And no one else does it too. Right.

Oh right... the older companies never broke laws ever. Right.

How the fucked did my comment about Lexus get read as a comment on the M-fucking-B GLC?? Mixing drinks?

And to add... When other (older) car companies lay off workers (union or not), no one bats an eye. When Tesla does it, “OMFG! Call the ethics police!”

Desperation? no. A bit of an egomaniac? sure. A media culture that is known to sensationalize for sake of increasing readership and clicks? Also true.

Years ago? He was on the podium last year, just a couple of races before he was moved back to TR. GTFO

“Hundreds of passengers no longer have a bus line to rely on, and several drivers are without jobs”

It’s a myth. I’ve seen my fair share of them on the side of the road. I think the real difference is customer service and dealer experience.

That grill...

That’s for sure. Personally, looking at these pictures and recalling my own first-hand experiences with Lexus cars... I really don’t see what their owners see. I only see ho-hum Toyotas in slightly better clothes.

Don’t even need to go that far. Show him a picture of the Ferrari 250 GTO side-by-side against any Lexus or Toyota. Beauty vs not-so-much. Heck, show him the Mazda Vision Coupe from Tokyo auto show.

Or just shop around longer.

And laziness.

It will take at least 10 years to get there. Mazda simply don’t have the capital Volvo has, which now has deep Chinese pockets.

Interesting how safety was never touted in the history of Civics... my sister died while behind the wheel of one, circa ‘93. Crushed like a tin can.

Pft... double decker!

No kidding. Trumps term is nearly at the 1 year mark and these morons are still obsessed with Clinton... who did not win and is not even holding a government post. During the Obama years, when anyone else (democrats, libertarians or independents) criticize GW, they cry foul. The CDC should declare state of emergency…

LOL. Wow, that’s a first for me.

Totally can relate. In my 20s and 30s, I’d drag my tools (and a heavy-ass jack) to the detached apartment complex garage Friday nights after work and wrench into the night, then go for a test drive of at least 2 hours. Now in my mid 40s, I say I’m going to work on the “project” and a year later I’ve still yet to begin.

I don’t think any journalist could have that kind of pull on Mazda. Mazda builds all of its cars in Japan. Even if they were to import limited quantities into the US, that number would still need to be great enough to offset the cost of importation. Since wagons are not in demand, even sedans are not selling now, it’s…
