Taped up but you can see some changes to the "oil cooler" openings and the tail lamps

1 exhaust tip points to availability of a non FI version of the DISI i believe. probably the 2.5 from the new Mazda6 and maybe with the new SISS as well.

this is a great looking car as it is. i sure hope they don't go too wild on it

2010 ?

I'm sure it will be ugly like the R3 and the MS3

Mazda, do what ever you want as long as you get rid of that stupid f$%*ing alligator skin "skid mark" down the center of the seats!!!

Most distasteful interior detail I've seen in a Mazda.

I like the CX-7, but why no MT in the US? Think they'll manage to give it a bigger grin than the 3?

Cuz most ppl in the US are too stupid to use a stick. some even never heard of/seen a Manual Transmission car.

Im not kidding.

too bad, most of us here are not one of them :lol:

Manual trans should be mandatory, seriously.

Kinda a funky hood there... wondering what they are doing for that front grill... big ol' flying M???

Yeah, I know. I read a statistic in R&T or maybe Automobile mag a while back. I don't remember the exact figures, but it was something like 80% AT, 20% MT sold in the US. In Europe the figures were exactly flipped. 20% AT, 80% MT. But you know, it really is too hard to talk on your cell phone, drink your latte, and apply makeup while shifting. :lol:

i love the CX7, used to own one and now its in my mom's hands and I love it

I cant wait to see how it looks exactly.

current vs facelift

I want a non turbo version with the 170bhp 2.5L for economy.

ehhh....not to appealing, was never fond of the CX's and plus, it looks the same even with the mask... -.-

Autoblog has the 2010 CX-7 up.

It does have a 2.5 NA engine now. Wonder how that engine will move the SUV........ its only got 161hp/tq

Looks pretty good!

Look's like an R3 that let herself go after getting married and popping out a few kids.

I always did like the CX-7. They need to get more power out the turbo. Maybe 300hp.

Lol. Well, the pre-facelift CX-7 looked like a pre-facelift RX-8 in the same situation... so I guess they are staying consistent

uhhh I like it

looks like it will be nice. but the picture, the front looks like a transformer face lol.

I would rock that CX7, with some good looking 19's though. LOoks sharp! :icon_tup:


Here's the rest of the pics from Autoblog.

the back is exactly the same. I guess thats why its a "face"lift

my father has a 08 cx-7. hmm it looks about the same, interior has changed somewhat ... not all

they called this a facelift ?

hmm. ok ...

the 2.5 NA I dont know ... its probably good enough.

to be honest with you guys, the cx-7, under "regular" driving conditions the turbo is sitting there not doing a thing, cuz it kicks in at around 2900 rpm, so if u drive it normally, it shifts around at 2500 rpm. So ....

but the car weights 4000 something lbs, 2.5 NA ... hmm ... turbo not kicked in is about the same as a NA motor hmm ...
