But but but that front grill!

same stupid "smile" front end and .2 displacement?

Sorry mazda, I think a bunch of guys have already jumped ship

still fail-wheel-drive...possibly awd, not all that promising lol

You mean LS in a ND...

Well, lets just see if its 300hp and awd :p

I'm with the rest of you though. Lol

lmao their source is motoring.au

Might as well be an article about someone seeing Elvis at a Route 66 gas station.

Turbocharging directly contradicts Mazda's SkyActiv approach to efficiency, it'd be big news if all of a sudden Mazda slapped a turbo on their 2.5L

The least you could do when posting rumors is pick a new one, here's the same thing from last year:

Oh look here's that theoretical 2.5L Turbo mentioned along with a 450hp wankel:

It will be nice if it has AWD. :D

Don't know why folks hate on FWD but get hard for AWD when it comes to performance. I've been on track with a number of AWD vehicles and they all perform on track identically to FWD cars, some even worse. Understeer on entry, understeer on exit. Meanwhile extra HP is lost to that additional drivetrain.

Ripping through the snow with a ski-rack on top, now that's a different story but on a race track I'd rather have FWD or RWD over AWD.

Every time I see a new Mazda it is always "nice rear, nice roofline, nice profile, nice front fenders, SHIT it is still smiling at me"!

I think they've fixed that with the latest gen though.

The current 3 and 6 are some of the best looking cars in their respective classes.

I've never purchased a vehicle saying "not bad". That what I feel with Mazda's lately. The company died with the FD in my mind. Same direction Mitsubishi is going. It will end with the last Evo X.

Better. Yes by far.

Still off a bit. Yes as well

Every time I think back to my fwd, I remember spinning to 90mph.

Or hitting the gas going 60mph, on dry ground, and spinning.

I LOVED the car (srt4) but fwd can be frustrating. And yes, I realize with enough power rwd/awd can have traction issues too, but by that point...

Theres a reason no performance car is fwd.

I just wouldn't buy a brand new, "performance" oriented vehicle that was fwd. Just too much sadness.

:laughabove:
Somebody forgot to tell Nissan about that.

Now I think these guys had a RWD car.. or may it wasn't.. I don't know they were pretty ambiguous about that. :D
