US Diesel's big splash introduction
- Thread starter Monterra
- Start date
People just want a fixed date of release
I'm sure they're likely jumping through the final EPA hoops and red tape and probably waiting in some obnoxious que for 'real world' testing which is why there isn't an official product launch date yet. Once they have that, they'll have a far better idea of when they can start building/shipping thousands of cars over for late 2017 or early 2018 purchasing.
People and their instant gratification...lol
Correct. It's basically government regulations that's holding it up
It would be very strange for it to have a single exhaust considering the rest of the world gets dual exhausts but it's not unheard of.

Now you just look silly. It's okay to fault Mazda every now and then. (yes)
Not silly. Just remembering past things which are similar
You could actually hook up to test equipment on stock pipes. So don't know reason why you would have 1 pipe unless it's going to be released that way (uhm)
With only 1 pipe you get half the exhaust, so half the emissions. (doh)
Therefore it's either:
- One pipe variant
- Two pipe variant but being tested as 1 pipe variant for emission reasons
- One pipe shown to throw us off
So if we know that and we know that Mazda was likely given a loose 'fall' time frame for testing and we're seeing what appears to be a test mule in...wait for it... fall and we were told late fall for P.R. 'launch' and late 2017 / early 2018 for delivery.... why does everybody still seem to be panicking and complaining of 'delays' and 'hold ups'?
Seems to me, everything's on pretty much the schedule we've been told for a while now...
Because we haven't heard s@#t from Mazda since May, and they've changed what's on their website by deleting stuff, without providing any information.
Plus, we are impatient and paranoid.
When Mazda allowed me to sign up for email updates, I assumed they'd actually occasionally provide some information.
maybe the new urea injection system/tank sits where the current dual exhaust muffler is?
People want answers aka proper communication.
Quite possibly this
When has anyone got that from any car company? (rlaugh)
Thanks for posting Kaps...^^this is exactly what I suspected and why should we not be encouraged by this Red? This by no means says its a lock but it does mean wheels (real ones with Yokohama tires) are turning! You could be right about this being a sky-x mule but I doubt it. However, I have zero doubt the fate and timing of our sky-d will and is at this point is in our government (and California's) hands. Screw California if you have to Mazda...please!
