Someone made the same uninspired comment on the Mazda6 Turbo article. One hole is for the dipstick, the other for the oil fill cap. If the owner happens to use it to store a beverage while they’re enthusiastically doing something under the hood, well, so be it.

3 for three!

Womp womp.

In the more-brightly lit photos, the rear pillars don’t appear as big. There’s also a black section of the rear hatch/spoiler that also makes it look bigger, but on my wife’s CX-5 it serves as a vertical wind director. The journalists who have been test-driving the SkyActiv-X prototypes also didn’t complain about…

The Mazda’s prettier.

Just kick out UAW and the Canadian union (UNIFOR?) first. Same employees, no union (or at least not the UAW. Ugh.)

A natural process is groan-worthy? I’m genuinely more confused now.

Are Anchorman references lost on you? Sad.

They weren’t quite IN the woods, though.

Oh, cub on!

Maybe Brick Tamlin was wrong when he stated that “The bears can smell the menstruations.” Perhaps it was actually the chocolate that accompanies such monthly cycles that they smell and are attracted to?

The doors still sound like tin foil on the new models, and StarLink is still bass-ackwards.

I quite agree. All the Japanese brands with US offerings - except Mazda, who has one of the best-looking lineups in the world - are just awful. They’re all overwrought, busy, awkward, and they’ve lost the glory and Focus of their predecessors.

Levorg? It’s literally “grovel” backwards. 

A mobile billboard to show off chrome letters and numbers. Sometimes there are words. 

On the plus side, previous Equus/G90s were “inspired by” Mercedes, Lexus, and other luxury marques. Does this then grant some legitimacy to the recent resurgence of Lincoln and Volvo?

Very much so. It’s like modern pop and other “music” that sample “greatest hits” from prior generations (and even modern good stuff I suppose), but the final work is cringey and annoying.

Literally took the words out of my mouth, er, fingers. I was going to type “They took a Lincoln Continental with Volvo headlamps, but hit it in the face with an Acura (ugly) stick. To finish it off, they put Cadillac-crest-shaped tailpipes on it.”

Condolences to the family. Truly an automotive legend and hero. Only 77, damn.

Well, in certain parts of Florida, if the paramedic team opts for a crude term instead of the medically-sound “feces” or “fecal matter”, it could be more common than you’d think.
