Mazda Crossport CX-7
Mazda takes a shot at the BMW X3 with it’s new SUV called the CX-7. The CX-7 is derived from the Mazda Crossport concept which it had been showcasing at some autoshow exhibitions lately.
It’s evident the CX-7 takes it’s styling cues from the delicious Mazda RX-8. It’s a cross-over SUV type of vehicle which basically means it’s something like a sports car with SUV practicality. Very “zoom-zoom” indeed. And check this out, the original MX-Crossport comes with with 4 bucket seats for the front and rear seats.
Don’t know if this will be in the production CX-7 model or not. It runs on 275/45/R20 wheels… huge! But the height of the MX-Crossport is only 1.6 meters, lower than others in it’s class. The car is built to be low and wide with a long wheelbase, similiar to what Honda did with it’s new Honda Odyssey.
Doubt that funky interior will be in the production version… too funky! 
The car is very Mazda indeed. Sports car blood in everything, even SUVs. I really think Proton is trying to be Mazda sometimes.
The CX-7 will begin production in 2006.

[...] Not bad, I like the design though the front needs abit getting used to. SUV-coupe crossovers seem to be the trend these days, with the upcoming BMW X6 and the Mazda CX-7 as examples. GM Daewoo’s design center is getting better! I think they have the best designs to ever be produced by Koreans EVAR! [...]
