Unseen what you’re doing, you want Mazda to build an Audi TT.

Because that’s a reasonable decision to make: “I’m going to buy an 8000 pound truck that is harder to orient spatially and gets significantly worse fuel economy to make trips to the grocery store so that if I get in an accident I’ll kill  the person driving a Honda Civic.”

The o lot updating Toyota will ever do is to scrap their current model (Tundra) wait a few years/decades, announce a new tundra, build hype, and then everyone finds out that they’re just buying F-150s and putting a different front fascia and tail lights on it. Oh, and no turbo motors for their version of the F-150,…

It probably won’t be bad to drive. I’m sure BMWs engineers can figure it out, but part of the reason I would ever consider buying luxury brands would be to get a proper RWD sedan. If I’m shopping for a 2 series size car, and they offer FWD just like the non-premium brands where does the price increase come from?…

I was thinking more of a true BRG.

Excuse me, beige with tan interior would like to have a word with you.

I don’t mind it because I drive my car and never see it crop up. That $100k Porsche has rust because driving an expensive car before selling it is a risky proposition. Much better to tow it everywhere. There’s a Ford dealer down the road that still has an RS on the showroom floor. The rotors look terrible because it’s…

$40k could get you into some 2-4 year old track monsters. Forget track monsters you could find plenty of sports sedans that are significantly younger and with less mileage on the odometer. Professionally built or not, this car is a Frankenstein, maybe worth $9k. Not only is this CP, this seller is clearly still high.

As with most things, there’s a spectrum. The extremes on those spectrum are almost always louder than the the more moderate ones. I’m sure there are “drag racers” that don’t mind drifting and ones that may even like the prospect, but the ones who hate it won’t shut up.

I’d like to know the torque split on the center differential. Obviously it’s biased to the front, but how much of that precious precious power sees the rear wheels?

I get what you are saying, and I appreciate your point. There is more to the realm of enthusiasm than loud abnoxious cars. The article has, based on my perception, farther reaching implications though and even mentions the word Camry, a car which I believe doesn’t do anything well enough to garner enthusiasm. Sure the…

Even ten years is a long stretch. Look at how much one’s eyesight can decline between the ages of 70-80. I get it, it sucks to get around here without a car even in cities where public transit is widely available. At the same rate, we should require recertification every other year. You are operating a two ton…

With the amount of people who can’t seem to remember to turn headlights on at night, I’d say we need semiannual skill checks for all licensed people. That way we keep people who are liable to make mistakes like the one detailed above off the road.

I mean the edge, like most crossovers, is just based on a car. Crossovers generally share powertrains with the cars they are based on, and in the event of the edge sport, you’re basically buying a Fusion Sport on stilts. You know what you can’t buy in the states? A Fusion wagon. No Fusion wagon means no Fusion Sport…

What?

Drag racing guys have a general disdain for drifting because it goes against every single discipline in drag racing. The point of drifting isn’t the fastest time, or getting the tires to hook. It’s not about shifting or shaving tenths of a second and it’s not about doing something as quickly as possible. They are…

I think if your not willing to force yourself into the clusterfuck of owning an FCA product to get your hands on a ZF trans and are unable to afford a Eurobrand that has one, your hard pressed to find a better automatic transmission (traditional slush box) than what Mazda offers. It will hold gears to redline and bang…

No. Just no.

Concerns: weren’t these 4 speed autos failure prone? Or was that only in the 97-02?

Electronics claymore.
