You’re drunk.

Expect it on next (7th) generation Mazdas. They’ve said in recent statements of what they think is wrong with current interior design trends (large distracting LCD screens that intrude on the act of driving). And part of their alliance with Toyota is to develop next-gen infotainment.

I say Mazda should start a custom order program like the other premium/luxury brands—let these tranny trolls put money where their mouths are. Sure, it’d take time for their custom configured cars to be built and delivered. But, if they really want one like they say, they should be willing to wait (and pay) for it.…

To you!

Bought? no. I work on stuff for them.

Pre-threaded? what is that? Pre-wired?

In advertising it’s called “borrowed interest” and is usually said with distain... but is done in practice all too often.

“The Kia Stinger is a pretty impressive value considering the speed, style, and features”

Have you spent time in the 3rd row of a CX-9? It is not meant to be a “LOOK AT ME, I HAVE 3 ROWS!” CUV. It is truthfully a CUV that happens to have a 3rd row, should you ever find yourself needing it once upon a time. Between spaciousness and sportiness, Mazda always lean towards latter.

That doesn’t mean the transmission or act of driving itself has been made more distracting. It is the multitasking [bad] drivers who are voluntarily introducing unnecessary distractions.

Mazda takes great pains to fine tune everything... including shift points and responsiveness.

Then you should probably be shopping Cadillacs. Mazda’s design philosophy isn’t to create a spacious VIP airport lounge on wheels. They are all about sporting feel, from the driving dynamics to the interior. The designs are meant to be comfortably snug like a well fitted cockpit/command center. Like how one would…

Yes. But what happened in band camp?

1. No shit Sherlock.

Can you kick it? Yes I can. In the tailpipe and to the curb.

Mobile chilling place is me carving an empty canyon in my ‘o1 M Roadster. Fuck this self-driving mobile lounge crap.

It’s a tie rack.

Everything about this car makes me physically ill.
