I like Mazda, though. Niche vehicles though they are. Mazda would impress me with a proper RX-7, especially if it's based on the Furai.

To me the rx-8 would have been great if they had an option to put the mazdaspeed 3 motor in it, dreaming I know. Hopefully they don't **** up the rx-9. I'm glad to hear the Mazda reps say that the rx-9 is going to be what the rx-7's successor should have been.

Mazda started in 1920, in 1979 Ford bought 7 percent of the company gradually going up to 33 percent over the next couple of decades. Then Ford sold off most of it's shares and now owns about 3%.

There is only one pure tier 1 car......the 2004 1/2 350Z with Miata doors.....everyone knows that!

I have not seen it featured in a rap music video yet. It cannot qualify.

at 18 month of ownership on my 370Z, OTHER than the oil consumption problem that lead to its lemoning, everything was perfect...quiet, no rattles, smooth, power was always there....mod friendly...the ART pipes really woke this car up....

I did have the intermittent throttle lag problem though
