The HCCI SkyActiv-X is still a no show, but hey, the 3 finally gets some power.

I wonder why Mazda's been so reluctant to roll out the turbos? Everybody else is doing it. CAFE compliance?

It seems to work well on small cars, Mazda3 is pretty small.  Of course most wouldn't know the difference and wouldn't care.  However, it goes against the ZOOM-ZOOM philosophy. 

Wouldn't make any different unless you track it.

I'm not a fan of the new 3. I'm glad I talked the woman into buying a 2018 one and not hold off on the new one.
