[member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member] thanks for the update, very interesting read.
I was reading someone's blog a few weeks back that suggested Mazda's poor strategic decisions over the last few years resulted in a lack of hybrid / EV offerings and also they pulled the Mazda 6 which was a better seller in some markets. The blog claimed they are about to launch a new strategy around a new generation of rotary / hybrid, not sure how that fits with the the market shift.
As much as I think it's a bit early, do you think the OS trend towards big EV Utes / Vans is ever going to have any impact? Personally, in a country like Australia with a massive area and very low density population I just can't see Pure EV being much use, the authorities would have to dot the landscape with Diesel powered generators which seems a bit pointless!
