Replying to: mike_belknap (Aug 19, 2005 10:25 pm) Is anyone else disappointed that the rear doors are normal? One of the reasons I was interested in the CX7 was the suicide doors which make the car really sleek looking. Why do they have to drop this as they already have engineering in place with the RX8. I thought this thing was supposed to be more like a RX8 wagon. I hate that Mazda has dropped one of the features that would make this thing stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Replying to: sleeka (Aug 28, 2005 10:22 am) Ok, now here are some great spy photos courtesy of a spy photographer sent into MPH Magazine of the CX-7, it looks pretty darn close to the concept, and I did not realize how steeply raked the front of the car and windshield is. This car looks to be awesome with a very futuristic look and usability to spare, I just hope the interior is just as sweet. Now if this just comes out more spring 2006 then the reported fall 2006 that would be awesome.   Here is the link to more of the photos: http://www.mphmagazineonline.com/web/spyphotos/009 Also link to rear of car: http://www.mphmagazineonline.com/web/spyphotos/008   I am now officially convinced that manufacturers showing "concepts" are simply showing an extremely close aproximation of the production car.... they already have spent time making it a real car and not a shell when they release it to show the public as a "concept"....unless you are talking abuot some really wild ideas.   B.
#43 of 1258 Seating Configuration by tacoboy Sep 05, 2005 (6:40 am)
So, does anyone know for sure what the seating configuration for this will be? If it is 6 passenger then maybe it will be what the Mazda5 should have been, a sporty people mover WITH DECENT POWER. Replies to this message: tytnsfan1 (Oct 05, 2005 6:28 am) almasy (Oct 19, 2005 12:34 pm)

Mazda told us the CX-7 concept was 90% of the real body design...looks good so far.

Replying to: tacoboy (Sep 05, 2005 6:40 am) I'm really interested in the seat configuration myself plus the amount of cargo space it will have. I am trying to wait as long as possible to get a new vehicle because I'd like to get as much out of my current vehicle as possible. My first choice at this point is the B9 Tribeca because it has every standard safety feature plus very good mileage for an XUV plus pretty roomy. The back end of the CX7 doesn't appear quite as roomy as the Murano or Tribeca to me. What does everyone think? When are we going to get some dimensions on this thing? and gas mileage predictions?

Replying to: tytnsfan1 (Oct 05, 2005 6:28 am) My guess from scaling the picture of the CX-7 from the Mazda web site as to the dimensions of the cargo area, ( assuming 18" wheels) would be 68" lg x 41" wide inside of wheel wells, and 30" high at opening of tailgate. With the 2.3-Liter DISI turbo engine, my guess would be for mileage to be around 19 mpg city and 24 highway.  I agree that it doesn't appear as roomy as the Murano or Tribeca because the roof line tapers down toward the rear liftgate. I like the Tribeca as well and I'm not sure I want to wait another 18 months for the CX-7 to come out. I figure the CX-7 will go for $36k or so; right now you can get a Tribeca loaded for around $35k.
#47 of 1258 CX-7 Update by groovypippin Oct 19, 2005 (2:18 pm)
The CX-7 goes into production in January. That means that dealers will probably see the first units on the ground 4-5 months later. You don't have to wait 18 months for one.   Having just driven the Mazdaspeed 6 today with the 2.3L DSI Turbo, hold on to your frickin' hat! Fast Fast Fast!

Replying to: groovypippin (Oct 19, 2005 2:18 pm) So that means sometime in April or May of '06 the CX-7 will start to appear. I guess I'll have to keep my MPV another winter and have a brake job done and put on a new set of tires to make it through the winter. Oh well...   Glad you liked the new Mazdaspeed 6.... Now if they only use the same steering ratio 16.1:1 (nice turn in) and final drive ratio 3.611 on the CX-7, that would complete the deal for me. Going fast is great, but getting the gearing right will make it a real WINNER!
#49 of 1258 Similar? by richml Oct 27, 2005 (12:15 pm)
Another site has a photo of the 2007 Lincoln Aviator, and an article stating that the Aviator will be mechanically similar to the Mazda CX-7 and Ford Edge. Supposedly some Aviators will have V-6 powertrains.   How similar will they be?
#50 of 1258 According to Inside Line/Edmunds, by callmedrfill Oct 29, 2005 (8:09 am)
Prices will be steep!       Around $30k to start, $35k well-equipped.       Then the upcoming 3-row CX-9 is going for $38k?And it will replace the MPV. How are you gonna replace the MPV with a $38k vehicle?       I must've missed a meeting. When did Mazda become Toyota?       People are not used to throwing $30-5k at Mazdas! They don't make a good minivan or truck. The Tribute ends at $26-7, transaction prices are well below that, so the CX-7 shouldn't start for more than that. It should stay 2-3k below the Murano. Especially with 4 cylinders!. And the CX-9 needs to be under $35k.       You can get an 8-pass Pilot for $30k! Let's calm down on the prices, please.       DrFill Replies to this message: richml (Oct 31, 2005 11:03 am)
