I’m speechless in front of the progress Honda has made recently.

What happened?
5 short years ago they came out with the fake-grill-fest FK8, now this manual, composed beauty...
Have they completely rehauled the management?

I’m in shock.
After the Civic, this is the second Honda not astonishingly fugly.

Have they understood that an unbearably ugly design is not mandatory?

It’s just the first year in which it is truly struggling.
Considering the age of the model, it’s due to a renovation or a completely new model, especially in such a competitive segment.

What a disgrace.

Yep, probably since the first DPF.
And noise too, above maybe 25 mph.

And with heavier vehicles with bigger tyres is only gonna get worse.
A more environmentally friendly car is not a car, most of the times. It’s public transport.

Basically all of the Mazda models are outliers in some technical and engineering detail.
That’s why I truly appreciate them as a company.

“Speedracer” is nothing short of a visual art masterpiece.

Seems like they went back to phisical buttons for everything non-infotainment, or at least for the climate.
Noice.

It’s either light or very powerful or somewhat affordable.
Pick two.

Jesus Christ.

For a person with no interest in cars, and for a normal car (nothing exotic, sportscars or whatever) that’s needed every day, I usually consider everything under 25k miles (40k kilometers) and 4-5 years basically as brand new, and everything under 50k (80k kilometers) still fairly decent and mostly assle free for many…

JustWatch has been a thing for years now.
I believe it does exactly that.

There are definitely two conflicting trends in trying to make your car LED lights as recognisable as possible while contemporary wanting a rear light bar at all costs.
All brands seem to make this same choice.

IMHO naming their SUV range with mountain passes makes perfectly sense to me, indeed I applauded the choice.
What better than a 4x4 to surpass an impervious mountain range?
Add to that that the Stelvio pass has one of the most famous strip of road in all Europe, destination for lots of motorbike, bike and car…

It’s also hardly a secret that Ferrari has been grinding record sales and record profits for years now, so the example is not quite fitting.

Purosangue (“pure breed” in italian) attached to this car is the most ironically idiotic name in the history of branding.

I pop in just to say that 78 HP, for what we call a “segment A” in Europe, are fairly adequate, especially around the city, especially with a manual.
Who says otherwise probably has never driven a citycar.

I bet that most of you actually would want this :P

IMHO now that we finally have a budget cap we don’t need this plethora or rules supposedly done to keep costs down.
Let them have fun.

Yep, same feeling.
They abandoned the fluid and sinuous desing of current Mazdas and embraced something more “squared”, BMW-esque.
