transam Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Could be old news here, the 2021 Mazda is made by and based on an Isuzu. 190hp 3.0 turbo diesel. Totally new build for Mazda. Certainly looks better than other brand resent designs........ Edited June 23, 2020 by transam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pgrahmm Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 Any step away from Ford's influence is a good step.... Probably a wise marketing decision.... By casual observation the Ford/Mazda buying craze seems to have crashed after the newness & color buying frenzy wound down seems the Thai's went back to tried & true quality...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you didn't use the 'Quote' button (letting the forum encapsulate the text as a Quote), and didn't attribute it to anyone, the copied text appears as your own. Anyone quoting your post and the forum software will attribute it to YOU. Yes, the first post in a thread lacks a 'Quote' button. The alternative is to highlight the test and wait for the 'Quote selection' button to appear and press it to have the text properly attributed in your edit box. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlQaholic Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I love the Imperial units systems that are based in no science whatsoever. Horsepower; what kind of horse is that based on? is it an old horse with a limp or a young horse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockhopper Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 in my 43 years working as an outside salesman I have had over 20 vehicles, 7 of which were Mazda, including an RX-7 sports rotary engine. All other vehicles were American made of various manufacture. The Mazda cars were the most durable, high mileage and low maintenance cars; the best vehicles ever! It was disappointing to see Ford leave Mazda as I felt Ford had a positive influence on Mazda. Oops, my last car was a SAAB, another fantastic automobile! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millymoopoo Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Just listen to any Izuzu baht bus (songkeu) that's done a few miles, the rattle bang crash noises coming from the engine will tell you the Ford 3.2l 5cyl was just so much better, I'll be sticking to my Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 and giving the new Mazda Izuzu a big miss thank you....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford sold it's controlling interest in Mazda about 12 years ago and completely split 5 years ago. Prior to that, Fords "influence" extended to shared chassis' and some powertrains'. Mazda's engines, design and distribution has always been bespoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addendum ...with the notable exception of Mazda's range of BT pick-ups that did share Duratorq engines with Ford's Ranger series in Thailand and small-sized SUV's in other markets (Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
