WTF. They didn’t change the engine or the chassis. The engine is still an AER. The chassis is still a Riley. The pace is also helped by IMSA separating DPi and LMP2 classes, making the latter slower.

More like zero chance. They don’t have enough money to build a halo car like the RX-Vision. Especially when SUVs are the only cars selling. They can’t take their already limited resources away to develop a small volume car. That would be suicide.

You just have to check imsa.tv. I was just watching the TCR race there.

IMSA will likely put races on their youtube channel 3 to 7 days later just like last year.

Wait till you see the new CX-3 later this year. It’s going to knock your socks off.

Soul Red Crystal Metallic. Higher contrast than Soul Red.

Hah. Spoke with a director who shot for KIA. They wound up using 2 Stingers for a one day shoot because one couldn’t last a full day of drifting. Sure, dump enough money on anything and it will perform. But, how long will it last?!

Knee-jerk reaction and having an opinion (like assholes) is far easier than reading and learning. That’s how we ended up with President Cheeto.

You want AWD, better quality interior, a stick in high trim, Apple CarPlay, etc. without paying a single dime more? GTFO and stop smoking so much weed.

STOP BEATING THE DEAD HORSE. 

Rust is associated with the Ford-Mazda generation of cars. Get over it.

Toyota reliability is part myth and part good customer service. And Mazda’s perception of mediocre reliability is based on older generation of cars (the Ford days) that is no longer accurate (see CR survey ranking of most reliable cars published in October 2018).

VW has not been reliable since the 80s. And Mazda’s workforce is primarily Japanese. So your theory is... well, more like a fantasy.

Obviously... Style, near luxury interior materials & driving experience.

Are you “Bongo”?

Three things I’d like to know... Mazda’s infotainment system has been widely criticized for slow and buried UI. Has it been improved in that respect? Secondly, the resolution of the back up camera has also been widely criticized. Any improvement there? When the Kai concept and the preproduction 3 were shown, people…

Federal certification for the -X is likely being impacted by the shutdown. NHTSA and DEQ aren’t known for being speedy to begin with.

“4th Gear: Chinese Government Is Pushing Autonomous Tractors Now”

It’s a Toyota, not a Rolls Royce for fuck sake.

Nice click bait. Prior to current spec being reality, same was said. Yet once the race got under way the cars got faster and broke lap records. Whatever the rules are, the best of the best engineers will find speed. It’s what they do. And if you spend 5 min or less on GEICO.com, you could save 5% or more on car…
