What is your problem with a sub-2400lbs rear-wheel drive convertible, with four-wheel independent suspension (MacPherson-free), capable of a ~6 second 0-60 time that costs less than a Toyota Camry? The only cars that weigh less are the Smart ForTwo, Alfa Romeo 4C, and Lotus Elise/Exige. One isn’t much fun and the

Since they are both being constructed in Hiroshima, technically it is still built by Mazda. ;)

While I want more rotaries, more Miatas, and more MAZDASPEED; this is the type of vehicle that will get Mazda volume to make more of the former an acceptable risk.

Loving the interior, bettered only by the Volvo new XC90. I’m curious what sort of weight this thing will launch at — is it a full SkyActiv chassis and thus

Automotive design is not analogous with automotive manufacturing or automotive engineering.

Why not? My first bike was a 955cc Speed Triple and it gave me eight wonderful years of riding without trouble or consequence to its size or specific output. People should buy what they want to ride and be responsible, if that is a 250cc Grom, awesome! If that is a 850cc Ducati Monster, rock on! I’d have fun on either

It is important to note that the first-generation shown here was a traditional steel construction with the second-generation introducing a hybrid aluminium/steel design.

I was a big fan of these, especially the TT-S with quattro, a 3.2L VR6, and DSG.

Go drive one. I can’t speak for the 1.5L but the 2.0L was an enjoyable experience. I’ve owned a ton or more-powerful, much-faster cars and I don’t fault it for being what it is at the given price point.

Test drove a 2016 Sport today and was thoroughly impressed despite the very limited test drive time. I’m sure I’ll get flogged by the faithfuls but it was significantly more enjoyable than my experience with the MazdaSpeed Miata when they first launched.

Do not want!

The number of driven-wheels is a product of your understanding of algebra. Solve for X to find out Y. Y Saab, Y?!

He cleverly engineered a new generation of Diesel technology for VW while at Porsche back in 2007 before leaving, selling his employee stock options and retiring to South-East Pennsylvania, where they’d never think to look for him.

What is the secret to escaping the grey? I feel like I’m on that airplane in The Langoliers.

“But it is the German Hellcat.” he said with a lack of confidence in his own words.

I can’t really fault this if it is a true x5M/x6M.

I don’t care that it isn’t the best bike out there, or even best in its class, it has character and style and gosh-darn it, I want one!

It is the Fiat 500 Abarth of the motorcycle world.

We’ve had Prime for several years, since before the streaming video was available and found it practical even then. Since I don’t have normal cable/satellite service, having Hulu/Netflix/Amazon together give us plenty of content and still costs less than basic cable.

As a former FD3S RX-7 owner that also suffered apex seal failure, I can tell you it isn’t that bad.

I’ve driven an RX-8 and wasn’t wowed by the power; it reminded me of my old K-series Civic Si. It was fun but you had to wring the shit out of it to go anywhere. The experience in a C7 Corvette was the opposite, power was immediate and plentiful (duh!); that said, while easy and fun, it wasn’t exciting to drive. The

That titanium silver color over brown of the Spyder is stunning! My one complaint about the ND is the lack of color options. Hopefully next year they open the floodgates and give it some of the many beautiful colors available from Mazdas history.

Consider me satisfied.

Scratch that satisfaction, my comments still appear grey!
