all I can say is WOW

Mazda seem to have come on leaps and bounds over the last few years! I guess congrats can go to the european (french) designer who penned it... together with the Mazda6 Toyota Yaris and the like... where has all the UK talent gone? We end up with a Pipe and Braces 'small' Jag... oh dear, no wonder Ford own (what was it....) 37% of Mazda, Jaguar Aston Martin, Volvo etc etc and still can't make a profit!!!

Just seen Top Gear, they had a concept Jaguar which looked very similar to the Mazda, same rear doors, similar dimensions, same roof rake.

Both jaguar and mazda are owned by Ford - funny that...............

Hit 8800rpm in my Primera last week. I reckon it'll hit 9000
(Standard too)

Cheers,

At about the same time as the pistons hit the bonnet?

Is that the eGT engine?

I found it very interesting that in Top Gear's survey the S2000 was the most reliable (but highest revving) sports car.

it dosen't have pistons it's a wankel engine

the only thing is it's not as quick as the rx7

Maybe I'm missing something again..

Yup. I take it past 8000 on a daily basis.
