Wait, are you trying to say the Pacer and Gremlin aren’t hallmarks of design??

Legacy, Fusion and Altima are better equated to the Mazda 6. The 3 is quite a bit smaller, more on par with Impreza, Corolla, etc.

I have to disagree with you here. In person, the C-pillar area of the hatch is really pretty. You can get a better sense of the different contours involved and it really does look like the sheet metal is tightly wrapped around the structure underneath.

They’ve already said there won’t be anything new using the Mazdaspeed name now that they’ve moved upmarket, but they did NOT say there wouldn’t be a performance version altogether.  I’d love for them to get into rally with one of these and release an STI-like version of it... 

I second this. Snow tires would definitely help.

That’s a cool memory! Patton seems like a genuine guy, even today...

Cars can be shipped! I mean, it would probably cost $1,000 or maybe even a little more, but even then I still think this is a good deal.

Christian Horner? Is that you? 

If I had a garage, I’d buy this thing in a heartbeat. It’s unique, it’s fun, it’s in decent enough shape that I wouldn’t be TOO concerned about something major breaking in the near future...

Maybe GM found a warehouse of Saturn Ion spares that they have to work through...

I used to work at a place where parking was kind of tight, and one of the guys I worked with was kind of a dick and just HAD to have one particular space. After getting fed up with people constantly parking in “his” space, he grabbed some spare metal shelving pieces and started stacking them in that space. Since he

So you grafted on the back end of a Chrysler Pacifica? 

“It’s here to hold the line.”

By the time my current lease is up these should be on the road and we’ll have a pretty good idea of how they perform in the real world, if the build quality has improved, etc.

Answers for the first post are ZF 8-speed, and yes you can make an SUV/crossover more car-like.  Proof is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio.  I can’t stop singing the praises of mine.... it handles better than any car I’ve ever had, it’s comfortable and easy to drive on regular trips around town, and goes like a beast when I

Now instead of pushing out a lot of cars, he’ll be pushing out a lot of daisies. 

Didn’t Fisker use a Corvette chassis as a test mule? Either that or they at least disguised their test mule as one... 

I’ve wanted to like Maserati for some time now. They’re all very attractive, I love the history of the brand, but the current offerings are pretty disappointing to sit in and the driving experience, from what I’ve heard, isn’t really anything special. Given the price, you’d expect something better than “okay”

So what’s going to replace the “Loud pipes save lives” slogan for when e-bikes become more popular?  

There was even a spec Neon racing series!
