Mom likes the new Versa. It's not time to turn in her Forte for another year.

I find the high-pitched sound of a Mazda Skyactiv engine offputting when it is in cold idle mode. Have you noticed the shrill tone on cold start-up, or is it just me?

Yes but rather than dilute the Murano name, the EV version will be called the Morono. -
Controversial! Manual Transmissions are Over-Rated
ocnblu replied to Anthony Fongaro's topic in Opinion
I prefer manual transmissions and greatly miss that aspect of driving my previous vehicle, a moderately underpowered Jeep Compass. My current vehicle has an 8-speed automatic and has a hard time figuring out what gear it needs to be in from time to time. This would never happen if I could positively select my own gears. I would love the option of a 6-speed manual in the Chevy Colorado with the V6 and four wheel drive. Toyota and Nissan still offer them, but there is no way I would buy one. As far as Europeans go, I envy them for a couple of aspects of their automotive landscape: Manuals are still prevalent in mainstream vehicles, diesels are still available, and smaller vehicles are not viewed as penalty boxes. Also, Europeans are not yet afraid to be fanciful in design. In America, automotive choices disappear every year. There is a sameness to everything because everyone is trying to chase the same customer, apparently. This will only careen further south as more EV are forced onto the market, looking for buyers who do not exist. Sad state. -

Needs a waterfall grille mesh. Needs some sort of ventiports. And an Estate version would be a nice option, with woodgrain exterior trim. -

This reminds me of that old cop show intro when they're on the shooting range and the target suffers so many hits to the heart it ends up with like a 32 inch hole where its chest USED to be. Your name is henceforth Sniper Balthy.

Designed at a time of optimism. Now, with all the oppressive regulations, design is an afterthought. Design is "taboo", except on rare occasions. Too much "safety", not enough daring.
