No one also rates electric efficiency based on energy consumption and real production cost. The e-mpg is a fucking joke

Didn't mean to pick on Mazda Aaron, but truly there are NO winners anymore.

I am pretty much scared by anything imported these days. Seeing the corner cutting at Toyota, Honda and Subbie makes me sick.

 

Oh no, not at all, a little Japanese manufacturor with a very limited line up, should be getting its doors blown off by GM.  But yet, so much of GM seems to be filled with recalls and outsourcing now and little ole' Mazda is making lots of forward progress in their limited models selection.  As for new vehicles, I don't even consider them anymore.  I have been a Mercedes person from day one, through the years in the family, there have been far more Mercedes than any other.  But, to clarify that, they are all older "don't make 'em like the used to" Mercedes.  I am a bit spooked by the amount of complexity of new Mercedes.  My Mazda bias is due a lot to their simplicity and lack of shit to go wrong, making them reliable and easy to work on/modify.

 

Was it Mazda that is coming out with the 550+ horsepower electric car? I seen a add a while back I might be thinking of something else.I believe it had 3 motors..Idk

 

Not that I know of.  They have not done much with alternative propulsion and are choosing to optimize gas/diesel though very high compression, making the cars more affordable, easier to own for all, and less heavy than electric cars.

If you can't find any current drivers that will support you needs let me know and I can probably send you in the right direction for some third parties..

Mild- 75/25

Jared- sick truck!! Don't forget to put womething on the ends so the bar cant escape and make you fall.
