Well... the time has come... the boring white appliance is being traded in tomorrow. For those who don't remember, it's a 2019 Honda Passport Touring that I bought in November 2019 (traded in the JGC Ecodiesel) new. It now has ~81,000kms on it, still drives well and no real issues with it either. I was kinda thinking I'd keep it for a little while longer, but the new car itch was there, so I started scratching it & looking at different options for the last little bit. I think the Passport was excellent for the years I had it, never let me down & just did what it needed to do year round. I'm trading it in with the original tires on it still & am throwing in the winter wheels & tires as well, though both sets are on their last season I figure.
Picking up the new ride tomorrow afternoon on my way to hockey, will post pics of it when I get a chance, but that might not be till Friday... in the meantime, the few who check-in here can guess away :D
Perhaps replacing it with a Mazda CX-70?
Porsche Cayenne GTS!
Another new JGC?
Cybertruck

This is the answer!
I was always impressed with the Passport when I rode in it. Lots of room, a bright airy cabin, and it hauls a surprising amount of ass!
Audi SQ5, or did Ron or Tortoise spill the beans?
I'm just bandwagoning Ron's idea.
Audi SQ5/8 would also suffice.

Only with a tune though...
I'll be conservative and go with the CX-70 since I know the Gurgie family has had some Mazda's in the past.
Wouldn't be surprised at all though if you stepped it up to a Porsche Macan/Cayenne after drinking the p-car kool-aid for a long time ;D

We currently have three manual Mazda 3's in the household. Bella's 2018 3 sport, her son just got a 2012 Mazda 3 sedan with the 2.0 (his 2nd Kia Forte got written off after a Tesla 3 sideswiped him at school) a couple of months ago, and then my oldest still has his 2011 Mazda 3 GT sedan. More facts, my first car was a 1986 Mazda 323 & then my 2nd car was a 1993 Mazda MX-6 LS ;D
Passport is up for sale already...

Well I guess it must be the Mazda CX-70, question is what trim level and powertrain.
