The CX9 SUCKS!
 
I have to go against that. The CX-9 was a great example of breaking the mold. I like that they tried to bring sport CUV to the mainstream- and they were decently succesful (It doesn't look awesome, but they did a decent styling job.

Sorry. My poor attempt at levity I suppose. The CX9 does not suck. It's quite good in fact.

Remember right before the last one, Mazda yanked plans for their upscale division, what was it going to be called, Amati IIRC?
 
That's correct. Remember, Mazda was in rough shape back then. Mazda did actually produce a luxury vehicle under the Amati name, but, since the brand never launched, they named it the Millenia. I still get people to this day looking for the Millenia, or the current Mazda equivalent, and the Mazda6 just dose not quite cut it.
 
I think Mazda needs to perfect their brand quality and image before they can attempt a launch of a luxury line again. I'm actually surprised that Nissan succeeded with Infiniti, considering they were in dire straights when they launched Infiniti.

I had a Millenia S. It was really a seriously under appreciated car. Very nice car to roll up big miles on trips in. Not the best handling car I've ever owned, but that wasn't really it's mission. The controls were very good and it was very reliable. On the down side, it depreciated like crazy I bought it used so I didn't get killed as bad as the first owner) and considering the size of the v-6, the gas mileage was pretty poor.

What you just said it what I hear constantly. People loved it. Mazda never got a chance to refine it, and just kicked it to the curb after 2002. The only other car Mazda was going to place in the Amati name was the Eunos Cosmo, a 300hp rotary luxury vehicle with technology similar to i-drive from BMW, only 10 years earlier. The car was way ahead of its time.
 
Back to crossovers!

Color of My Tribeca by ylz

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but am about to purchase a 2008 Tribeca 5 Pas/Limited. Now I am really torn about getting the black exterior with beige interior or the diamond gray exterior with gray interior. I wanted black on black but obviously that's not possible. The beige interior is much nicer in person and I always wanted a black SUV. But people keep telling me to stay away from black cars cause they're so dam hard to keep clean. Has anyone that had a black car share some insight to this. Now the diamond gray color is also gorgeous on the outside. You guys let me know which one you like better. Thanks.

White is actually harder to keep clean than black is.

White carpet. I'd say black leather is harder to keep clean.

Ford Explorer America by albook

So the Explorer really does move to a unibody platform. In my oppinion, If the production vehhicle looks half as good in comparison to this as the Flex looks in comparison to the Fairlane concept, Ford's got a hit. And it can't be all about looks either. Ford has to include some of the features from the concept, like the turbo 4 and six.

we have a black/black limited FS and I'm not sure I would get black again despite it looking great when clean. It really does not take long for it to look dirty once washed. mine is parked on the street though and if you are garaging yours that might sway me to think about getting it. other than that if it's a day in/day out ride clean is going to be a challenge.
 
in the end though get what you like as you are the one making the payments and looking at it everyday... good luck
