Given their current way of offering multiple engine+transmission configurations, I can see them offering the 2.5T with a manual in the Touring trim.

It looks like a chipmunk with nuts stored in its cheeks

Easily the current gen Prius. I know it’s irrational, but its styling genuinely offends me and makes me physically, and visibly, angry. I liked the previous generation as an unassuming car that was good at being a car without looking like it was trying too hard.

This is exactly why I haven’t upgraded my exhaust. Are aftermarket dual-stage exhausts a thing? My boss’ Corvette had it and he told how great it was to have loud on tap but quiet when cruising.

I thought I was the only one to think that it’s starting to look dated, still looks good, but those early ones look straight out of the 90's.

He made sure that his C5 was so clean that you would think it was a C6.

Are you talking looks or overall?

Sure, they’re a pretentious company for the sake of being pretentious, but in a way, I kind of like that they’re the company that can tell some dbag with money to beat it.

After getting the chance to drive a Z06 on the track and talking to some owners that actually drive their Corvettes, I can’t wait to own one to track and go on road trips with.

Took this road myself just last year, went through around 5-6pm so the sun was just right to make those canyon walls glow.

Actually just listened to an interview with one of the founders of Compaq. Before they came along, everyone had their own OS, with IBM being the largest market holder. Compaq reverse-engineered IBM’s OS and got it running on their own hardware.

Can it be painted?

I’ve had multiple dealerships ask me if I wanted certification on the vehicle I was interested in. The weird thing was they told me that the certification work was already done, I’d basically be paying for the “Certified” sticker and extended warranty. If they’ve already done the work and everything looks good, why…

Out of curiosity, when you test drove the 6, was it a manual? And if not, was it in Sport mode with TSC off? I ask because when I test drove the Accord (it was a CVT, which is mostly why I didn’t buy it), it felt lethargic.

I didn’t mean that Jalop readers are the ones buying or influencing cars companies; I meant that they (car enthusiasts) seem to be the only ones asking for more power from Mazda.

Jalop readers want more power in Mazdas. I would love more power in my Mazda6, but it’s more than adequate for everyday driving. Your average consumer usually buys that one that costs the least and gets the best gas mileage, just look at the Accord or Camry.

Here’s hoping everyone forgets what an R34 is when it becomes legal in about 7 years. Clean ones already go for $50K+ in other markets, I can’t imagine how much it’ll go up once it’s legal in the U.S.

I’m the only one in my 5 person family that drives a sedan. When gas was at its cheapest, I still went with the Mazda6 while my brother and sister both got Grand Cherokees. I really like the Durango, GC, and a CX-9, but I just couldn’t justify the extra cost of a. the extra gas and b. the extra purchase cost of…

As a bean counter, I hate how short sighted management, and investors in general, are. Ironic that the stereotypical question during interviews is “where do you see yourself in 5 years?” because they likely wouldn’t be able to answer their own question.

Are you suggesting that Paul Walker is the Dodge Dart of the Fast and Furious franchise?
