secondly, when the FD arrived in the US, nobody in the world knew how to fix it. not the US, the world, i've heard some interesting stories, but the Japanese had to figure out the thing too. and B do you really expect a $15/hour oil change guy to figure out the turbo system? i'm not sure about the customer loyalty thing either, when something bad happens on a BMW, like when the rear suspension pulled out of the 90's M3's, BMW blames the owners, yet BMW sells a lot of cars.... for the second part, Mazda had to deliver a 50% increase in power, WHILE improving fuel economy, and emissions while having a 50,000mile warranty. they knew how to make power, its the other three that are tricky. plus the twins are cool! and they make the car seem like its a rocket ship. I wonder if the turbo nightmares that Mazda had is why they went with an NA engine for the rx8? Then again, the renisis is probably the least reliable rotary engine ever produced, and know people that went to an FD so that it would be more reliable which is embarrassing. Twins being cool would be alot more accurate if they had twin gt28's or some other set of peashooter turbos that isn't ugly like the stock setup. |
