I KNOW there are a lot of interesting things that we COULD wander off into, but let's stick to the topics here.
 
Thanks!

#33 of 41 I wouldn't bump off... by carguy58

but I would have to say the following automakers would have to do this:
 
Mazda:
 
Where is the MazdaSpeed 3? Its been 3 years of the Mazda 3 being on the market but still no MazdaSpeed 3? think I a new MazdaSpeed 3 is due out soon but Mazda shouldn't have waited 3 years for the Mazda Speed 3 to come to the market.
 
Also, when the 6 grows in size for '08 gives us a coupe and give the 6 coupe its old name back: the MX-6.
 
Where is your sub-compact to compete with the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Accent, and future Honda Fit. If anybody could make a supcompact that is going to topple Honda and Toyota its Mazda. So where is your sub-compact in the US market?
 
Mitsubishi:
 
Why isn't the Galant GTS trim not AWD? Also gives an eclipse with AWD.
 
Honda:
 
where is your hybrid to compete with the Toyota Prius? A hybrid Civic is not going to do the trick. Honda needs a seperate car to be its hybrid model on its own like Toyota does with the Prius. I know Honda had a hybrid before with the Insight but it didn't do well but neither did the first generation Toyota Prius in the US. Honda should have bought a second generation Insight to the market and worked on the weak points of the first generation Insight like Toyota did with the first generation Prius.
 
Cadillac:
 
better interiors plastics in your cars please.
 
Ford:
 
bring back the Focus SVT for the young enthusiast
whenever a new generation Focus is out.
 
Infinti:
 
where is your TSX, and S40 competitor?

I would bump off BMW cars altogether (way to expensive for what you get) but keep their bikes going.

LOL, I do love the M3, even though it's $20K over-priced.

Yeah I will agree that its about $20K overpriced. At what they are asking they should throw in a R 1200 to go along with it.

I do like Bimmer Bikes, and they really aren't that expensive.
