Can you provide the price before TTL, instead of the OTD price?

Ah, I should clarify that I did try tilting the seats. And while it helped a little, as the seat goes higher it tilts more forward. Seems to be the case with a lot of cars... dunno why that is.

Dumb question, but what's the point in changing suspension on an SUV? To lift it?

So I was able to test drive new 17 and 16.5 CX-5 GT's today, and wanted to share my thoughts. Coming from someone with a 09 Mazda 3 GT. Pros for 2017: Quieter--very noticeably quieter. I really wasn't expecting much here before I test drove them, but wow. The 16.5 sounded like my 09 Mazda 3...

More pics!

I used to feel the same way, but the 2017 has grown on me completely. Now the 1st gen look too busy and cheap with too many folds and lines everywhere, like a Kia, Suzuki, or Mitsubishi. Whereas now in my mind the 17 looks classy and elegant like a BMW. Maybe I've just been looking at the new...

Regarding the blindspots, can you share more on that? I thought the car was the same as far as size of windows and everything.

My neck hurts just looking at that headrest. No way to bend it backwards either! Which is probably the reason for the design.... I'm sure insurance companies love it though.

Wow, first time seeing that color... very nice. Thanks for sharing. Any more pics, please post them!

New videos showing some colors we haven't seen yet: black and white.

You guys are like children, arguing over some trivial opinion and can't just let it go. Can we bring this thread back to discussing the 2017 CX-5 and not about the pros and cons of a powered liftgate? Anyway, is there any info on when dealers may be getting the new '17? I think I remember...

Nice looking car! What other models did you look at, and what'd you think of them?

Here's some Photoshopping I did to put the current GT wheels on the upcoming 2017 to see if it makes it look better. Which it does, but it still overall looks like an old Ford Edge to me.

Anyone else feel like the new one has more wheel gap than the previous gen?

Video from Japan showing a model in Machine Grey Premium Metallic. Damn those wheels look tiny!
