    More information about "Mazda to Show First EV in Tokyo"
    Mazda currently has no EVs or Hybrids in its stable of vehicles, but that will start to change next month at the Tokyo Auto Show when Mazda unveils its first EV meant for production. Mazda recently announced that it will put a fully electric vehicle into production in 2020 and a plug-in hybrid following later. The plug-in will use a small rotary engine to recharge the battery on the go. What we don't know yet is what type of EV Mazda will be producing. If it is a small hatchback, we can chalk the potential sales up as "not many". The test mule that Mazda is using has been the new CX-30 with a 35.5 kWh battery and an electric motor good for 141 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft of torque. That battery pack is considerably smaller than the 64 kWh unit the Hyundai Kona uses in North America. Mazda says that the vehicle will not be based on any of their current lineup, but instead will be all new. It is possible that North America only gets the range extended version due to longer drives on this continent.

    The manufacturer of the site software is supposed to be coming out with an app in the next version, but it will only cover the forums.

    Would you use an App for C&G if we had one?

    Did they do much leasing back then? I always had the impression that was something that gained popularity in the 80s

    heh, you're like me and like big and comfortable.

    The interiors of these things just feel ooooold to me. I want to like the package, but it go out dated quickly.

    Still shouldn't be making excuses for brake failures. Look how many people actually had issues with the GM key thing in relation to how many cars were sold.

    Consulting must be doing very well for you this year.

    Whoops, Car and Driver got that wrong. We all make mistakes.

    I don't drive to work anymore, but somehow we're still averaging 16,000 miles a year.

    You also really don't have any place to go from a Duramax

    The GLC is RWD.

    It's not going to fool anyone, but it's a pretty cool conversion.

    ^^ What happened to the rest of the car?

    Since I'm going to be in the market soon, it might change up what I buy. I only go to the office twice a week, so my commute miles don't matter much and I can use a bus.

    Gas is $2.69 a gallon here. IF it went to 5.38 a gallon, what would you do with your daily driver?

    What people want is a three pointed star... doesn't matter if the car behind it is a fake benz.

    My choice of these three would be the S60 because I favor comfort over raw sportiness. The Genesis would be my second choice with the Audi a distant third. The Cadillac CT4 could eventually be an option once pricing is released.

    It's a big fat "who cares?!" I personally think the XT5 is performing poorly in sales for two reasons. 1. they made it ugly. 2. GM (again) got greedy with the option prices. The old SRX did perfectly fine in sales because it was attractive.

    I changed the oil in the Toronado using an oil filter given to me by @balthazar. Now she's good for another 10 months to a year.
