Sorry to be that guy, but as a Finn I see the US dick massaging on every other movie and series to a point that I don't think many Americans themselves even notice it anymore, and it rarely bothers me to the point I can't watch anymore.

Isn't Mazda named after the good god in Zoroastrianism? If not, I've been deluding myself for years, and it stings.

The Porsche comparison doesn't work. If Porsche wrote "Porsch" on the back of their cars, yes. But, unlike Mazda, Porsche does not do business under that name or validate that alternative pronunciation anywhere. Same goes with regard to Volkswagen and BMW. You don't have to say "Folxvahg'n" or "BayEmmVay," but…

Still seems unusual to me, at least for names that are straight-up Japanese like Honda and Nissan. Korean car brands are a lot simpler in that way; seems like the problem there was getting the Romanization right. Hyundai really should've been written Hyundae. Wasn't the old tagline that it "rhymes with Sunday"?

Do you mean that they write "Mazda", and not "Matsuda", and that they use katakana and not hiragana or kanji? Very strange.

While I'm no fan of it either, I'm not gonna complain about something finally being done to deal with trolls. I'm assuming those Make Money bots will get caught in this as well.

I vote for Two Lane Blacktop. It has that 70s style movie flair in that it's a little slow by today's standards, but its a great car movie.

I am not sure if I'm going to catch any flak for this, but I think that almost any car (except maybe spongy little cars like the 2CV) could become better with less power... and I'm not trying to dodge the question.

When you walk up to a Porsche owner and they are telling you about the brands storied past and how they have always been an innovator you can compliment them on how original being the first company to put a turbo on a car with a rear engined flat six. Oh wait, that was Chevy.

Not really mistreat but RX-8's engines blow up unless driven hard on a regular basis - Italian tune-up! All the ones with lost compression and eventual broken apex seals are ones that have been gently driven (likely not taken above 7000rpm at least once daily), thus allowing carbon to be built up. That, combined with…

As long as they mean early 70s, we're good. 70 and 71 were my favorite years for camaro looks. Much more so than the slab lines of the 60s camaros. These camaros to me actually *look* like a sports/pony car instead of looking like a biscayne or chevelle that got caught in a vice and squashed down a little.

Different missions, for certain, but this is still the high water mark for American car styling.http://image.motortrend.com/f/wot/happy-b-…

As with any race, but especially at Le Mans, if you can't finish the race it doesn't matter how fast you are.

So, long story short. The car's body was found rotting in a field. We have no idea how the car got from pre-war Germany to the US Midwest. We assume it involves a serviceman after the war. We figure that most of these cars were likely melted down and dropped on England during WWII.

We hill-climbed our 1934 Borgward Hansa 1100! Is that close enough?

Dear everyone,

First two digits of VIN are "JM" = J(apan) M(azda)

Drifters: still have shit for taste and a flawed understanding of color palettes and the preferred curvature of baseball hat brims, but also still doing cool shit.

Here's where the name came from. We wanted to call it 1600S, Japan wanted to call it RX-5. We said R means rotary, they said M means family car. We found an old high-German dictionary, and Miata meant "prize or reward." It fit.

It's not about power. If you can't go fast with 90 horsepower, 900 ain't gonna help ya. I genuinely feel that. - BH
