Hottie Crossover

I'm not usually into crossovers.

I'm not into crossovers either. I hate when you get them naked and find out they where tucking it.



Oh, crossOVERS. I like those.

One reply and 96 views, guess I've started the ultimate Voyeur thread.

They say look at the hands and look for a Adam's apple , but I swear it don't help to know these things.

Is that really a "crossover" Widebody?

I hate being fooled.

Where is the door handle for the rear door?

Must operate off the drivers key fob and or front door access control.

I have to admit, this Mazda CX-7 is even nicer than the Audi A3.

I still like the Alfa Romeo Brera the best. Although it appears so be a smaler 2+2 class than the other two.

whilst the V6 will come with a four-wheel-drive system similar to the Q4 recently introduced to the 156.

Just a little more on the Mazda CX-7:

http://media.ford.com/mazda/article_display.cfm?article_id=20906&CFID=1798438&CFTOKEN=f36ce3351d0bc4a3-379891F1-F209-6BC8-23ABA85582C3C0E4&jsessionid=b4307de4dcdf$E2$3C$A

The production Mazda CX-7 will pick up many of the design cues of the concept vehicle, and will be built solely in Hiroshima, Japan. More information about the vehicle will be available as the year progresses.
Hiroshima?

Is it nuclear powered?

With Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive , a computer-controlled coupling feeds up to 50-percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels for exceptional handling whether the driving conditions are dry and fast or slippery and paced.
All of the AWD cars that are FWD based, feel and act like FWD unless there is wheel slip (Jag X-type excluded from this generalization for many reasons).

So the question I have is the Mazda system really any different than Audi or Subaru?

Have you driven a Mazda with this or read about it?

Subarus with manual tranny have a transfer case that divides torque 50/50 f/r under normal driving condition. Only the automatics behave like fwd when there's no slippage. I'm pretty sure the stick shift audis have something similar.

Thanks, I did not know this before.
