Mazda Canada offered the CX-5 with a 155hp 2.0L, FWD and 6MT up until 2018 (US availability ended in 2016 with the first generation), likely because it let them advertise a lower starting price and lower fuel consumption.

Title of the video is “we almost died...”

That’s odd, up in Canada it’s reversed. The Versa is CVT only while the larger Sentra offers a manual on the base S trim.

Agreed, I’d prefer the Tacoma with a manual, but the Frontier doesn’t look too bad

I agree, with the exception of the Sentra, but at least it still offers a manual.

2024 Maverick Hybrid starts at $27265 with freight, 2024 Miata starts at $30170 with freight.

Frontier is ok, thankfully still NA for those that want to avoid turbos like in nearly every other midsize truck. Z is cool and attractive but too expensive, should slot right between Ecoboost and V8 Mustangs, but is closer to V8 money. GT-R is legendary, but Nissan should have killed it off after a decade of…

Will the Saudis want to get involved in a sport who’s roots are in fighting prohibition?

Did Elon propose calling Thierig and Demmler the Sick Squad, or SS for short?

I cannot fathom the $58965 CDN starting price Chrysler Canada has for the base model, non-hybrid, Pacifica. That’s almost $7000 more than the starting price of the next cheapest van (Odyssey at $52056, Sienna at $48015 and Carnival at $43280)

Max already has “fuck you” money... I mean, “ to heck with you” money

“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post. Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text”

“And no one is even trying to assassinate Musk 🤔”

That’s unfortunate that there’s no real performance gains, but I guess you’d need a finely calibrated butt dyno to feel +18hp and +9lbs-ft. Hopefully our 2.5L lasts 300,000km or more, I’ve seen numerous used models for sale well past 250,000km. I will keep your advice in mind though if we do have to replace the…

What is the Mazda5/Fusion 2.5L swap like? Plug and play? What was the total cost?

My 2006 Mazdaspeed6 not only had auto up/down on all four windows, if you pressed the window switch to the first detent it would crack the windows open slightly and then if you continued to hold the switch down, it would roll them down until you let go of the switch. That auto-crack feature was really handy during…

I don’t mind the slideshow per se (with an Ad Block at least), I get really irritated when they make you wait a certain number of seconds before going to the next slide.

Shit, now it’s a slide show for me as well (also using Chrome on windows desktop). I guess I spoke too soon.

Holy crap, is the slide show finally dead?!?!
