I've lived in a suburban setting very close to a major metropolitan area for all my life. That means the most densely populated part of the USA East Coast. I have to say that passing on a two lane road is not a common occurrence in suburbia. Rather this is a concept that occurs in the more rural areas. Low-power vehicles do quite well in suburban areas particularly when the roads are designed well. And I've even passed traffic on the two-lane roads in my 67 hp Mercedes in more rural areas...

I can't wait for the Skyactiv diesel to show up in Canada. I'm interested to see how it compares to VW offerings.
Yeah, the twin turbochargers and the exhaust look scary and probably very expensive to fix, but from what I've read the diesel is a perfect match for CX-5.
