Did Mazda shoot themselves in the foot w/ill-conceived "2014" model year designation?
So Hiroshima ran with the 2013 offering for, what, 9 months of 2012, shuffled the powertrain offering and tweaked the infotainment system at the beginning of CY 2013 and called it the 2014 model. Wouldn't it have made a helluva lot more sense to call it the 2013.5 model and, BTW, what are they going to do when October rolls around and they drop the 2.0 altogether and add the diesel as an option? Call it the 2015 model and run with that for all of 2014? It's hard to imagine a way out of this mistake; or am I missing something?(uhm)
