Exactly my point. There is more to the story than it’s been reported. Perhaps with sanctions, RB no longer see the importance of the Russian market. In the end, it’s a business and businesses are all about money.

You won’t and then you did. I’ll tell you exactly what you should do: Be less of a self-contradicting douche. Learn to read. And go fuck yourself.

I’m sitting here, wondering what I’m suppose to do with this information. Am I suppose to be outraged? Not saying what Segal did was OK. Not at all. But, look at her then and in the talk show interview. Ask yourself this, “where’s the victim?”

I’m no Kvyat fan. But, lackluster performance? IIRC, he made it to a podium spot, then just a race or two later—due to first corner mishaps with a certain ex-RB driver who is more more famous—got demoted to Toro Rosso where he had no chance. IMO, I think there is more to this story. It isn’t about performance.

And then one day the drones wake up and say “fuck you” to the human masters...

But no one will know they do those things because stealth! Or so the military industrial complex would have us believe.

Not necessarily. Without any competition they wouldn’t need to push their hardware to the point of breaking.

1. Oh well. It’s Friday.

“Typical PhD, knows a whole lot about very little.”

Saito-San, you got so much right with this article. Kudos.

You didn’t search hard enough or your Google-Fu is weak. Information is everywhere. It’s even on Wiki and a few official Mazda videos on YouTube.

1. English is not their native tongue. It’s a Japanese company. Duh.

It’s the economics. Until enthusiasts out-number the average schmoe, or have deep pockets to afford high priced performance specials, the “fast & furious” glory days will not return. Even SEMA is a shadow of itself from those days.

If the past is any indication, I’d say the Kai is more or less what we’ll see in the 2019 Mazda3, slated to be introduced by March 2019. This is based on what Mazda has officially said at the Tokyo show and at Frankfurt. The rearward looking cameras (instead of mirrors) are obviously out of the question for mass…

I think he’s got Ford and RAM mixed up.

No kidding. Focus RS came out and there was no response. 10 years ago, there would’ve been from both Subaru and Mitsubishi. Times have changed. More money to be made by watering down for the masses than to a small group of enthusiasts.

“I’m not sure if it was intentional or due to budget restrictions but unlike bigger companies such as Nissan and Toyota, Subaru didn’t have any self-driving EVs on their stand this week at the Tokyo Motor Show.”

This guy:

It’s ok. Don’t cry.

Oh hey, a better looking McLaren.
