mazda planning product onslaught for los angeles auto show

Mazda will debut an all-new crossover, and facelifted versions of two of its most popular models at next month’s Los Angeles Auto Show.

The CX-3 crossover, shown above, will be unveiled, alongside revised versions of the larger CX-5 crossover and the Mazda6 sedan. The CX-3 will be based on the Mazda2’s underpinnings, and compete with the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V and other small crossovers.

The CX-3 is expected to get a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, but will likely only be offered with all-wheel drive. The CX-5 and Mazda6 will get styling updates both inside and out, as well as a new infotainment system currently used on the Mazda3.

2.0L for the CX-3 sounds good, although I'd like to see it as an option on the new Mazda2 as well. If Mazda is serious about pushing the brand upmarket, they're going to have to offer some upmarket powertrains pretty soon. I'm very interested in seeing what they equip the next CX-9 with, because an NA 2.5L obviously won't cut it in that application.

I'm waiting for a Mazdaspeed CX-5, something along the lines of the original CX-5 concept, along with more power...

Only one of three of my comments have been posted! Still problems here?

  Did you use the word "s*de" as in s*deswipe, or s*decar? Another poster noticed that it was a killer word you can't use here anymore. I've used a y instead of i and gotten away with it. Otherwise, proofread and add the asterisk.

  @Lorenzo Must we find some pustule-faced crone to spit in a bowl of blood and stir it with her 6" fingernail to divine this sort of thing? All our crones here are busy with the election.

  @petezeiss Computer code is relatively easy to write but extremely difficult to troubleshoot. Even the biggest companies rely on testers to work out the bugs, and finished code often needs patches for problems that users later "discover". Given the problems here, there's something very obvious in the code that should have been caught. That leads me to believe it's in a patch meant to fix another problem, and those are REALLY hard to find.

  @Lorenzo I think you've done half their work for them by isolating the suspect character combination.

If this is a "product onslaught" I'd hate to see a mild reshuffle.
