Mazda reveals accessories for the ND MX-5
http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/new...iata-released/
First of all, you can include a special aero kit, which includes a front air dam, side sill extensions, rear bumper skirt and rear lip spoiler.
On top of the added body styling, there will be Brembo brakes available, BBS wheels, and a luggage rack. Some enthusiasts scoff at a luggage rack on these cars. However, this rack is a little more intense than your everyday chrome suit case holder. It’s made of carbon fiber and weighs less than two pounds. It looks like even luggage racks can be sporty.

Porsche to go full boost with turbo charged engines in the 911 and all other cars per Walter Rohrl
The need for greater efficiency and fewer emissions is behind Porsche’s move to turbocharging, much to the disappointment of Rohrl.
“We need to go to turbocharging to reduce emissions,” he said. “How else can we get C02 levels below 95g?
“But no matter how good a turbo engine is, it can never have the pure response of a naturally aspirated engine. This is the reason I bought a Boxster Spyder, because engines like this won’t be made anymore.”
Hold on to your S2000s. If possible rescue some more and keep them in your garage. If an S2000 replacement ever comes out, I doubt it will be as raw as the one we own.

With the new Colorado, plus these two concepts out there, I hope it sparks a revival of the midsize truck market. Too few choices, and all of them (save the Colorado) are old 10+ year designs.

I want to see someone come out with an AWD El Camino. I hated driving my 4x4 pickups on a daily basis, but would welcome something with good gas mileage, comfortable ride, good handling, doesn't need a step stool, (or running boards), to get in, is capable in the winter, but still has the utility of a pick up with a reasonable towing capacity. The Subaru Baja doesn't cut it.

Marc - isn't the Tacoma new as well OR perhaps there is a new one coming soon??
The Colorado has great reviews but I was reading somewhere that sales have been poor. More people seem to prefer the Tacoma in that segment.
How is your truck holding up? Still happy with it?
