The new diesel CX-5 is being released later this year-maybe. I like the idea of a diesel, but basing it just on fuel $ savings does not seem to be enough.
I ran the numbers--at todays prices in my area (2.05 gas 2.27 diesel), running the diesel (probable 35 mpg average) vs a gas version (26 mpg average)
over 20,000 miles only saves you about $280.
I would assume the diesel option will raise the price of the CX-5 by $1,500?
lots of speculation on my part, but I wanted to see some numbers
