If the reason was that it might cannibalize CX-5 sales then evidently they already realized that before Skyactiv was even a thing.

Scion iA rear vs Mazda2 rear
Pictured below: CX3 interior, Mazda2 Interior, and Scion iA interior lol.
Right, so it sounds like Mazda’s skyactiv is a bit different than BMW’s ErectileDysfunction.
It exists in USA both as a slightly stretched and raised version as the CX-3.
BMW is running engines with as high compression as Mazda’s Skyactiv motors in their consumer vehicles?
Petrol cars most definitely lose fuel efficiency in winter as well, especially if your gas stations use winter blend.
The 6 wagon was never going to come to the US.
The buyers would get in eternal argument about how the BMW prescribed is too small to fit their balls inside.
Konami?
It’s a holistic design philosophy. As in lighter cars, and high compression ratio efficient motors. Particularly in opposition to adding complexity and weight with hybrid technology.
We get it, you Steam!
You’re assuming an unlimited budget and perfect conditions. Factory cars are under-tuned from what their components can handle to decrease issues and increase lifespan. It’s not that they’re designed with the aftermarket in mind, but they are always designed to have lots of headroom. For example: http://jalopnik.com/ho…
A factory car is tuned to optimize the hardware it comes it. And even then all manufacturers leave headroom to extend the life of the vehicle. The FI BMW’s and Audi’s and other vehicles have quite a performance bump from just an ECU flash. Did no one see this? http://jalopnik.com/how-to-make-an…
Those DRL’S really remind me of the first A4 DRLS
