage. as each week passes, mpg becomes a bigger concern for more and more people. i think $3/gallon is just around the corner. within 2 yrs.   2. looks much better than the murano. the cx-7 has a more square-off look. looks sportier. will probably appeal to more than just the soccer mom crowd. i'm a 26 yr old male, and i'd love to have this badboy parked in front of my house.   3. it should cost in the low 20s, as it is a mazda. they don't have enough market share or recognition among the average american to demand high prices. plus, the smaller stature than the tribute or murano naturally says the price will be still reasonable.   my most likely purchase in the near future is a mazda3 hatchback, however the cx-7 is a definite consideration in the next few years. this almost makes me want to put off the m3. and i've always been more of a toyota fan. go figure.

I love the styling of this car, especially the specs. Oh-so sweet!

#16 of 1258 It'll probably have by jchan2 Jul 05, 2005 (2:48 am)
5 seats, or a 2+2+2 configuration, ala Pacifica.

Replying to: ghostbuster23 (Jul 04, 2005 5:46 pm) I didn't think so either. Probably just for the shows! Not too practical for real life. I had an MX6 before and it was a nice car except for the fact I had to replace the tires constantly. I think it had damage done to it before I bought it although it was supposed to be new but had 103 miles or something. I love the color they used on the CX-7; it's real close to what I had on the MX6. I'm not sure I'll be able to wait on this one to become production before buying a new vehicle though.
#18 of 1258 CX confusion by unixxus Jul 09, 2005 (11:53 am)
Mazda announced in May that it will name their upcoming 2007 crossover vehicle CX-7, Nissan stated a few weeks later that its 2008 Infiniti entry level crossover vehicles will be called CX25 and CX35. I think this will cause some confusion in the general public. http://www.mazda.com/publicity/release/200505/0526e.html   Automotive News / July 04, 2005 LOS ANGELES -- Infiniti dealers will get a new entry-level sport wagon.   Sources inside and outside the company say the vehicle will arrive in 2007 as a 2008 model. It will come in two versions, the CX25 and CX35.   Guido Vildozo, market analyst for Global Insight in Lexington, Mass., says the five-seat vehicle will be smaller than the Infiniti FX35 and FX45. It will come with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter V-6 and be built on Nissan's FM platform.   He says the four-cylinder engine may get a supercharged performance version similar to the supercharged engine on the Nissan Sentra SE-R.   "It's an X3-type vehicle," he says, referring to BMW. "The FX may eventually grow in size."   The 2005 FX35 starts at $35,710 including shipping.   Another source says the company is considering a hybrid version of the new vehicle. Hybrids use gasoline engines and one or more electric motors to power the wheels.   Nissan North America Inc. will introduce its first hybrid, an Altima, next year as a 2007 model. Infiniti spokesman Bill Garlin would only say that the company is "always looking at new stuff and new possibilities."
#19 of 1258 Re: Let's call it the CX-7. [brutus22] by twain Jul 09, 2005 (12:16 pm)
Replying to: brutus22 (May 27, 2005 7:04 am) brutus22: Price... I would imagine right around the Tribute pricing.   For what it's worth, my guess is above the Tribute. Starting in the mid to high 20s. Unless Mazda drops the Tribute there's no reason to have a direct competitor. I suspect it will compete with the Murano.
#20 of 1258 While, I'm already disappointed... by suvsbob Jul 09, 2005 (6:36 pm)
While, if the message posted along with these two spy photos is true, I'll be really disappointed. http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/spy-photos/spy-photos-2007-mazda-cx7-111301.php http://www.thecarconnection.com/Enthusiasts/Spy_Shots/Spy_Shots_07_Mazda_CX-7.S178.A8856.h- tml   I just found out the cx 7 last week. Really like its exterior and size. Nice, clean, sporty, very very attractive. So I started doing more research.   The message posted in the spy photo web saying Mazda is testing the car with Highlander, BMW X5, etc. That's totally not what I want. I want a nice compact suv with decent fuel mileage. I want the car stand out in the traffic, not blend in with another 1000 suvs on the road. I don't care if it can haul 7 passenger. I don't intend to use it like that. I want it to be aroudn $25K. Madza is testing the car with full-size suv. Plain, dumb wrong.   Beside, the car looks boxy now, just another minivan(Cross-uv?, can't find it). Where's my cute curvy lines alone the side?   Mazda, listen to me. Wake up. People looking cx 7 are not looking for another suv. They're looking for a cross-uv, just like the car you've shown in detroit. I love it , many people love it. Don't change the recipe for the production. Replies to this message: ghostbuster23 (Jul 10, 2005 10:34 am) tytnsfan1 (Jul 13, 2005 11:03 am) perfectofc (Jul 16, 2005 6:03 pm)
