    Rumorpile: Mazda's Long-Awaited Diesel Is Coming Next Year

      The never ending Mazda diesel for the U.S. story may be closing

    We have been reporting on the saga that is Mazda's SkyActiv-D for the U.S. since the company announced it back in 2012. But it seems there is a closing to this long story.

    The Nikkei Asian Review has learned from sources that Mazda will be launching the diesel option for the U.S. next year. Sources explained that the company had finally cleared environmental regulations in the U.S. As we have reported previously, Mazda was having issues with their engines not making the power they wanted when they met regulations. It seems odd that Mazda is still going forward with their diesel plans in light of the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal. But the company, like GM believes there is still a market for it.

    The sources go on to say that Mazda will announce their diesel plans this week at the LA Auto Show. Considering that the company will be unveiling a new CX-5 at the show, we wouldn't be surprised if this is the first model to get it. This will be followed up by the Mazda6.

    • I dont like how Lamborghini did their "new" retro Countach.  It sucks.  I dont like how Ferrari is going to do THEIR "new" retro 849 Testarossa.  Its not a bad looker.  Better than the new Countach.  But I feels like both Ferrari and Lambo need not name their new models with name plates from their past. No need to. Both Ferrari and Lambo always were amongst the sexiest cars on the planet in their time. With new designs and names. So why go retro?  With that being said, the ONLY model that I wished Lamborghini had done and brought out was the 'new' retro Miura a couple of decades back.  It was stunning.

    • Work is keeping me busy, too busy to write up press releases, here is the new 2026 Nissan Sentra, talk about blah and boring. Nissan unveils the all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra in the U.S. Seamless connectivity with class-leading available dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Sporty SR grade headlined by 18-inch wheels, blacked-out trim, ambient lighting and rear spoiler Sentra offers outstanding value with high level of available features, including the reintroduction of premium SL grade Confidence for every drive with available ProPILOT Assist and Blind Spot Intervention The all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra builds on a proven and reliable powertrain to deliver a dynamic, yet efficient driving experience. Under the hood is a standard 2.0-liter inline-four engine rated for 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Sentra has standard idle stop/start to help save gas in city driving. The engine is paired with a proven Xtronic CVT that delivered confident performance in Sentra for several years. The CVT has been retuned for the 2026 model year to deliver a more natural, smooth acceleration feel. A new Sport drive mode (except S grade) was tuned in the U.S. for sharper throttle responses and more thrilling shifting patterns that help give the car a sporty feel. Precision engineering throughout the vehicle makes Sentra more enjoyable to drive, while also being even quieter and more comfortable than the outgoing model. Sentra features an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, and standard rear disc brakes for confident braking performance. Thanks to significant reinforcement of the unibody, the all-new Sentra has 6% greater rigidity than its predecessor. The steering wheel features an enlarged dynamic damper that effectively reduces road vibrations, ensuring a more composed driving experience. New shock absorber valving helps better mute impact harshness from bumps. Finally, engineers reduced the size of body openings throughout the vehicle to help reduce sound levels. EPA fuel economy estimates will be announced at a later date. OUCH Ford’s Record-Breaking Recall Year Continues: 115,000 Trucks Pulled Over Steering Wheel Issue
