Topic: New Rules for December 18...

#7 All threads are Mazda threads regardless of the topic.

i thought it was the opposite. All threads were about the Corolla and Camry.

I feel like Mazda recently has been understated.
ie
Mazda - most fuel efficient-automaker (3 years in a row)
http://green.autoblog.com/2013/12/17/epa-says-mazda-most-fuel-efficient-automaker/
(albeit its a little awkward since Mazda has no hybrids but also does not have any trucks either)

IIHS
Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 are all Top Safety Picks+
small overlap plus some form of front crash preventions
(more than Toyota and tied with Subaru)
http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/TSP-List

Edmunds.com state how much they love their long-term CX-5 tester even saying it as a class leader yet only give it a B while the CR-V has an A.

http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/cx-5/2014/rating-details.html?sub=suv

and the already stated
Mazda3 Autoguide car of the year
http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2013/12/autoguide-com-2014-car-year-award-winner-2014-mazda3.html

The three 2014 AJAC awards.

Winning comparisons in
autos.ca for the Mazda3 (vs other compacts) and CX-5 (vs other compact CUVs)
winning comparisons in
autoguide.com for the Mazda6 (vs other midsize sedans)

And yet I don't think people are talking "much" about Mazda... (except for me and a few others)
Mazda still doing poorly "sales wise) in the states.

I cant understand how the CX-5 has worst depreciation compared to a RAV4, Forester 2.5 or an Escape.

No recalls AFAIK with the CX-5 and the Escape already has a few.

I feel like Mazda is like the Edmonton Oilers right now.
All this elite stars but can't get the win (sales).

Yea, I don't find the award terribly surprising for fuel economy.  What...1 engine over 200HP?  2 if we count the Speed3? 1 V6?  No V8?  No full size trucks? No full size cars, etc.  Good thing the RX-8 isn't being made anyone..that would sure drop their average MPG down a ton!   


But yea...not sure why nobody cares about Mazda....at least enough to buy them.  You have any insight on this?

What I find impressive is Honda at 27 avg with a fairly large SUV, a pick up truck and hardly any hybrids to lower their numbers.

This thread proves it.

So far this thread is only lacking any mention of diesel manual wagons with AWD.. For $19k

#6.  Go ahead and be ignorant of where cars and their parts are made. If the other guy isn't buying from Ford/GM/Chryco, he's most likely a commie!

Don't forget...Chryco 100% foreign owned...

Sacrilege... trolls don't concern themselves with such things!
