Mazda CX-7

Mazda CX-7
At the Detroit show Mazda will showcase the CX-7, a CUV that uses the same platform as the Ford Edge, but with more expressive, less macho styling to befit Mazda's 'Zoom-Zoom' philosophy. Seating five, the CX-7 joins the American market in Spring 2006, and is made distinctive by front wheelarches that creep into the hood (as on the RX-8 ), and the distinctive quarterlight graphic. The DRG puts the headlamps high for a deep front bumper to hold the large pentagonal grille, while the side-glass graphic is emphasised by a chrome key-line. The sporting overtones are substantiated by the 2.3liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 245PS.
Ford Edge
To tap into the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) market , Ford will launch Edge at the NAIAS, a tall five-door whose design has much in common with the Fusion sedan with which it shares its platform. Says Ford PAG Design Director, Peter Horbury, 'The new Ford Edge will inject a healthy dose of American design and personality into the hot crossover market.' Edge furthers Ford's commitment to patriotic design, as seen on the Mustang and F-series, and enters a market with no direct domestic rival. Powered by a 250PS 3.5-liter V6, with a six-speed automatic gearbox, Edge will be on the road in late 2006.
