Quad turbo? Oh the service department is going to love this.

Terra-AF.

Because “X-treme!!!” is not in today’s vernacular.

And heaps better looking than the new.

This just about sealed the deal on demand and resale for the diesel Wrangler.

Aaw, lame. I was digging the blue camouflage. Maybe Haas could take it as inspiration and do gray-white-black camouflage with red accents. Another year, another ugly livery for the team.

She was born rich like most of the wealthy. What rule exactly did she rewrite?

The new official vehicle of high school cheerleaders.

Exactly this. They may be doing well as new cars... used cars are a different story.

And most (if not all) dealer test drives don’t even begin to give you a hint of a car’s inherent handling characteristics.

1st gear: Seat belts were once seen as costly options. Once safety tech become more widespread (and it’s already getting that way) cost will come down. In order to be more competitive, manufacturers are starting to push to make some, if not all, of the safety features standard (see Mazda).

You’re right. It’s for China. And it doesn’t matter how it drives. Because when in Chinese hands, they won’t be driven by the owner. That is why the legroom is good.

Regardless of which it competes with... Think. No oil changes or other fluids to drain and replenish. No fuel cost. Plus, over the air software updates. Every try to do software update on the nav or entertainment system on a BMW? I have. Even if you follow all the instructions, it can still be a frustrating experience…

Few years ago... Porsche/Audi/BMW/Merceds: “Worried? Nah. Tesla is a joke.”

It would leave the pavement, just not in America. Think oil-rich middle eastern countries like UEA, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Kill it with fire (though it would probably survive).

For 45k you could get a Lotus Evora. More power. Better reliability and usability.

Your argument works better if it was centered around a Lotus rather than a Miata.

That livery... ugh. SMH. Can the graphic designer already.

When you get old and have to drive in traffic a lot, you will understand. The autos in the Mazdas aren’t bad. They try their best to keep focus on the driving experience (uninterrupted by an unresponsive or indecisive auto). The tranny isn’t the thing I’d pick a bone about. The car could use a little more power...…
