Starting to get really appealing here. Claims it has a Q5 sized interior which is a half size too small for me but it's getting awfully close. Good looking, solid performance, good range, and pricing isn't nuts for a luxury product.

I really like my RDX but the fuel consumption for my short trips is kinda mind boggling (15L/100km) - I really have little to no need for range above 200km for the most part - perhaps once a year I do.

Esp in the US market, Mazda is totally setting itself up for failure by not including the range extender rotary PHEV version right off the bat.

Tesla is way father ahead then other companies With tech and charging stations. The shopping experience is way better than other companies. People higher think of them as a end luxury bran. Who is going to pick a Honda or a Ford over a Tesla? When they make a 30K EV it's going to put a hurt on other car makers. When they have full self driving game over.

^^ that's the thing, the auto pilot is still a big deal for me. I still have deposit down but I haven't picked up a car yet. But Tesla QC is still horrible.
