I'm seriously considering replacing my 8 with the CX-5, while trying to be patient for a new rotary car. I may test drive one this weekend...and let's face it...how many times will you be able to say I'm buying an SUV for the improved gas mileage?

I know there is a thread somewhere, but when/are we getting the diesel in the US?

I think I remember the diesel is supposed to come for 2014???
