I like the new jeep, not sure what the model but it looks like a sick cadillac

 

What about waiting for the Kamura?

 

Why don't you just wait for the CX-9? But if you don't want to, do w/e you want, its ur $$. gothemi8, you got a link for the pics?

 

those cx-7's are pretty sweet. I was thinking about trading in the Mazda3 for one......Then I saw it next to a Durango and changed my mind. It is tiny!!LOL I'm leaning towards a LR3 now.

 

Dude, wait for the Mazdaspeed 3 to come out. Its 263 hp turbo, 0-60 in the high 5's , and is $22,000. Plus has all the room of the mazda 3.

 

Have you read the review of it on Sport Compact pro? They Love it!!!
The only problem for me is it is the size of the Mazda3

 

I have read several articles on it, this thing sounds awesome, they say it has better performace than the SRT4 and is surely gonna kill everyone in its price range and class, im just a lil iffy on the looks. It would need a bit of aftermarket body mods but would be so sweet to have those insane numbers in a car only 22k.

 

Sounds good to me. Just make sure you have enough interior space to your liking. The CX-7 can go off-road if it's rated "easy" in the guides. I do suggest you check out the Mazda dealers cuz they're usually not known for good service or knowledge.

 

Porsche Cayenne owners.

 

they say its the car you didn't see coming. i drove by the lot the other day... and they must have stocked up for the winter... noone saw it coming.... HAHA

 

It CAN go off road.. so can most SUV's.. but not off road like you would expect. If you look, it is still built like a car, and I can garauntee it will be in peices in an hour if you truly beat on it off road like you can an older jeep or a 4Runner. Those vehicles are built with full frames, good clearance, and just built tough overall. People who buy most SUVs define off road as a small dirt road or some VERY mild mud.. a little different than what some others define it as

But, he is obviously not looking at it for those reasons, so it is a moot point. For me though.. the FJ Cruiser is still looking very nice :D

 

Hence the "easy" rated comment in my reply. Here's my source for that comment:

TRAITOR!!!

 

I think that all of the loyal Tc owners are going to be laughing themselves to the bank in the faces of all of people who went performance crazy. Think of your overall cost of ownership comparing a vehicle that is pretty loaded at 17k vs. 28k, ect. I test drove the Civic Si and I can say that its a bad ___ car, but I called my insurance guy and he quoted me high and you have to pay for the 91 octane gas which would have been in the ballpark of an extra 100+ per month, not to mention the higher retail.

I also test drove a slightly used WRX, which I think is one of the most amazing cars on the road, but once again you have to fork over a lot more money. Youre looking at over $1500 extra per year aside from the retail.

I think the CX7 is sweet, dont get me wrong, but gas is not getting cheaper (although its dropped some here in Ok), think back 2 years to when it was like 1.65. Think of where its gonna be in 2 years.

If you can afford the extra money, go for it. The Scion lineup is not really a performance car out of the box, even with the SC, its still somewhat of a good looking economy car. But with performance comes a higher price tag. I sold a V-8 trans AM 5 speed to get my Tc and I do miss the performance sometimes, but I dont mind not having to hit the gas station up every other trip.

The choice is yours, but I urge you to think down the road just a little for your own good, because the market changes and what may seem like a good idea today may have you in a bind down the road.

PS. The CX7 is the sharpest SUV on the road right now.

 

It's a Mazda.

Nuff said.

Though I did ponder getting a 3, then came to my senses, and stratched it off the list.

 

Word. If you're going with and SUV, having one that MOVES is nice. But Porsches are too high maintenance. But if you're going to get the Cayenne, gotta go with the Tubro (at least).

 

for half the price of Porsche's abomination, you can get the VW Touareg :D

 

I have been thinking of trading my XB for the CX-7.. It is awesome...I also have an 06 Nissan Murano it kinda reminds me of it.

 

I have something against VWs, however, I do think the R32 is hot--but I still wouldn't by it.

 

oooo burn! nicely done lil lex mazdas are totally uncool! TCs are cooler than the other side of the pillow!
