The Miata has been RWD since it’s debut in 1989. The RX-7 & 8 were RWD. The New CX-90 and upcoming 70 are RWD.

Lexus makes FWD cars, but they are in the minority of their models.

You can add in the Mazda 3 turbo to that list as quicker than the Integra for similar or less money:

It has been a long time between when 7 dropped and this one is coming out, but it sounds like they’ve completely re-written a lot of the game engine to improve it for now and into the future. While I liked the every other year cadence, I think it caused the quality of some of the titles in the series to be less than…

So much this. The fossil fuel industry does not want the damage that they do to the planet on a daily basis to be shown, so stuff like this gets published to deflect attention and help keep them profitable a few more years.

If you are the home owner, they already know your location, name, price you bought the house for, etc. which is all freely available from the county auditor’s website. It also isn’t hard to take the owner’s name and do some basic searches to figure out your email address without you even providing it to them.

Most cars made in the last 20 years or so do turn the AC on when you set the vents to front defrost, so most people have really never had to worry about this.

My youngest son just got his license a few months ago and his first car is a 2010, and while it does this, he didn’t get at first why you want to turn it there…

They still have the Mazda 3 in the lineup (hatchback and sedan), but outside of the Miata, they really don’t have a sports car. The Mazda 3 can be had in turbo AWD trims, but I wouldn’t call them sporty even though they are fun to drive.

As an owner of a 21 Mazda 3 hatchback, visibility isn’t a problem, especially with the blind spot monitoring (it does look like it should be though). I went from an Acura TSX that had a decent amount of glass to a Mazda 3 hatch with zero issues adjusting.

The real problem lies with burning anything - noxious fumes are one of the results regardless of what you are burning.

The CX-90 and CX-70 that are releasing this year are a RWD platform with AWD. Hoping they decide to do a 6 replacement with that platform, but it doesn’t seem very likely.

The catch with Audi and Porsche is they are coming in and buying or partnering with existing teams.

Almost all grills are considerably larger than they need to be (especially trucks and SUVs), but yikes, in the sunlight you really see it on this car.

Sony only has rights to Spiderman for movies.

There are multiple games that include Spiderman from other studios on other platforms and Sony doesn’t get a dime for it. What Sony did do is buy up Insomniac games (who makes the Spiderman games for the PlayStation) and made it console specific.

Doing what Sony has been doing for years. A little quid-pro-quo, so to speak.

Sony has had a history of acquiring game companies and then locking out Microsoft and Nintendo from that studio. Microsoft at least is smart enough to realize there is a lot more money out there if they sell across all platforms. Sony and Nintendo *could* do the same and profit even more than they do now, but they…

Engine development doesn’t have a budget cap, and the manufacturers that are in F1 now have spent billions on development of the current crop of engines. Red Bull doesn’t have a customer focused car brand like Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, and Honda to help offset some of the costs and R&D, so if Red Bull wants to also…

The Infinity tie in was due to Renault supplying engines, and Nissan/Renault thought that branding the engines Infinity might help with sales (it didn’t).

It’s a shame more people don’t secure loads in their trucks. I worked for a company that made seats for Honda and Acura, and they had a sled they tested the seats and shock/impact with. They would often load the back of the sled and then accelerate it and then stop it suddenly to test the back seats used in the…

If EVs were at the point they are now back in 2001 after 9/11, adoption would most likely skyrocket based on the belief that all the foreign oil profits were funding terrorism.

Starred because I use a Corsair (gaming) keyboard and mouse. I can’t keep any of the Lincoln SUVs straight either. They keep changing the naming convention every generation, so by the time I get used to the new naming convention, a new generation comes out with a totally different name. They also make absolutely zero…
