    This good news for Mazda, thought I still do not see them as a stand alone player in the long run.

    Weird part is that everything I read on their web site really did not give me a clear picture of what SkyActive technology really is till I read this older story on it and now feel I have a good grasp on what this is all about.

    Masda really needs to change their marketing as their commercials leave one still wondering just what the hell is SkyActive technology?

    I figure if a gear head like me is left to search for better answers, how is my wife who watched the same commercials and asked what were they trying to sell me? A car or something else called SkyActive technology?

    That right there tells you their marketing is a failure.

    i think they will and deserve to. the miata is very important to the mazda image, but the failure of the mazda6 to sell over the last few years is what has really done mazda in. CX-5 is blasting out of showrooms. Mazda3 has a good track record. New Mazda6 needs to be a hit for Mazda to make out alright.

      On mine, there is a box on the lower right marked 'PARTS CONTENT INFORMATION'.

      This is weird that you do not have in the lower right hand corner the Part Content listing that is supposed to be there as it became a requirement in 1994. This is a failure from Ford / Lincoln if that is the original label. You can look up the part content by going here: Part 583 American Automobile Labeling Act Reports | NHTSA It is current but who knows for how long since Idiot47 and his Dark master Musk is destroying the U.S. Specifically for 2017 this is the complete list of all Auto makers: 2017_aala_alpha_year.pdf I find it weird that Ford list's it as 61% U.S. / Canada Content and blanks for where the rest comes from. In fact looking at this, Ford/Lincoln seems to do a terrible job of reporting their actual part content, but he did say on Fox News this week that Ford brings in about 40% of parts from across the globe for assembly in their auto's that they build in the U.S. and Canada. My EV9 which was one built in Korea is listed as 100% assembled in Korea, 95% parts from Korea and 4% parts from United States, 1% from China.  I suspect the 1% is the raw materials for the battery pack.

      A huge number of critical parts are imported, especially tech parts from places like Taiwan. Remember during covid all of the parking lots full of assembled vehicles awaiting parts because they couldn't be completed? I see something like this happening. As much as I make Noam Chomsky look like George W Bush, and as much as I $h! talk Washington and this country, I really would rather buy stuff made in the USA at the end of the day.  Maybe we will start building more stuff here. We will see. I am unsure, I was joking also. As a GM product, it is self disassembling, it does not need Chinese help. I joke I joke...but in every bit of sarcasm, a bit of truth... And then people bitch that their room wasn't cleaned when they had do not disturb on the door all day. Americans are not known for great intellect, at least not most of us. Carl Sagan and Niel Degrasse Tyson are notable exceptions.

      It's a GM car made with Chinese parts, those parts are probably already broken and ready to fall off. 🤣 I joke I joke What portion is it supposed to be in?
