Oh god, yes. As a BMW person, this pleases me. As soon as they said “inline 6" a while back, I was expecting them to do a new RWD platform. I dare you, Mazda. Do a manual. Go on, do it. Also, what else will they be building on this platform? An inline 6 RX7/8 successor? There can only be good news from this. 

I like Mazda. I’ve encouraged others to buy Mazdas. Heck, I’ve even bought a couple new Mazdas myself in the past decade. But as much as I want this to be true, I have a hard time believing this will actually happen. 

I’ve gotten this question so many times, and never properly answered it. I still won’t, because the reason is complex, and would take a book to really explain. But here’s a small portion:

The most important thing to me in this life is meeting and connecting with people from different backgrounds and with different…

Just asking this is going to make me “automatically a racist”

NO ONE should be using this word yet we reward some people with million of dollars for the continued use and distribution of this word.

Just for future reference, if you have to start off a comment with “Just asking this is going to make me ‘automatically a racist’ but...”, don’t make the comment. 

“but what about rap!!!” is probably the funniest response racists have to this whole thing.

Probably the production version of their huge (1800cc-ish) retro-cruiser that they’ve been teasing for a while now.

Have you heard of Triumph?

The CB-F Concept seems to take the UJM look, rake it more aggressively, and add some modern lighting.

An old girlfriend of mine told me this very wise thing once:

This thing is really looking good.

My Bronco’s speedo went up to 110. Which always made me laugh, because falling off a cliff, the aerodynamics would make it top out at about 80.

Parking is super easy—pull in forward with the wheel turned until you feel it go over the curb, then steer it off until it drops back onto the street, straighten wheel, and back up if needed. Of course, not everyone can do it as testified to by a Jeep GC at one of my sites who has one of the substantial tire sidewalls…

How about the refined driving mechanics, the instant torque thrust, the great handling provided by the extremely low center of gravity due to batteries or the stupidly precise torque/hp distribution for each wheel... May I say more?

I get it, Internal combustion engines sound and feel great, but an electric vehicle can…

I don’t find Teslas boring, but if you do, the Taycan may change your mind.

No Jetsons car sound - no care.

Fake exhaust note pumped-in to an M3's cabin, sacrilege.

Nope: The closer you try to get the pickier people get.
