#11 of 17 Re: Interior Photos? [frommx5tomz3] by ceric Jun 19, 2009 (1:55 pm)
Replying to: frommx5tomz3 (Jun 18, 2009 11:26 am) > For example, the steering column still shows the ignition "keyslot cover" that is used with the current keycard. Surely the redesigned advanced key fob will do away with that quirky design?!?!   I don't see what is bad about the current design. What would be a good design for you? You still need a alternative way to start the engine in case that the SmartKey fails (such as low battery). In a Prius, you put the SmaryKey into a slot. Is that more intuitive to you?   > Also, the 4.3 inch lcd is nowhere to be found   Maybe the model with NAVI was not ready yet when they showed the photo. Therefore, a non-NAVI version was shown. I am sure eventually there will be a version with NAVI. Whether it will continue to be touch-based remains to be seen. Many NAVI systems are moving toward dial-based so that the screen can be pushed further out under the windshield - easier to design the center stack.

Anyone know when they will be releasing this model? Also, I would like the GT model features but not the wood grain trim. Is that possible? Replies to this message: ceric (Jul 22, 2009 9:43 am) aviboy97 (Aug 26, 2009 6:48 am) ceric (Aug 26, 2009 11:41 pm) and 1 more... nuzy (Jul 28, 2009 12:01 pm)

Replying to: mandymusika (Jul 22, 2009 8:32 am) mandy, Usually at the end of the year (Oct, Nov). No info released AFAIK. As to wood grain trim, in some other country, CX9 has no wood grain trim even for GT. It has piano black (like the one on steering wheel). Maybe you can buy the parts from countries like Australia, and send the parts over. Replacing it should be very easy - simple snap-on.

Replying to: mandymusika (Jul 22, 2009 8:32 am) I sent an email to mazda customer service asking when they would come out and I was told September at earliest, but October more is likely.

The GT models have the wood grain look trim on the doors and center console. It is not real wood. Infact, most mfgrs dont use real wood.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 26, 2009 6:48 am) I though that everyone knows by now that automakers rarely use real wood anymore. The proper term should have been "wood grain-look trim". Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 27, 2009 8:15 am)

Replying to: ceric (Aug 26, 2009 11:41 pm) wood grain-look trim   Also known as "plood" - plastic wood. I've heard that the better stuff is real wood that's been impregnated with plastic.   Real wood would dry out, crack and not hold up well in a car interior. And it would splinter and be nasty in a car wreck.
