Do you think that Mazda should build a full/mid sized SUV ?

Whould you buy it?

What suggestions would you have or features would you like to see?

Would this be a hudge mistake?

no, and i doubt they ever will because of the fact that ford owns mazda and are making alot off of the explorer, excursion, and expedition(or maybe not the excursion so much, i hate that thing) and they wouldnt want the mazda suv to steal sales id think.

No - Our dealership is in Dayton Ohio. We have a GM truck and bus plant that builds the Trailblazer and all the other Trailblazers that carry different names.

The most current informqtion I have says Gm is considering cutting production on these unit back. Gm is offering 4000 to 6000 rebate on the car. That tells me the low MPG and the size of the unit isn't what the public wants.

If Mazda built such a unit it would be another FORD with a name change. Lets upgrade the 1989 Miata. Lets Turbo or Supercharge the 3. Lets build a two seat RX-8.

I don't think there is a market for Mazda SUV. Their trucks and vans aren't doing especially well. Mazda's market is sedans and sporty cars. (miata, rx-x)
