Will CX-5 Have AWD?

[FiveG]

Does anyone know whether the CX-5 is going to have AWD available? I'm presently driving a CX-9, but figuring that by the time the CX-5 comes out, my need for a large SUV will be over (with both kids now out of the house). Hence, downsizing. Looking at options, and while I really like Mazda, AWD is a must for winter in northeast and for dirt road driving.

Anyone have any reports on this?

my guess is that the CX-5 will replace the tribute. and, since the tribute came in FWD and AWD flavours, so will the CX-5. however, untill the official announcement is made, its all speculation.

Confirmed, many of us own one now.
