Its kinda funny. This is the antithesis of current Mazda design. Mazda wants as few pinched lines as possible, and wants to create depth and dimension through curved panels; Hyundai wants to create depth and dimension via geometric hard pinched and sliced lines.

If I squeeze my way into the auto industry, I vow to over step my bounds and nudge whoever is on my team or in control of this decision within the department until they:
A. Fire me
B. Quit Themselves
C. Successfully design around front plate syndrome or ship with sexy offset front plate brackets.

Mmmm... Fiberglass gokarts :)

I was 6 years old when I started playing Gran Turismo on PS1. I remember my dad helping me through the license tests and staying focused, but ignoring the things that stressed me out (watching the dwindling time remaining for _x license challenge). I played most of the other popular racing titles, but it has always…

I think you’re right. I was just comparing it to something I remember about the RX’s. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to have it on high horsepower machines like these, though. 

This was also a permanent and adaptive feature on the S.2 RX-8. Cold power train temps forced a few increasing redlines, until everything was at proper operating temperature to prevent warping of the engine’s shell. Left unmanaged, improper temperature change could and would lead warping, causing the increased wear…

Foating screens are not bad. Built in screen systems look worse and usually create worse placement for HVAC controls. Floating screens need to be looked at like a laptop display or mounted tv. The stigma is bad. Having the screen float puts in it good visual space.

Dual driver Octane? Tag Team Rocket League? Love it either way. 

My guess is that they’ll be applying the more confusing “blackwing" moniker to the higher performance versions of these cars, if they are actually in the works. Cadillac seems to like changing the way they name their products a lot recently, besides the consistent V badge; but hey, that’s the one thing they haven’t…

Wasn't a scam. My mother just purchased a new 18 GT Hatch and both dealerships we went through set up the incentives clearly and without covering up anything. Both dealerships were pleasant to work with, but only one had the appropriate model in stock on their lot and ready to go, so that's the only reason why we went…

Looks like it'll be a Veloster based CUV. Profile isn't bad though. I'd be interested to see if it's just a design concept or a prototype vehicle. 

This could happen if it was marketed for luxury cab type services; like the decked out mercedes vans that are here in the US.

The dash looks oddly barren and cheap. 

Q: How does everyday driving, spirited driving feel now that it’s moved to its specialized torsion rear end?

That entire front clip looks quite a bit better than the model x. 

If he could have somehow completed a rear drive conversion on the modded setup, I think it would have been less lethal. Something would definitely needed to have been beefed up up front to help stabilize the front end, though. I think even with a rear drive swap, it may need to have had a more solid, if not full solid…

It seems that you either love the design or hate it. I haven’t seen to many people indifferent about it. Everyone has an opinion on it, which is something at least. I’m personally a huge fan of it; it being in my eyes one of the best Mazda designs to date. 

I might not be able to explain it well, but I love the profile of this thing. It's weird and is slightly off, but it's also very coupe like and has this odd beauty to the shape. I'd be all over this if I needed to replace my Gen 2 mz3. 

I actually love this new rear so far. I like the giant C pillar, as it gives the side silhouette more of a coupe appearance. Visibility might hurt though. The shaping of the 3/4 view and full rear view is a little unordinary, but looks like its executed very well.

Miata RF plus Snow Tires for crappy, snowy Mt. Pleasant roads.
