Please tell me there is footage of the standup.

First question: I’m super excited about the new Mazda 3 because knowing Mazda it will be gorgeous. I just bought a CPO 2017 3 back in January of this year. How much crack would I have to smoke to justify getting the new one?

Obligatory “typical Toyota driver” comment. 

As a BMW Service Manager, hahahahahaha. “If.”

What is that line in the lower left of the second interior picture? Colored the same as the seat, follows the stitching before continuing on past the bolsters. Some kind of photoshop oops?

Not an EC145. It’s an Agusta AW109.

Pretty unrelated to the article, but I’m pretty sure that quote was said by Jaime Pressly is “Not Another Teen Movie,” no?

Isn’t his Hyundai based on the Santa Fe?

Probably one of the most gorgeous pieces of machinery I’ve ever seen - The MV Agusta F3 (in the 800cc flavor). I love my Street Triple R but would take the MV in a heartbeat over it.

How about a special ‘seal of approval’ or ‘blue ribbon’ - type award that could be posted in the corner of the new rating box that said something like, ‘We’d actually buy it.’ I know you guys are not loaded but I think it could resonate with a…

Actually my local Triumph dealer allows test rides on any bike in the showroom.
