2019 Camaro SS commits Hara Kiri...

Yup. Everyone on the Mazda forum is making fun of me for paying $2400 for it, though. Kinda irritating, but also reassuring regarding how reliable these things are. The CX9 has had this transmission and engine since 2015 as a 2016YM, and I've yet to find a horror story or even one with a blown turbo via Google. Very reassuring. The tech in this thing is super impressive. Heated and cooled seats, HUD, oscillating headlights (LED), on and on and on. Suspension is amazing, too. Reminds me of my 370Z, but much better control in the corners, over irregular pavement, etc. If you're in the market for a CUV, this is the one to look at, IMO. I'm averaging 25-27mpg on my daily drive, even though it's rated 22/27. It feels like my LT1 Trans Am from the 90's. NO turbo lag. Loads of torque everywhere. Doesn't even shift out of OD unless I'm going up a crazy steep hill/mountain.[/QUOTE]



I love the new look of the CX5 & CX9... some of the best out there hands down. I'd totally look into it for my next SUV if it weren't for having to pull trailers (21' boat & motorcycle) once in a while. Towing capacity of the CX9 is only 3500. I think the boat is close to 5000 lbs.
