Rest is great... overall exterior now does look a bit more standard though.

I know the screen doesn't look all that integrated but it is in a great viewing position. Nice and high. I think this looks tremendous overall.

That's kind of a weird place for the Start button.

Tossing a large cloth across the dash when parked in the sun (and leaving a couple of windows not completely shut if it is not going to rain) might help some.

overall it is great... but too bad they did not integrate it better like in CX-3 for instance.

In some pics it really looks like plastic has been cut simply to make space for screen.

+1. Like you've said many times, the consumer will buy simply based on the badge!

There is more to luxury than leather seats and pretty face.

The 6 is a very nice, I think we can all agree. However this is far from a luxury car...

Your wrong again on the consumer buying habits based on badge, companies are adding these features and outfitting these "regular" cars with nice features because people are buying them not in hopes that people will buy them.

Look at how many 50K+ jeeps there are driving around, its far from a luxury bland. Look at all the 75k chevy suburbans, peoples habits are changing.

Look at the interior the next gen fusion is getting, do you think this all buy chance?

maybe they will uprate the materials in CX-5 facelift? We already have CX-5 pictures somewhere, I think full press quality too.

When I sat in both of them, 6 had substantially better materials than CX-5... it looked kind of similar but when you really sat in it, 6 was really a lot nicer...CX-5 felt like cheapened out for US market.
