Based on reading this, I believe the Mazda Diesel will never happen in the use now that the CX5 Diesel had one year of sales and was killed. While as the story says they have it as a future model on the web site, I doubt the Diesel 6 will ever come to America. Diesel is dead as a need for cars, trucks or CUV/SUV auto sales out side of traditional full size truck sales for trailer pulling. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-mazda-6-diesel-details-update/

Considering your profile does not say where you live, one cannot understand where your coming from. Clearly here on the west coast, the desire for EVs far out weights ICE and lots of people are waiting for selection of Choice. Newly built homes, condo's and even apartments all have charging built in. The West Coast Super highway, Highway I5 has chargers everywhere as do the cities and now we have the power companies starting to install on the smaller state freeways and roads to ensure plenty of choice for charging. I would say it depends on where you live and the attitude of the multi-cultural society as people on the west coast have clearly embraced EVs. Yes I have only ICE as I await full size SUV/Trucks that are EV to purchase.

I know that in my household, there will not ever be another new ICE auto. Wife and I will stay with our 1994 GMC SLE Suburban in conversion to Electric. 2006 Escalade ESV ICE and 2008 Trailblazer SS. Daughter is holding onto her 1999 Dodge Durango and my son did buy out his lease on his 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Everyone is waiting for EVs to come out to replace the ICE with. We are not the Jones Jones race people that is for sure. After all this 5 auto family has 27, 21, 14, 12 and of course 4 year old auto's with the son having the youngest auto.

So small, hard for anyone over the average 5'8" tall to get into. Subaru is built for tiny people. Good cars, but built for tiny people.

Loving the new 2020 Ram Heavy Duty Black edition truck. Black Chrome really sets this right! This looks so far classier than the current butt ugly Chevrolet trucks.

This is one truck that will continue to sell to the Toyota Faithful. Otherwise it is a totally forgettable truck.

I think the Hummer by GMC and the rest of the EV line up will prove to be very desirable. An auto that has passion with less required maintenance will serve people well. Excited for what is coming and willing to give Mary a chance to prove everyone wrong about passion for auto's. If they do not deliver with quality exterior / interior EVs, than I would agree with you that it is time for new leadership.

Best thing about the Chevy Spark was the funny twins in Transformers, otherwise a totally forgettable appliance.

Fiber optic Internet, fastest out there.

Cool old auto today. No idea what they are though.

Here is what the Cadillac Catera SHOULD have been. It could be yours as it is up for auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-cadillac-catera-2/

I can totally understand that. I used to do that also, but then found slow response from our Durham Datacenter to my needs and my boss asked me if I could change anything what would I change. I said, 2 30" 4K monitors, docking station and a workstation class laptop with 64GB ram and SSD drives. I got it more or less. My laptop is a Dell Precision 5540 with 32GB ram, 4TB NvME HD, Touchscreen with pen, windows 10 64bit, enhanced docking station a USB C charging ports and wireless pad, natural keyboard and wireless mouse. Now I am set to never leave my house for work again. I also got to take my expensive custom office chair and standing desk from our Seattle office.

Building virtual training vApps for our products, I usually upload to my vSphere setup images that run between 500GB to 1 TB in size, so upload I use as heavily as download. I know I am an exception to what most people do. I know the wife already notices a difference in watching her shows on netflix, VUDU, Hulu, YouTubeTV. Have to say that it is much cheaper having these streaming services with internet than using the Fios TV I used to have on FIOS Internet. Was usualy betwen $200 to 300 a month. So happy to be down to about $150 a month for everything. Ziply is who bought out the PNW Frontier FIOS business and is investing heavy to take it to the bleeding edge. Liking what I see so far.

Ziply Fiber is upgrading Washington state to be Gigabit plus internet service. I just got my new ONT, UPS and Router installed. They said by the end of next month I should be able to get a solid 1000/1000 upload and download, but for now, I have near Gig download and upload is ok for now. Went from $127 a month to $60 a month for Giga speed. Nice!!!

Just like reverse swirl on the toilets' then. This makes me wonder about the 1 ton Toyota mini pickups in the 80's if they really could handle the weight. Kind like being named David Felt. I felt you..... So many felt jokes growing up.

Good question, but one that Ford has yet to explain in the design of 4 motors in the back and 3 motors in the front. Might be packaging into a small space versus a bigger motor.

Interesting to learn that Ford had a Mini Ute down under that ran a long life unlike here in the US. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/07/rare-rides-a-1995-ford-falcon-xr6-ute-trucking-with-tickford/

Ford is taking a 1,400 HP Mach E with 7 motors to Nascar to show off what EVs can do. This purpose built concept has an actual hydrolic brake handle to allow drifting in the auto where it disengages the rear 4 motors allowing ultimate drift capability. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128939_ford-is-taking-a-seven-motor-1400-hp-mustang-mach-e-to-a-nascar-race https://electrek.co/2020/07/21/ford-unveils-one-off-1400-hp-mach-e-a-driftable-suv-with-7-electric-motors/

Is Tesla in Trouble in China? BYD just released their Luxury 4 door EV sedan to compete against Tesla S and it is blowing away the public and orders exceed production right now. How is this possible? BYD has delivered their luxury sedan starting at $40,000 which includes real wood panels, nappa leather upholstery and aluminum trim. It comes standard with 11 airbags, six cameras, Air purification Hepa filters, 5G connectibity and DiPilot driver assist while delivering a world class leading coefficient of drag of just 0.22. The battery pack is good for 314 miles. Curb weight is 4,400 lbs, 196 inches long, 75.2 inches wide and 59.9 inches high and rides on a 115 inch wheelbase. On top of this, they give you a choice on the orientation of their middle major screen. You can have it in Portrait mode or Landscape mode. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128931_byd-han-ev-luxury-sedan-arrives-in-china-tesla-model-s-sized-about-40k For comparison here is the current 2020 Tesla S from their web site. I will say the 2020 is better and finally updated, but I think BYD has them.
