Someone needs to start the trend of using taxidermied roadkill.

Well damn.

Except the Haas logo is in serious need of an update. It looks like it was drawn by a middle-schooler with a ruler in 1982; not a good representation of the great CNC machines they make.

And you are effectively flushing money down the toilet at that interval.

You’ve not gone camping have you? There is no such thing as a quiet generator in the great outdoors.

“I don’t understand why GM still hasn’t utilized the Bolt’s drivetrain in other vehicles.”

Oh please. Even a $50 one has variable temp. $200 is way overpriced for a box, trays, heating element, fan and a simple circuit board with a resistor and knob.

Variable compression. Not variable valve magic. Variable valve magic is decade-old news (i.e. Honda’s VTEC, Toyota’s VVTI and BMW’s VANOS).

The automotive industry is full of hyperboles. Are you really a car enthusiast or are you just a fucking tourist?

Obsess much?

No.

Fastback SUVs are stupid. You don’t have a utility vehicle and say “I want less utility”. Something like that is a niche product, appealing to a niche audience. Mazda is too small of a company to rely on niche customers.

Nope. Mazda has already said the next CX-3 would be based on the new 3. This is it.

Was it Chuck Norris??

I work on Mazda marketing. I assure you it did not come from marketing.

It’s automotive industry insider speak. Gasoline compression ignition tech is considered so complex and difficult that it is considered a pie-in-the-sky or “holy grail” dream. GM, with much greater resources, tried it some 15 years ago and gave up. The context has nothing to do with religion, so put the bible away and…

CX-4 is its own animal. This is the CX-3.

There is nothing sinister about the pricing strategy. It’s simple economics. Demand for automatics is higher. Higher volume = lower cost. Those who demand manuals are in the minority. From manufacturing perspective, economy of scale is working against the minority. Lower volume = higher cost.

Yup. Perhaps the tendency to make bad decisions have something to do with the divorce.

Here’s an idea... American car companies: get out of the luxury segment and focus on making your core brands the best brands/products they can possibly be.
