I know. That is the allure of the diesel. I would love that car.

I will admit that 331# torque in a 3500# vehicle at low rpm would be seat of the pants fun.i hope they add locking awd like Toyota.
Ugg unob..where exactly are seeing Toyota pulling 600+ miles per tank on RAV4?
SA-X **may** **eventually** invalidate diesels but talk about waiting on miracles wtf dude?..that's minimum 5 years post arrival to have enough data to even think about saying words like invalidate..so bro, please
10-20c diff right now 87/diesel around me..and btw in Fayetteville AR (guessing I'm pretty close) at your local "kum & go" (can't make this s*** up) 2.61//2.91..Shell 2.59//2.91 looks closer to 30c (and narrowing) to me but whatever homey good luck w/your SA-X- maybe you should start a thread!
They have clearance but still haven't brought it to the US. I wonder why.
From Greencarreports.com
While the EPA booklet lists two Mazda diesel models as certified—the Mazda 6 sedan and CX-5 compact crossover—those have yet to reach the market.
"We can’t comment on specific timing quite yet," Mazda's Jacob Brown told us, "but we continue to work with the EPA and California, and will make an announcement as soon as possible."

At the time of this articles publishing, it wasn’t Carb Certified. Fwiw.
Here’s the paperwork that became publicly available shortly after carb certification

Blame you country's regulations. Rest of the world, pretty much no issues with diesel
The EU isn’t exactly warm and cozy with diesels at the moment... However, you’re correct in that the US regulations have something to do with it. The Obama administration mandated that diesels sold in the US comply with the same parameters as a gasoline engine of the same size w regards to emissions.
No Europe isn't but blame VW for that
Yeah, them Daimler and Bmw to a slightly lesser extent as well. Thanks, guys.

Dude. I'm 32. I'll die of old age before mazda gets sa-x out, rofl! They cant even get diesel. In 2018.
It depends on the gas station. Around Fayetteville yeah. Around San Antonio, it's more 50 cent diff.
The rav4 mileage as I stated (600 per tank) applies to the hybrid, which is their sportiest model ironically, per Toyota press release.

But according to many here, there is totally a conspiracy to allow GM and Fiat to sell diesels here that mazda cant cash in on.
I think there's likely some home team and/or deep pocket favoritism but who knows it is what it is. Like you I'm seeing Rav as an unlikely front runner (I didn't see 600/tank that's pretty sexy) esp if diesel pulls another no show or is priced egregiously high.
My son is 40 years old, I'm old enough to be your dad, now that's a frightening thought. (boom01)

Well, the RAV is pushing more power than any other cuv in its class, has an 8 speed, has actual torque vectoring and lockable awd, or CVT and sport tuned suspension etc. And is riding on the Toyota name for reliability. The more rugged styling is going to be a hit among many as well.
Having more gears is not necessarily a good thing if the box and control units don't know what the correct gear it should be in.
Mazda's 6 speed automatic is fine for both petrol and diesel as it knows what gear to be in pretty much most of the time. They have sorted it out well IMHO.
