Interesting, makes sense, MATR6. Btw, the picture is amazing and I must agree that there is a lot of features for a car in this price range.

I cannot tell because I have not seen it IRL yet but your logo looks like one piece of plastic with the emblem encapsulated inside. On the other hand, the logo on the video has snow inside so it cannot be filled with plastic. Anyway, it is just a logo. You have got a great car and I cannot wait...

First, congrats and thank you for all the info and photos, joepro! I noticed the mentioned new front grille logo on pics and videos earlier. Maybe aftermarket replacements will show up later. EDIT: I am not sure ... are there two different logo versions...

IDK what you will get in the US but there are two memory buttons on some photos.

AFAIK no AWD lock button and the engines will remain the same. According to Mazda's main website - article on improved AWD in 2016, their electronic locking is that fast that a lock button is not needed. :) I would prefer to have the button, too. Just for the sake of it.

Yeah, I have seen the rear SCBS mentioned somewhere. I forgot to thank you for the link. I believe you will enjoy your car and I wish you short waiting. :) EDIT: I have also noticed they call it 2015 model. There was a debate in Jan or Feb if the just release 2015 is the real 2015 or rather...

Interesting. Looks like there also is I-ELOOP for SKYACTIV-G? The depicted car has no door-lock buttons. I hope they will add them.

I believe that SayNoToPistons is right. All my info and Mazda's practices points to 1st quarter.

Thank you very much, ALafya. You really made my day! I have never had a car I could ssh to. :)

I hate it. This is simply over engineered security feature. Someone should hack the touch screen. :) We also prefer manual locking but not every CX-5 has a pair of locking buttons. It can be seen even on the 2016 model photos. I hope we get locking buttons in Europe. I had been hoping that an...

Besides all the great news, I hate that so called "feature" switching off the touch screen. I understands the risks of excessive typing (and I act accordingly) but I can also imagine situations when a single screen touch would be safer than, probably longer, operating the knob while staring at...

The same for me. The materials will be configurable to some extent. They said noise reduced by 10%.

I would bet on mp3 files.

Of course, I didn't mean anything else. I am not going to watch movies on a 7" screen. The question is if the other unit also has a DVD or just CD drive. Also, the unit on Japanese photos (DVD stamped) looks pretty misfitted. Like the bottom of the screen is submerged into the compartment. The...

Wow, the Japanese version has a light and a camera in the mirror. Like the new CX-3, there is also an extra button and "DVD" logo on the player.
