    WOW, could you make this any more forgettable! I just do not get Honda's lack of design language or at least building something that will stick in a persons mind. Yet I am sure the ultra conservative people will love it.

    Great point, would love to get feedback from some of the stronger engine heads here on this also. Course very possible that GM did this on purpose to allow the 3rd party peeps to sell upgraded tuner chips that gets you 300HP and near 500lbs of torque.

    Actually this could very well happen as Cadillac pulls away to be more independent. There is nothing that says Corvette which is Chevy has to be the top supercar in the GM family. Cadillac is where this should happen and I can see it happening.

    This is why we have variety. I would have to put Chevy, Honda, Toyota, in this same bland forgettable design language. Glad so many here are happy with Mazda, I just do not find it appealing nor desirable. Now talk about GMC, they have some Awesome design language auto's. Terrain is a true standout that I hope in it's refresh keeps it's distinction. Back to Mazda, I admit I missed the point of having a control wheel for the screen which is what has removed all the buttons. So this does speak to 21century technology to try and simplify things. I hope it really works out as BMW and MB systems seem to be terrible IMHO.

    Awesome first initial response to driving the VOLT. Thank you!

    Now we know it is the ZR2

    Very Cool, Tell us how you like it or not, over all impressions on fit and finish and how it drives compared to your Cruze please.

    This is boring when they all look the same and no differentiation between models other than size. This is a Lazy mans way of just cookie cutter cars in Ultra Small, Small, Medium and that is it. To QUOTE: Put the CX3 next to the CX5 and you will be hard pressed to tell which is which other than size.

    H'mm it has LOST it's edge. I loved the original and the remake of this but now they just seem to keep curving out the lines and turning it into a Jelly Bean. Sad.

    That is what I call a SWEET TRUCK!!! OcnBlu will LOVE it! I would love an even beefier version like this for the GMC line and call it a Hummer edition!

    Love the Rear Spoiler, talk about some great down force at higher speeds. Over all very impressed with the auto. Just wish it would be big enough to fit Shrek comfortable enough for road trips. Still it should sell very well.

    Perfection to some I guess. Interior is Bland Boring and comes off as Cheap to me. The center stack looks like it is missing stuff. Exterior just does not work for me. Nice that they have a long hood deck but over all the product line all looks the same and just blends in with the auto industry trend of generic disposable appliances. I could not recommend Mazda to anyone. Bland, Boring un-inspiring!
  14. G. David Felt
    I like the interior much better than past models. Exterior is fine but blends in with every other CUV out there. Nice but does not stand apart from the pack.

    What a waste of time and money to show off a car they sell in Europe but will not bring here. The journalist should boycott them.
  16. G. David Felt
    Am I supposed to be Impressed? I honestly think there are far superior auto's out there for less money.

    Be interesting to see what happens in an accident with that 28,000 PSI Tank or that was the pressure they were using last time I read the details. I know they are now working on low pressure tanks that would be between 6000 and 10000 PSI, but it will be interesting. I find the Honda version funny as they state their auto will come with two 350 atmosphere tanks. Course guess that low number sounds better than 6000 PSI.

    So far based on info supplied I say Audi wins between these two systems. Interesting. I wish there was an update on GM and using the Google system.

    WOW still ugly as the first day it was shown. Surprised they are selling these cars. Wonder just how much Toyota is going to loose on each auto in the attempt to capture markets. The interior is just as ugly and how unsafe can you get for a dash that makes you have to change focus from looking straight ahead to looking 45 degrees to your right. Poor interior design, I question the safety of this auto design. As they say Strange Time we Live In!

    And like most MB owners could not park worth a darn. How do people not pull into the parking spot, then straighten out for less door dings, easier backing out when leaving, etc. Just screams, look at my PHAT Ass and I think I am better than you. Ugly, Ugly Car.

    Not impressed, over priced ford auto's badged as Lincolns that will not justify the label or so called service. Yes I know some will take me to task saying they look nothing like the Fords, but you can clearly see that they are fords and even the interiors showed it. At the Seattle auto show I was shocked at how tight even the full size SUV was so not for big people.
  22. G. David Felt
    We'll Nice looking car but it reminds me of a Fish. Interior especially the center stack looks FAT, pathetic little screen on what I assume is the radio. Stupid Plastic circle vents showing the cheap side of Ford. Nice but I would not waste money on the car. Actually disappointed in FORD and how they continue to keep with a cheap looking dash.

    Interesting, so the holy grail of Land Rover has the ability in the DNA but you are not granted permission to really go off road and use it. Kinda goes with how 99% of them never leave the assphalt so they never really can prove they can handle the off road. Guess they see value like GMC does in building products that can compete with a Rubicon Wrangler.

    Interesting engine, Since the Pistons are not at a 90 to each other then this is not a V8 engine but a Flat 8 engine based on the info they supplied. Makes the engine sound very wide but low top. Any pictures of this new Flat 8 Engine? The pictures really do nothing for the auto, be cool to see real pictures of this car and especially the power train. Any idea of what the Transmission will be in this auto?

    G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Zero Emission Auto's, are they truly Greener than Gas? Many people here know me as a CNG person. Some will say electric is greener than CNG and Gas. We know CNG is cleaner than GAS, but is pure electric truly greener than CNG or gas? I have talked about how much CO2 is produced during the battery building stage for these pure electric cars. I have also pointed out that in places where Coal is used for creating energy, electric is dirty compared to CNG or Gas. Yes living in the Pacific Northwest, Washington has an abundance of Hydro and wind power, so Electric cars are very green. Even in the south, Southwest where solar is a huge factor, electric is pretty green. Yet once you move to the Midwest and East-coast, Electric auto's become far dirtier than normal gas powered auto's and CNG or Hybrids like the Chevy VOLT are cleaner than electric auto's. Yes you have nuclear in select areas but even than you have the waste from these plants that cause issues. So then are Zero Emission Auto's truly the Green Dream for everyone? Lucky for me, the LA Times finally did a research piece on just this thing and after looking at the history or power use and places that electric cars have been used came to the same conclusion I did that depending on how the electricity is generated, electric auto's can be cleaner or dirtier than gas, cng or hybrid auto's. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-1117-graff-electric-cars-policy-20141114-story.html 1) The story says by 2019 or half a decade, electric auto's will outsell the Toyota Camry. 2) The story says sales will only grow as long as the $7500 fed subsidy is in place for now. 3) Green all depends on where the electricity comes from. 4) EPA has doubled the fuel MPG by 2025. 5) EPA is developing a clean power plan for electricity production. 6) 100 years ago, electric auto's were the dominate product which was replaced by gas and now it coming full circle to be a dominate player. 7) This is a major push all due to Climate Change. Sound off, do you agree with what is stated here? Yes or No Where do you see electric auto's fitting in? Is there a valid reason to go CNG or Hybrid over electric? Is range anxiety a valid reason or just an excuse? What are your thoughts on a logical progression for the auto industry for powertrains?
