    I sometimes use mine(mazda 6), but mostly to get my bearings and to use a reference of how long or how far to places. my updates are like ~$90 for , 4?, updates a year or like $50 for 1 update. i still use a garmin sometimes with lifetime free updates. i usually only do this when i don't have a passenger and i know the route is close enough.

    Regal is the only nameplate that has a lot of history... is this good or bad? Lacrosse has history since....2006? 2005MY, so close. I really will be surprised if they make a v6 wagon for the US, but this is the 2nd time this rumor has come up. Will Tourx start being called torx? or should it be Tour-X... Taurus-X i'm seeing a fail with this name. And with the honda crosstour, that is an ugly vehicle, hopefully it's not like that.

    So when will Buick also have the GS sub-brand? Or why don't they use the "special" moniker again? Not that Avenir sounds bad, but yes, it's just an option to raise buicks status and potential sale price... this seems like lincoln trying to be raised to cadi status.

    of the pictures,... the hide behind the hvac controls is great. if they are all digital this makes perfect sense.

    i just got a nexus 5x for ~$240 from Jet.com. waiting on my nano sim that should be in tomorrow and then retiring my nexus 5 from phone duty. the 5x is very nice, but i still need to find some kind of case, then also find at least some QC2.0 chargers though i might just buy 3.0 for future readiness....

    mobo is an asus sabertooth. AM3+, phenom2 x6 1100T video is a saphire 7850 case is an antec 300 with 2 120 mm fans in the front push, and the 2 that came with it, 1 120 and 1 140 set to pull. 2 hhd. one WD black 0.6TB, one seagate 1TB dual samsung 1080 via DVI monitors from ~2012?

    as another reference, my Mazda6 pretty much has the same torque peak as my 99 MC had, but at 750RPM lower, and about the same weight (~200lbs) as the MC I don't remember really timing my MC to 60 might have been 9-10 seconds. the mazda is probably mid 7s. this is why i was always curious about GM upgrading a low 3L v6 with a 6speed, not only for performance, but also economy. While a 200 HP engine is nice, gearing and torque is certainly more important.

    i've not had any issues with my AMD builds, if you have, that's too bad. and your issues have seemed to deem AMD parts, junk. why would i change platforms that would cost me $200+ when i could upgrade to a newer chip, and possibly have more money than i started with, like Frogger gets. I guess i was asking for a good reason not to do this, but i wasn't asking if i should go to INTEL... I am interested in ZEN, but that's not out for awhile longer and not part of this debate.

    you 2 just don't get it. lol.

    drew, just speculation.. but do you think the 4.3L will go away by 2020?

    So right now i have an AM3 system with a phenom II x6 1100T. this could go for ~$120 on ebay. Newegg has a FX-8320 for ~$150 with a Deus Ex: Mankind Divded voucher, (worth ~$60). My Mobo is an asus sabertooth AM3+ with the last bios update so it's compatible... do you think it's worth making the plunge? would you do it? i'd plan to sell the voucher... if i did... any takers?

    i have a HD7850... getting an RX 470 or the like is quite tempting after they come out.. even a RX 460 could basically be a side grade and lower my kW/h. but i don't have W10 on this one. i have a kaveri box (A8-7600) that i use as a HTPC with linux.i have no cares about virus and such on it... seemed it had ransom ware on it one time, reset the pc, and it hasn't shown up again. but if it does, i';ll just wipe it and fresh install linux again. could put a RX 460 in that thing so if i ever get a 4K or a HDR TV it'd be able to look soooooo pretty! anyone else profit from the recent AMD stock upswing? if i had waited till nowish, i could have gained another ~$500

    i'm looking forward to the next nexus. my 5 has been a great phone, but my wifi stopped working ...~mid june. not sure if it's hardware or software, but haven't gotten the july security update. i know that caused some trouble. but also the 5x at ~$250 is tempting. this thread is almost a year old... looking forward to anything new? upgraded lately?

    supposedly the CX-4 and new ('17s) mazda3 and 6 will debut in china later this month. With the CX-9 not quite on the lots, this model would take a heavy hit. The mazda 5 really needs to be updated or discontinued. Is this pretty much the only MPV left, or does the ford connect/transit count? i think the worst thing about owning a mazda is the dealer network is sparse.

    I agree Reg.
