Odd that there’s no option to configure a 2020 CX-5 diesel on the American or Canadian Mazda websites. I wonder if this was a one year model that was pulled due to low sales.

How about automakers flip the phrase and start telling us about how well suited their cars are for lifestyle activism?

Seems odd that KTM and Husqvarna would both be competing since KTM owns Husky.

3rd Gear: I will forever more refer to Mitsubishi as Bishibishi

Regarding deals on manual transmission cars:

Totally useless fact about Christmas Island that I just learned yesterday: their timezone is +14:00 hrs GMT...yes, “2 hrs” further east than the International Date Line. I don’t know why they couldn’t just be -10:00 hrs GMT, that’s beyond me.

Agree 100%. My wife and I named our puppy Nova partially because I like third-gens so much.

Hey now, a lot of time, hard work and dedication went into moving stuff from the right side of the page to the left, and stuff from the left side of the page to the right.

They would be better off marketing the torque in Nurples

Somewhat related: I subscribe to Motortrend, Car And Driver and Road & Track, and in the last couple of months I’ve received 3 very aggressively priced renewal reminders from CAD and R&T stating that I need to re-up my subscription soon or I’ll miss issues, but I know for a fact that my subscription is good until…

But how can all the super car manufacturers sell cars when they surely come nowhere close to meeting CAFE? McLaren isn’t part of a larger company like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti or Rolls-Royce, and yet it can still sell cars here without having.

This resulted in STI working with government organizations as a secondary manufacturer, similar to how Lexus is considered a secondary manufacturer to Toyota. Because of STI’s secondary manufacturer status, the S209 gets lumped into the Subaru lineup when it comes to fleet emissions requirements, etc., but allows STI…

My house was built in 1971 and most of it is wired with aluminum (copper in the basement because it was finished later on). When my wife and I moved in, I had to change all the switches and receptacles to CO/ALR units because they used standard units. Found 3 receptacles with charred wiring, SMH.

Preach! And while we’re at it, let’s abolish motorcycle helmet and car seatbelt laws, because after all, Jesus never wore a seatbelt or helmet.

Sept Cent Quatre-vingt Dix-neuf Cheveux-Vapeur

Jeeze, Elizabeth, you should have been included in the most recent Tempest podcast.

How about the Mustang ReVolt, because that’s what enthusiasts will do when Ford slaps another storried performance name like Mustang on a crossover, such as with the Edge ST and Explorer ST.

That is some bullshit! “Rotating tires” is not simply swapping the position of the tires on a car. Using their reading of the law, the shop wouldn’t even have to install the nuts/bolts, they could just hang the wheels off the hubs and the job would be considered complete.

sit on a phone book, you’re not using it for anything else anyway.

Matte black is now almost exclusively seen on beat up cars driven by rednecks. It was a fad and it’s thankfully over. Pick a vibrant colour if you want to wrap a car.
