Interesting.
Indeed.

I don't care about the current market. Did you ever own a Mazda prior to your recently departed 6? If not, then I don't expect you to understand where I'm coming from.
That's probably because they are now concentrating on SUV's because that's what most people are buying. Over here, Nissan is now an SUV company. They have very small number of passenger vehicles in their range.
Thank goodness Mazda is avoiding CVTs
Infiniti is still sticking with RWD sedans and coupes. Good thing! But moving towards FWD CUVs... bad thing!
Yes, BK Series II Mazda 3. Noisy little vehicle but has some get up and go, handles not bad but is heavy on fuel

...And one is a full-on driver's car that stacks up well against Porsche 911s. Honda has the NSX. Toyota, the LFA, Mazda, who schooled 'em all the 1st time around with the RX-7 in the 90's, has nothing.
Something better come along soon or Mazda is going to end up like Mitsubishi now that the EVO is gone; selling FWD SUVs to people with bad credit until it fades away into obscurity like Isuzu did.
We need something that looks sleek and drives fast. Not everyone values sitting up high and lane assist more than good old driving dynamics.
And Mitsubishi would be long dead if it wasn't for their parent company Heavy Industries.
My VR4 could hit 120 mph in 3rd gear.
I sure hope so. It would be a shame to see Mazda fizzle out.
Speaking of which, check this out. No mention of Mazda anywhere. They're completely severed from Laguna Seca Raceway after 17 years. No announcement or explanation at all. Just *poof* (dunno)

Hell yeah. Galant? Those things were pretty mean. My '87 Starion ESi-R was a Dukes of Hazzard tire smokin' donut spinning beast! Until the transmission took a s***, it was one of the funnest cars I'd ever driven.

This is what Ford is becoming in the US
3000 GT VR4 bro!
(rockon)
Re-organising priorities perhaps (uhm)

What are the RX-7/8 folks going for now? How about the Speed3 and 6 folks? Nothing in the Mazda lineup for that.
