737Capt said:That's interesting, because I just put in an order for a GT with the Grand Touring Assistance Package. The dealer told me that the power liftgate will not be available until August at the earliest. Trying to figure out what the real story is.
It is at extra cost. The Grand Touring Assitance Package is an extra $2500 retail.Whitesnake said:Is that an extra cost?.. will it be standard on a GT then what it is now?

Whitesnake said:So you can't get the "Assistance package" now or it will not come with the power lift gate now?
Did they give you any information when you placed your order? Something that proves they placed the order for you?auto_tracker said:I just placed an order for one, I'm on the waiting list though.

Dalton said:Whats your opinion, why the cover is not compatible with PLG?
Can the cover be fitted afterwards?
That was actually exactly my thinking as well. I specifically didn't want the PLG and in Canada, once available, PLG is not an optional accessory any longer, but rather standard equipment. Hence the 2007 model purchase.OMF said:I have settled for a non-power lift gate model, convincing myself with the following: I have approx. 15 cm (!!!) left between the bumper and my garage door, which rendered the thing a.) relatively useless, b.) dangerous, if I incidentally pushed the PLG button on the remote with the garage door closed.
OMF said:The cargo cover doesn't touch the lift gate (including the sensor area) when closed. There is about 1/2" gap between them. Also, I believe there is enough room for the drive, too. After reading the manual (for Canadians it's on page 3-33), the only interference I can imagine is with the sensors. If this is the case (I hate to say (sssh) because I zoom -zoom) this is a plain design flaw and Mazda engineers will fix it.
Doesn't bother me anymore - I am happy with the cargo cover.
