I could not care one bit, how about how they drive? Any updates to the powertrains? I can easily live without all this infotainment crap.

Still, glad they put in something everyone was asking for.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Only $445 to complete the upgrade, I'd gladly pay that to get Android Auto installed in my UConnect system in the JGC.

Yeah, I'd happily pay that for AA. I've looked into adding an MIB 2 unit to the golf that will have CP and AA.  It's about $2k.  At that price I'll use a phone mount.

I would prefer a good infotainment, but mostly just for navigation purposes and listening to the music.

I am okay with whatever they have in the new Miata. I can also live with my RX-8's technology.

Do you not know the upcoming Skyactiv-X? That's their next big thing.

Mazda's idea is that they want to squeeze everything out of the ICE technology before moving onto EV.

Next thing they need to do is provide a screen with more pixels. It's fuzzy-wuzzy time all the time. Still, adding the obvious makes sense.
