I’m sure they COULD, and it would probably work very well. Mazda isn’t the type of company to use off-the-shelf parts, outside of normal stuff like electronics. They have 2 dedicated transmission factories in Japan and Thailand. 

The only problem with the Mazda 3 is that it’s TINY. If you’re over 5'10" or so, the front is a tight squeeze and the rear is pretty much useless except for children (WITHOUT a car seat) and cargo. If you’re normal sized and childless, it’s pretty much a perfect car, especially the hatchback. Highway mileage on the…

I don’t think they have a manual that can handle the torque of their turbo engines. Even their older 2.5L is putting out over 300 ft-lbs. I doubt they’d put money into developing one either.

I’m sure they would make it. Sell it in the US? Absolutely not. 

Automatic only unfortunately. I don’t think these handle that great anyway. The Caterham 7 would be a better choice for a canyon carver. 

Happens to me from time to time our Mazda 6 has SUPER bright running lights, and my wife likes to forget that it has automatic headlights, and turns the stalk to “off”. Takes me a couple miles to realize my headlights (and therefore tail lights) aren’t actually on. 

Those seats look comfy as fuck. 

The unfortunate part is that current Morgan cars globally are autotragic only (due to BMW mostly having abandoned stickshifts)

Capacitive touch buttons. Started to gain traction with Cadillac’s CUE, but the most egregious example I’ve seen is the Ferrari Roma. Everything on the steering wheel is capacitive, and even the mirror adjustment uses it.

I live in Southern California, and I have seen exactly ONE Z since it came out. On the flip side, I see at least one GR Corolla a week, and they started production at almost exactly the same time. 

The difference is Google/Waymo’s system would be on ACTUAL autonomous cars, and thus able to fully take over and continue safely on the way to your destination.

I have one of those Big Dumb Cups, and it fits just fine in my Mazda’s conventional round cupholder. Albeit you can only fit a single one and a regular sized cup at the same time. 

As long as the body kit is MADE for fender washers, like the Pandem and Rocket Bunny kits, I think it looks good. But using rivets/fender washers on a kit not designed with them in mind just looks half-assed.

Volkswagens with delusions of grandeur

But all of Audi’s line up looks like they copy-pasted a single model and used the scaling tool to fit it into a certain volume of space.

The bass boat flake really sets off the 90's vibe. I know the pinstriped wheel wells are supposed to be the accent piece, but having that same design on the side of the truck would’ve really cemented the look. 

I think they wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, hence them sticking with the Subaru engine. I think it’s even lower than the Supra’s, despite the Supra being lower to the ground. 

Not with the boxer engine. This is basically running the exact same drivetrain as the GR Corolla, which means the engine is transverse mounted and higher up, giving a LOT more room for turbo mounting. 

See, I wish they would have used a Subaru transaxle/AWD system along with the GR Corolla’s engine. Seeing a transverse mounted engine in the GR86 just feels wrong. It’s going to have the characteristics of a FWD based AWD system by default, instead of the RWD setup the chassis deserves. I know you can do a 30/70…

The act of yanking out the F-150 is likely NOT what did in the Cybertruck. In the scene before the failure, the Cybertruck is driven off a concrete pipe, and the hitch mount actually HITS the pipe on the way down. The rear-end drops about 4 feet before it hits the pipe. So the Cybertruck’s frame was probably weakened/c…
