Don’t be so sure. This is an EV and all manufacturers are jumping on that bandwagon.

You’ll be old men and the cars will make no sound and be driverless. Happy Halloween.

The reverse swede.

LA show has gotten much smaller. 2 years ago, it was about a third of 10 years ago.

The hatchback looks much better.

No shit, Sherlock. Of course they’re designed for a purpose. Companies don’t spend millions on R&D for nothing. With Mazda’s i-activsense suite of safety tech (blind spot monitory, obstacle detection, automatic braking, etc.) physical blind spots are a non-issue. And Mazda is looking to make these features standard…

Chasing a dying category? No. They are simply continuing to advance and making progress where others had given up.

smh. clueless.

You just don’t get it.

The designers and engineers tried. The rest of the company were either lost or gave up. I remember seeing their LA Auto Show space two years before they called it quits. I was during the all important press and industry days. The space was in disarray, like not even set up. The staff were either not their or weren’t…

That isn’t the point.

Look up the Takeri concept car and look at the production Mazda6. You’re going to eat your words.

Someone who actually loves cars.

Oh right. Because the engine is made of paper and weighs like nothing. Absurd.

Kizashi was good. SX4 was also good and would fit right into the current CUV boom. But, Mitsubishi acted like an Alzheimer’s patient. Spent no money on advertising. Showed up at auto shows with small crews that just didn’t care any more.

Concepts are supposed to be no holds bared, pie in the sky, high level ideas. The point is to not be restrained by production or technological constraints.

Generalization is the delicious low hanging fruit of the lazy.

You realize you are commenting on a post about Mazda? Even during the Ford days Mazda interiors were not cluttered.
