Essentially everything

Exactly. Mine is a 2015, and I have 90K miles on it already. I would be covered for another year and a half, or about 120-130K miles total, if we had a comparable warranty. You bet your ass I'd buy another CX5, no-matter how baller the RAV4 re-vamp is, if the warranty was = to AUS, and Toyota's stayed "as is" for the States.

This just sounds wrong on so many levels. (rofl)

I mean in comparison to the CX5, with its dismal 29% thermal efficiency and <400mi highway range.
So the RAV4 Hybrid is a CVT?

Eh, you of all people should be the last one excited about a RAV4.
Say what you want of CUVs as a "chick car", the RAV4 is the poster child of "chick cars" when it comes to CUVs, where 90%+ of the drivers you see driving them are soccer moms LOL.

So it's a Subaru now?
Looks very busy.
Whatever you say.
No arguments from me on Gen 2 CX-5's, that is one ugly mug in my opinion with my least favorite Mazda color. I guess I am always comparing these to mine (Gen 1).

Lol. Majority of people I see driving the CX-5 here are chicks,and Idk if you could call most of them soccer moms either considering they all look in their late 50s and over by far usually...

Fair enough, but around here RAV4's are openly known as chick cars. If you really want to get way more ridiculed by your buddies, buy a RAV4.
CX-5's have a very large range of people driving them and a pretty equal male/female ratio, from my observations. I've had both male and female friends/coworkers/etc. all like my car
Sample size of 1 person's commute to and from work in Denver and I see lot's of CX-5's every day now.

Around here,it*s the 4Runner that*s the chick car,not the RAV4,and you better be pretty attractive to drive one it seems.
I*ve honestly only seen one guy driving a CX-5 in my entirety. Only ones I know of are right here on this site.
One and done here,the new ones just aren*t attractive,2.5T coming or not...

Sadly I'm right there with you most likely. Gen 2's just don't do it for me.
That said since I am holding on to mine forever, we'll see what the Gen 3's and Gen 4's look like. Not holding my breath though.
Motoring site reviewing the Mazda6 GT mentioned:
* Subsequent to this test of the Mazda6 GT, Mazda announced its entire range will be covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty. The new warranty does not apply retrospectively. Hundreds of buyers are believed to have purchased the updated Mazda6 with three-year warranty applicable.
The statement confuses me. I'm not sure.

Yeah, but the Monte Carlo is a muscle car...wait...that was the older one. The one from 2002? ROFL! Well, we now have the Impala, and...wait...
Things change with time. The RAV4 just got an awesome AWD system, they styled it after the 4Runner and TACO, and the hybrid has a sport tuned suspension and is the fastest model in the line-up yet goes over 600mi per tank. Even if you want to call it a "chic car", that's like calling the new Ecoboost 4 cylinder mustang a chic car. Okay, fair enough. It's still faster than the 2010 V8 GT model, and handles WAY better...
Old RAV4 (chic car):
Current 4Runner (not what I know anyone to call a "Chic car"):
NEW Rav4:
So yeah, I kindof view it as a mini-4Runner, and not a pumped up Mazda 3 (Corolla equiv) like the CX5 is.
