Mazda rotary cars aren’t loved just for the engine. It’s how the car drives and how the entire car feels. Mazda isn’t just an engine company. They build their cars to have a certain sporting feel... Cars that are responsive to the driver’s input. Cars that feel like natural extensions of the driver. Rotary is only one…

And the torquey (i.e. responsive) nature of electric drive plays well into Mazda’s jinba ittai philosophy.

we shouldn’t let these cars rot

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.
