It was mostly to troll the people who simply came to the thread to bitch that they wouldn’t buy a car because they personally weren’t catered to in the configuration options.

The ICE has made leaps and bounds of improvement in that time. All we’ve added from MT is more gears.

Maybe this would finally shut up everyone who wants a Mazdaspeed 3.

Honest question here:

Probably for the best that they won’t let you put a modern powertrain with an antiquated style of transmission. It’s the 21st century; stop driving like you’re in 1930.

You could say that it’s just a natural evolution of 2018 hatchback design, but I don’t think so. Here’s a Volkswagen GTI interior for comparison.

Good lord, I haven’t gas go as low as $2.50 a gallon in urban California for probably 10 years.

Why. Does. It. Have. A. Grille. ?

It adjusts the intensity of the regenerative braking. They’ve had that since the A3 etron.

How did Cecilia never save in 7-8 hours of playing? I can’t imagine going more than 10-15 minutes without saving

With average used and new prices at at all time high and financing stretching into the 7 or 8 years, people can only care about what they can afford anymore.

For anyone who finds that interior shot way too dark to make out details:

Mazda doesn’t push enough units to build any more plants; they already built the 3 in Japan AND Mexico.

Ok, so is this to replace the CRV, or sit alongside it? Or somehow sit between CRV and Pilot?

The problem with old Caddies is that they depreciate like hell. A brief search of AutoTrader shows me Cadillacs only 3-5 years old that have lost 50+% of their value. For a young person looking to stretch their limited dollar, that’s a terrible investment, especially when factoring in fuel costs alone.

Because who the fuck wants to live in dead or dying cities in the mid-west that literally have to bribe you to move there? Or cities with bitter winters, over-reliance on cars to do anything, a lack of any uniqueness (oh! you have bars AND restaurants? How amazing!), or maybe, just maybe, you want a little diversity…

By purchasing GM Canada in its entirety, Canada would own a major, vertically integrated automaker ... A rechristened GM Canada would design vehicles for Canadians.

Holy crap this. GM has forced the Chevy brand quality so low rent that Cadillac feels more like a competitor to VW than anything else (in that it’s a mass market brand but with materials and such that make it stand slightly above the competition)

I’m with you that the Germans come with brand snobbery, but that’s nothing like the good-ol’-boy SUPPURT DA TROOPS annoyance that is admitting that you drive a GOOD ‘MERICAN BRAND like a Cadillac.

The vast majority of the car-buying public seems apathetic to GM’s car lineup. The opposition I encounter usually comes from historic baggage, where GM basically churned out crap to make sales.
