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.

 

no - one exhaust tip instead of 2 and the whole lower valance adn lights are different





oh and can i just say - damn you guys and your earlier time zone scoops!!

Looks pretty nice..way better than the mazda3

 

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.

 

my current understanding is that In the US the turbo disi will still be available as well as the 2.5

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...

 

i think it looks really good actually. i'd hit it.

speaking of those wheels, anyone know the specs on any of the cx-7 or cx-9 wheels?

 

Like the colour Charlie...

Looks new, any word on it's name?

Hurricane Blue?

or

Magic Purple?..

or

Midnight Purple...

 

+1 for the new color.

with diesel could be a hit here in EU

 

current looks better...

 

looks pretty good. Probably my favorite SUV in that price / class

 

well i asked and they are saying its stormy blue like this 8 and cx-9




lighting makes a bit of difference with this color


maybe its just the lighting in the hall

 

Storm Blue did cross my mind, I thought Mazda had stopped using it, its a great color changes in different light...as we know...could be Charlie..

 

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.

 

Sorry, this deserves two posts.

DAMN NICE WORK MAZDA!!!!!! That is a good looking SUV. Wow. Stunning. I really like it.

Think I like it? Yes, I like it.

 

AFAIK Australia will still get the 2.3 turbo and the new 2.5 4 pot Also

 

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 test drove the current model cx7 a few weeks ago and I was really amazed by how well that car drove. It felt faster then my 8 haha

 

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