From an owner of one of the first CX-7's here in Aus I think it looks awesome. I really like it. Unfortunately I wouldn't buy one. In this day and age, a car like this that gets 15mpg is an attrocity.

Whats happening is that they are dropping the turbo and introducing two engine sizes. One will be under 3 L for the base model and the other over 3L for the other. Face lifts are happening for most Mazda cars. I think the new MX-5 looks stupid. The Mazda 3 is okay but the new Nav system they've put in is so not user friendly. We got all the new styles shown to us at work. We got emails from head office showing us all the changes. Last week we got to go and get shown all the new changes etc, in the new models.

those are nice. that front-on picture looks mean! the huge openings up front fit this car better than the 3 i think. seems to be a more pronounced hood too...i like this.

boy they're really getting the most out of those 5-spoke split-tipped wheels aren't they...

Oh DAMN the new CX7 looks good! Man, did they ever use the RX8 R3 styling cues. That's just awesome!!! Will they do this to the CX9? I need 3rd row seats.

Man. I keep looking at those pics. Very nice. DAMN!!!! That's a nice SUV. They've outdone themselves. Bravo, Mazda.

New MX-5

BTW: I happen to like the new MX-5 Very Much, a far better looking car than the Series I NC...

The new Grille on the Roadster (PRHT)...shown on the left with the chrome trim and NO Black Plastic "Mustache" like the Soft Top and 09 RX-8...

I like the refresh. Too bad the turbo is such a mileage pig.
