    do you say that of opinion or because of the infrastructure?

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-mazda-3-sedan-hatchback-photos-info just the 2.5L will be offered in the US till the 2.0-X comes. 2.5L slightly upgraded to 188hp&ft-lbs. found this info elsewhere... i'l try to find it
  3. loki
    just another probable point that the EPA cycle doesn't do a good job of showing real world gas use. and another that any company can claim the cycles aren't representative.

    I liked how the sky looked more than the solstice. and compared to the miata.... driving dynamics would play a part in that decision
  5. loki
    perhaps, but they have a turbo cx-5 coming, and the skyactiv-x engine around the corner. rumor has it the 3 and the cx-3 will get the 2.0 x. it will be interesting what the market will do with these products...when they hit lots.

    it'll be a steal with how efficient it is. /s
  7. loki
    mr2 with the 2L that has ~160hp. coo!
  8. loki
    i miss dwight's topics like this.
  9. loki
    just the powertrain, if upgraded to the same as the corolla, would be a huge upgrade as far as driving and efficiency.

    ah, that makes it clear. i don't understand how this would work since it's directed at auto manufacturers and not directly at china, or it's exports, but we do keep hearing that Chinese brands want to export to here, sometime in the near future.

    do you mean through direct taxes, indirect taxes or that their refineries are state owned? not that i agree with subsidizing these things, but i generally think that as wealth increases and production and tech ramps up with better and more batteries, EV's have to get more prevalent.

    any/everything is in the national security interest. /s is the just a tit for tat policy @Drew Dowdell? is that why you support this?
  13. loki
    i wonder if the mx-5 sales were affected by the news of the '19's hp increase.
  14. loki
    but how much RGB will it come with?!😅
  15. loki
    more so with the 'nox diesel. it'll be interesting if mazda puts the x engine in the CX-3 soon. 29 city / 34 highway now , but add ~25% makes it ~35/43 This will be why the small CUV/Crossovers(?) may continue to dominate even in $3.50+ gas prices

    would be interesting to see some $/mile for vehicle categories,brands,industry average over, idk, quarterly timescale. it feels like the last 10 years big jumps have happened in all but the biggest SUV/truck groups.

    helping the earth, one human at a time....? j/k
  18. loki
    i nearly hit one a few months ago on a road barely lit and no side walk... admittedly i was also a tad distracted.
  19. loki
    just gonna add night joggers and such. sometimes its more the pedestrian being visible before having to swerve/slam on the brakes.

    nice OCN, depending on weight and gearing, that might make it kinda sporty with the manual. will the next ~5years get us to a new "golden age of engines"?
  21. loki
    are you exited for the mazda SPCCI engine?!
  22. loki
    i skimmed it. decent diet it went on. what are active roll bars?
  23. loki
    power handling of the CVT is unknown, right? best way to estimate it would be base it off the camry's engine(s), let's average the eco and "normal engine" performance to =~190HP from a 2.5L. a 2.0L could produce more like 152HP. not far off. /remindme when real specs for it are released. interior does look class competitive. mostly simple/straight forward. i wonder what the base will look like. exterior looks euro/scion/camry derived... mostly on the ugly side. this makes me glad the sedan market is shrinking.
  24. loki
    why not return to it's roots and use the new VC turbo engine and make another...260(ish)Z?
  25. loki
    with high grade gas, make the same power(~1%) but mazda has like ~15% more torques. the 6 is slightly lighter for the '17 6 to the '18 accord. The tuning and transmission will be the deciding factors for FAST!
