Fvck the ford v6. I'd be happy with the fuel efficiency of the 4cyl. 2.3 mzr engine.
Give the 2.3L a load to pull (I once brought a chest-of-drawers about 700 miles with 2 people in the in the Mazda3) and it starts to guzzle the fuel down; getting worse than my 6s does with a comparable load. Perhaps with a cam swap geared towards more torque, the MZR would do alright in a SUV-type application. But as it is, it's not good for it.

I do hope it offers the best fuel economy possible, something Mazda is just OK with in my opinion, but it needs to still have power or else it would not be worth it.
The current 3L V6 would be nice...

I really like it. I've seen plenty of pics of the concept (including the one posted), and have actually been hoping they'd produce it. I've never cared for trucks and SUV's until recently as vehicles like the FX45 and Murano have come to market. They look more athletic (not to mention stable...) than the average truck-based SUV. The interior on the Crossport is amazing as well. Way to go Mazda. I'm sure this vehicle will be a huge success.

If this news is true, goodness gracious, Mazda may have the ultimate winner on their hands. Where on earth are they going to be built? I hope they don't under-estimate the potential need as seems to be the situation with the 3.

This spec has been confirmed for the US market, the hp figures are lifted from the MPS6 and may vary prior to the CX-7 release. Hopefully these numbers will increase....

Mazda has stated numerous times that it's based off a modified Mazda6 chassis.
The Navigator is based off a modified F-150 Chassis. The same used for the Expedition with minor changes. It's nowhere close to the size of the CX-7. The Navigator is a full 20 inches longer than the CX-7. Not to mention 5 inches wider, 13 inches taller, and 8 inches longer in the wheelbase. Not even close. You don't power anything that size with anything short of a 5.0L V8, let alone a turbo'd 2.3L 4-Cylinder.

I cannot wait!!! I hope it's the same size as the Murano, that was my last vehicle and it was perfect all around...except for the fact thatit wasn't the 8. The force is strong with this one.
