And that is the auto tranny...If Mazda can deliver on the Skyactiv chassis and suspension, like they have with the engine and transmission, then Toyota and Subaru are going to have to do more than just cut the top off the twins if they plan on selling any roadsters!

yeah we have been asking for it since 89. it isnt going to happen. i almost bought a skyactiv 3 but decided that i dont care about money because my commute would kill me so i went with the ls430 instead. dont let the auto thing fool you. its using a direct transfer so you dont lose any power at speeds. but back to the point...i dont think a company in the world can go toe to toe with mazda when it comes to the classic roadster formula
