and 50k pricetag? they are trying to go BMW on everyone.

That certainly sounds interesting.

From what I have understood along the way, this would be a separate model and not a replacement for the CX5.

The scuttlebutt says the CX50 will have the 3.0L SkyActiv X inline six engine along with mild hybrid or hybrid options. Also, Lexus is interested in this engine as well.

I wonder if this will be built at MTMUS?

Wow...$50K....vehicles keep getting pricier as middle class Americans keep getting poorer....

Mazda is a niche company not a mainstream player. Affordable and Mazda are not usually in same sentence.

Where does it say $50k?

$50K for a car? I was just at the VW dealer getting a state inspection done on my Golf All Track and wandered through the show room. They had a very nice new Passat sedan sitting in there for $29,000. Jettas are less than that.

This will be a bit bigger.

"50k?" was not me saying it will be 50k Its me asking if it will be 50k.
They are trying to move upscale. The mazda cx-30 breaks 40k now.

If you could get one of these fairly loaded for under 40k.. I think they would sell like hotcakes.

This will be a bit bigger.

The auto industry doesn't want customers to know that larger vehicles actually don't cost much more to manufacture

News to me. My Mazda6 rolled off the lot for less than I could find a Toyota dealer willing to sell a Camry for.

And the quality has been +++++

A Mazda CMW would be pretty sweet. I just hope they dont price it too high. The Tesla Y is rather compelling for the $50k price range. The CMW should be $35-45k to make sense.
