When I was in college, my roommates saw a long-distance call on the phone bill no one could remember making. Instead of paying the bill and protesting the charge, they didn't pay the bill and protested the charge. Our phone service was cut off. Frankly, I don't fault the phone company at all.

I agree.

History only matters if people remember it, and the only people who remember that are dead.

What's not to understand about the Infiniti naming scheme? Bigger numbers are more expensive cars, just like BMWs and everyone else.

"I'd like to see them drop the 2.5L in the car. It's the same block as the 2.oL Skyactiv."

Now that's a render I can get behind. And, yes, I saw the wagon/shooting brake, and no, that's not interesting to me in the least.

So, what someone might assume makes a photo wrong?

No way it gets down to 2100 lbs—not in the US, at least. Expect something closer to 2300 lb.

Mazda has said quite a bit about what the new design will look like:
- Be more masculine

V8 Roadsters is building swap kits for the RX-8. I'm very interested in their kit for the LFX V6 from the Camaro. 320 hp & 280 lb-ft is exactly what the RX-8 needs, and the V6 will be short enough to not have to redo as much under the hood & maintain the low polar moment of inertia.

Having talked with Mazda (corporate) employees, there *is* a Sky-R engine. They continue to do research, so there's always a chance. However, since Mazda is the only company actively working on it, the Wankel will likely always be a step behind conventional engines.

This is Jalopnik, that's what they do.

Car makers are desperate for the CD to die. They want to reclaim the space taken up by the CD player for some other gadget that they can charge a premium for.

Give me buttons every day. I've accidentally hit cruise stalks many more times than cruise buttons. IMO, I never want to see anything more than two stalks on a steering column—one for lights/blinkers and the other for wipers—and nothing else.

Jalopnik is notorious for changing the topic between the questions & answers. And honestly, for most people in the south, I doubt they'd check the heated options, just like they don't check the AWD option.

Well said. My current car has them, but they were a package deal, and I wouldn't have paid for them if I had the choice.

To each their own. Personally, I've never been impressed with leather, but it can be easier to quickly clean up a spill.

This strikes me as odd. Just about every new car has a USB port or two. You can pick up a low-profile thumb drive that you won't even notice is there. They're cheap. It's completely wired and controlled through the car's system, and you can put full CD-quality files on it if you want. Good music & good fidelity—why…

Yuck. I'd hate to hear a phone ringing through car speakers. But then again, I'm not surgically attached to my phone, and I can even (gasp!) leave it at home.

If there's a button to use it, it can't be "totally handsfree."
