No.. the addons are below the applicable trim..

I will post the spec sheet soon

[Sebi]

Thanks Jeff!

So there will be only 1 engine option for now, the 2.0 SkyActiv with 155 hp?

Yup..... sadly...

[RedRaptor]

I heard the SkyActiv-D is coming in 2013.

2.2L Twin Turbo Diesel with 300lb/ft of torque.

[Aitch]

I'm interested to see what is in the Tech package, along with the other trim lines..... but it continues the tradition of only being able to get all the toys on the fully loaded model (including AWD). I know some of it is business, some is grouping together things people are likely to order together (i.e. many buyers of all electronic doodads would be likely to get highest-spec model anyway) but I think its annoying not to be able to get those types of packages on at least the mid-range models (esp if you don't want AWD).

I heard some of that too... I even completed the training on it..

But who knows..

I'd be interested in a diesel

I'd be interested in a diesel

"Now serving number 49... number 49..... anyone.... 50? 50?"

Everybody was hoping for the diesel, including every dealer...

*le sigh, we get 'hosed', more so with the gt:

That $20,695 price point refers, of course, to the CX-5 Sport with the (remarkably good) six-speed manual transmission. Opting for the six-speed automatic will set you back an additional $1,400, and if you want to add all-wheel drive, be prepared to dish out another $1,250. Moving up, Touring models with either front- or all-wheel drive start at $23,895 and $25,145, respectively, and are only available with the six-speed automatic gearbox. Lastly, the range-topping Grand Touring comes in at $27,045 (FWD) and $28,295 (AWD), and with the $1,325 technology package added to the GT trim, you'll be looking at $29,620 for a fully loaded CX-5.

For around town, you won't need AWD.

[htc***]

For around town, you won't need AWD.

+1 unless you live in the country and have a lot of snows. Can we book a test drive it when it's available?

[RedRaptor]

For around town, you won't need AWD.

+1. Lol.

[sicsol]

Jeff - Would you happen to know if there is a back up camera on the CX5.. I'm in the market to purchase a new car in the next 2-3 weeks.

Nope.. but one can be installed for cheap I am sure.

[Booter22]

[zmz3]

and the cx5 arrived today sure is nice!

[Booter22]

The rear and front look extremely sexy... not sure about interior...

have you driven it yet?

[zmz3]

We do make few country-side trips a month so it would be nice to have... plus, that wasn't my question...

I am curious who makes the AWD for Mazda... perhaps Ford?

.. maybe mazda? lol lets just say from back to front, inside and out the CX5 GT with AWD is amazing, even under the vehicle impressed me. that being said it does have a nice touch display inside which allows you to change preferences.

i think the CX5 will do very well. even better then the CX7. but we will see

[sicsol]

Any test drives available. I'm in the market for a new vehicle.

We got the last one last night..

The interior is really nice.. Soft touch dash, door panels are padded nicely, and USB!
The only downside is the location of the start button.. its directly behind the wiper stalk, which is a really odd location. Its not easy to see/access.
Other than that, I like that it finally has the 3-click signal and all menu features for lights, lock options etc. right through the radio.
It would have been nice for them to keep the I-drive style controller.

Other than that, the interior screams BMW/Audi. I felt like I was in my sister's 2011 X3 for a while.

That poor, poor CX-7.. It will be missed.

[5_Alive]

Nope.. but one can be installed for cheap I am sure.

The GT we just got has a backup camera.. If you opt for either the GS or GT, rear camera is standard with the built-in parking guide.
At least that's what the Guide says according to Mazda.
