2024 Mazda CX-90
what mazda will likely stand out is in their driving dynamics over their competitors - sadly most people don't care about this and only care about the badge. i'm curious to see if my assessment will be true when everyone gets behind the wheel!

Great that it has a proper RWD architecture with double wishbone and some aluminum suspension parts. These are what the RX/TX should have under their skins.
But the overall design of the CX-90 is very generic with boring details. The old CX-9 somehow managed to look better with its FWD proportion.

We shall see how it drives soon! The thing with Mazda is that most say they drive great for the price. Now that the price will be the same as the others, will the narrative change or will it stay the same?

It's decent, over hyped as I said pages ago. I like that it's RWD and inline-6 with the matching RWD proportions, but the design is boring, awkward, and dated. I find the CX-50 design to be way more interesting to look at.
Interior to me is in line with what you get in a top spec Telluride or Palisade, but seems like many are expecting it to be in the 60-70k range. If it's anywhere near there, this will be a hard pass for so many.

Japanese market CX-60 also has this interior to offer

Those aren't modest at all for Mazda considering the CX-90 is meant to be North American focused, and the CX-9 sold 35K units here last year. Unless they price this the same as the CX-9, I don't see this doing the same numbers.

Not vs BMW/Audi/Mercedes they won't, even the Jeep Grand Cherokee will be difficult for it to beat

I think it looks GREAT, size inside and lack of lane centering makes it DOA for me. Styling though IMO is gorgeous, love the color. Would I pay $70,000 for this? Yes. I would much rather have this than a RX or MDX, other vehicles with small third rows.

Would have been extra special if they offer a two row version that seats 5. There is a 6,7, and 8 seat option.
