You can find those numbers on Autotrader, they have lots of listings for new cars. I got my 09 Touring leftover in Feb 10 for 18,200 plus taxes etc.... It had more than a few options included too. Similar savings or better can apply to 10's since there is a new model on the horizon and I negotiated with ZERO haggling
Mileage is a bit better with the reflash and I did not have to pay $, they are aware of the TSB and did the reflash under my warranty. But I tell you there is more oomph on the 07 before the reflash. I'm just worried about the hesitation thing.

"Mazda announced today that it will show off a significantly refreshed 2012 Mazda5 at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 17."

Mazda says 157 hp so that's what we're going with. It is NOT a typo."
Anyone here going to the LA Auto show??

I spoke with Mazda USA by phone last week. They said a couple things that aren't here: 6 speed manual and automatic; 16 inch wheels on the sport; 17 on touring and grand touring. 6 seats only (not the seven [with mini-flip-out] I was hoping for). No idle-stop. I'm interested in learn more details on the interior re-design."
If everyting is true, this model will be a big sales flop. The 2012 model is dead before it even arrives.

I looked around a bit for the new C-max but obviously not much is officially public. BUT, Ford has specs for the new Focus, which underpins the C-Max so you get a very good idea of what to expect (price, specs, etc.). WOW, this thing looks quite impressive in specs and pricing. Mazda is going to have a hard time in 2011-2012 or until they rollout their Sky* concepts.
Ford's new 2.0L I4 puts Mazda'2 2.5L I4 to shame, granted this is Ford's new engine vs Mazda's old block. Given their close past relationship and from what I've read on the Sky concept, I think Mazda will also be going the 2.0L I4 route but with even higher compression (14:1). This along with more focus on weight reduction should give Mazda an edge in performance and MPG, but we'll see. I think this would be the standard on 2013+ Mazda 5; I highly doubt the 2012 will have apply the Sky concept. I just hope Mazda don’t end up a dollar short and a day late.

You're right 12 to 1 compression, direct injection & regular gasoline! Interested to see the mpg figures.

16in wheels for the Sport like the northern neighbors
I hope there is a popular package in the works at least
And no real changes on MPG

LA 2010: 2012 Mazda5 Gets New Look, Larger Engine
After the car first broke cover in Euro-spec form at the Geneva Auto Show, Mazda has finally rolled out the second-generation of its Mazda5 model at the LA Auto Show. The car’s clever packaging has yet to catch on, which is surprising when it delivers as much space as a mid-size crossover and comes with a fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine. Oh, and Mazda has always offered the 5 (based on a version of the Mazda3 platform) with a manual transmission – how very European!
For 2012 the all-new Mazda5 gets a more swoopy design, while the engine grows in size from 2.3-liters to 2.5-liters with a total of 157-hp and 163 ft-lbs of torque. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard on most models, with a 6-speed manual the base transmission on the Sport trim.
Mazda says fuel economy is unchanged, despite the displacement increase.
In terms of safety, the 5 comes with stability control as well as a new Brake Override Feature.
For 2012 the Mazda5 will be offered in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. Standard features on the Sport model include 16-inch alloy wheels, power windows and door locks, power mirrors, A/C, a 6-speaker audio system, tilt and telescopic steering, remote keyless entry, a driver’s one-touch up/down window, a 50/50 split 3rd row seat and steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls. Touring models get the 5-speed automatic, 17-inch wheels, an aero kit with rear spoiler, fog lights, Bluetooth and a leather wrapped steering wheel. The top-level Grand Touring trim then gets a power moonroof, HID automatic on/off headlights, heated mirrors, rain sensing wiper, driver’s seat lumbar, heated front seats and leather throughout.

I heard from someone who works at a Mazda dealership about the Canadian spec that the GT will lose the power assist sliding doors and the moonroof, although moonroof will be available as part of the luxury package. Manual transmission will still be available with every trim level and package.
Looking at the US spec, how does the 21/28MPG compare to the current model?

Moonroof is only available with the GT trim for 2012 it looks.
Best Part of the GT is those power assist doors. Awesome if you have kids.

you lucky canadians and your options.
anyways... i did see a 6 speed manual at least. i am still kinda dissapointed in the horsepower rating. maybe they wanted more useable torque for the larger vehicle.
i hope for a popular package too.

If they keep similar gear/rpm ratio in the 6MT (and now mated with the 163ft/lbs torque) it cannot really a wow, yet a decent improvement. I guess not much cash for Mazda5 R&D for this market. It is like: we Mazda HQ have the JDM, Asian and European markets figured out, and you have a 2.5L engine from the Mazda3/Mazda6, now do some magic
