>2016 mazda vs 2026 mazdaWe are dead and this is Hell.
I'm guessing that's a concept car? I really like modern Mazda interiors.
>>28911062no, it's a production car. only australia/china so far i guess, not available in the states.https://www.mazda.com.au/cars/cx-6e/#design
How do you shift gears?
>>28911062Pretty sure that's a Mazda CX-6e, an EV cuckover based on the Chinese Changan Deepal S07.Kind of sad, but I guess their own cuckover designs are getting so dated they can't sell them outside the US and the third world any more.
what am I looking at? side mirror screens on the interior?
>>28911069So what happens if you need to tap one of those buttons on the far right?
>>28911072the cx5 crossover is/was nice thoughever
I'm never ever buying any of this bullshit. I'll just keep fixing my boxy 80s sedan instead.
worthless carslop. all Japanese automotive companies need to bankrupt except for toyota
>>28911076instead of side mirrors it has winglet cameras
>Mazda going all-touch just when even dumb behemoths like VW are returning to sanitykwab
>>28911059the glued on ipad thing was a meme, but this just takes it to a whole new levelthe fucking thing isnt even centered, who is it for? the shotgun passanger and rear middle seat passanger?
>>28911059>We are dead and this is Hell.There is a theory that all of time has happened in an instant and what we experience as time is our way of coping with it.Those moments when you experience your script. That is how it happened.
>>28911219so what happens when we die in these memories according to the theory?
>>28911214hahaha what the fucklook at tue passenger air vent, ita halfway blocked by the screenwhat were they thinking? considering they had one of the best screen inplementantions until recently
>>28911059>>28911069>>28911230so uhh. what happens if there's an accident and the airbags need to deploy?
The top one looks like shit The best ones were the period between those two when they were copying Porsche
>>28911182>>28911076they look like a pain in the ass to use
>>28911256the moving screen seems prone to failure
>>28911059I get why some of you're upset. And Mazda even themselves touted how they're driver first and didn't want to even add touch to their infotainment system on their recent interior revamp. But the reality is, cars without screens do not fucking sell in the key markets, most consumers (and their kids) do want fancy screens, and they don't give a fuck about some climate control or other auxiliary controls being buttons or touch because it's usually set once and forget. Say good bye.
>>28911233a calculated sacrifice for the sake of money saved by removing useful tactile buttons in sake of a more ecnomically viable screenIts 23.5", why dont you like it chud?
>>28911071gears?
its not really a mazda its a rebadged "changan" chinese EV sold as a mazda for complicance/emissions purposes in countries where chinese cars aren't illegal to sell
>>28911059Vile.I renounce smart phones and all their works.
>>28911059>>28911236can a taller person in the driving seat even properly see the side mirrors at that angle?or is this just for manlets?
>>28911233China only mandates a driver-side airbag.
>>28911059I got a 2016 cx-5 and they really dropped the ball with the next gen. It is like they are 5-6 years behind. While western carmarkers like VW are slowly starting to go back to buttons, Mazda goes full touchscreen which noone asked for.
>>28911069UI sort of looks like it uses the same software platform as the Deepal S07.Wonder if it has those usual Chinese driver "assists" forced on, too? Unless you drive on the most pristine potemkin roads ever, those things are practically trying to kill you.>mistakes lumps of snow for lane markings, tries to avoid crossing "lane boundary" by automatically steering the car into ditch>forces car into the center of a narrow road because it can't see the worn lane markings and assumes the road is a single lane>auto emergency brake triggers from random false positives>makes random beeps to warn you of hazards and the hazard avoidance systems not functioningAlso, if you react to any of those and look around instead of staring straight ahead, the driver attention monitoring starts beeping, too.Maybe that feature is less of a problem if the expected drivers do not contain souls.
>>28911059>Piano gloss on steering wheel buttons Abominable.
>>28911059what a fucking tragedy
meanwhile Alfa Romeo in 2026
>>28911059Damn that's egregious
>>28911261>most consumers (and their kids) do want fancy screensNo all this gay shit comes from overpaid MBAs who think they have to copy tesla to sell EVs and DEI focus groups full of chinks and browns. Ensouled human beings were not involved in the creation or subsequent purchase of cars like this.
I'm just as against over screenification as the next guy, but just remember the next time you complain about touchscreens, remember that this was the alternative.There's definitely a happy medium but I know which is the lesser of two evils.
>>28911660>Deepalwhat the fuck is China's problem with brand nameswhat the hell is a DeepalGonna head on down to the Beepo dealership and pick me up a new Q03XTYeah I was thinking about getting a Grungle but then I test drove the new HAMAMA and it really impressed me
>>28911059I'd rather just rebuild my entire car than get a new one
>>28912106>what the hell is a DeepalThe company's name in Chinese means something like "Deep Blue Automotive Technology".I'd guess "Deepal" is an attempt to turn that into an international-sounding name that's just the right length for a car brand, while being something a Chinese person might be able to pronounce.They're really just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks with these brands. Some companies have dozens of them, e.g. a separate brand identity for each powertrain, or car size class, or whatever, even if those cars largely use the same platform and barely even look any different.>he hasn't always dreamed of owning a Chery Tiggo 7 High Energy C-DM / Ruìhǔ 7
Mazda was already dead in 2016.
>>28911607>taller person yes they are fine for a 5'5" man
>>28911658also have a 2016 cx5 and that little knob in the middle has been broken for like 5 years. would cost a couple hundred bucks to fix so i never bothered
>>28912141>>28912106>>28911660The CX-6e was developed with Changan (creator of Deepal S07) so they have a lot of similarities. Probably similar to what GM did to Saab back in the day. Not quite a full rebadge, but getting there.
>>28912368Sucks to be you then i guess. Mine is still going strong and i would use it any time over the touchscreen, especially when driving.
>>28911230It's mostly a rebadge of a Chinese EV, so I'm guessing they were thinking "this shit sells in China".
>not watching Ben-Hur while occasionally glancing at the road when the lane departure warning beeps at u
>>28911059don't forget it will come with the proprietary kill-switch and return-to-deal auto-route 'feature' when you don't pay your bills on time.
>>28911059porn will look good on that screen
>>289110592016 is already shit and youre a faggot if you dont realize itMazda's interiors peaked in the 00s, just like most cars
>>289120855000 physical buttons is far better than 3 submenus and sliding your finger through plastic. It only takes you around 3 times of pushing a button to learn where it is. In contrast, adjusting the AC temperature in a touchscreen requires chameleon eyes, +20 luck, or at least a full second of distracting your eyes from the roadI miss the old times so badly and I'm not even 30 yo
>>28911260it doesn't move
>>28911076>>28911236Pure insanity. Why is looking at a side view mirror sized screen on your passenger door better than looking at an actual side view mirror? How is this an improvement? Instead of putting a mirror on the side of the car they put a fucking camera and wiring and install a screen to show you what the camera sees when you could of bypassed all of that bullshit with the exact technology we've been using for the past century in the form of a regular ass mirror? It's not giving you more visibility, it's literally doing the same thing as a side mirror with extra steps and complexity. Absolutely ridiculous.
>>28911059Mazda is the worst fucking vehicle in terms of programming. Idk if my car is even locked rn because it constantly unlocks itself or doesn't fully lock when I press the button. I start the car and the auto parking brake won't turn off until I restart it 2 more times. I disabled that feature on the menu but it turns itself back on. There's no way to disable auto braking so it slams on the brakes while driving if it sees a car braking in the lane next to me, or a car coming at me on an open highway that's in an adjacent lane. It thinks I'm gonna go head on with it and fully locks the brakes nearly causing people to crash into me. I need to sell this shit asap. I just bought it used and it's a fucking 2024. Do not buy Mazda, it's complete garbage. Look how many error lights I constantly have in a 2 year old vehicle, and the goddamn doors are crooked and don't close right. Fuck this POS.
>>28911093You become a far-right leaning nazi chud
>>28913618something people also forget to mention is the camera backlight has to be good because the sun is so stupidly bright. if the backlight burns out good luck lol
>>28914085should be better at night though, shouldn't it?
>>28913627>I just bought it used >the goddamn doors are crooked and don't close right.Sounds like you didn't do a pre-purchase inspection, or even look at the car for more than 2 seconds. You bought a wrecked car because you're an unobservant retard.
>>28913566Really should have no screen and more than about 10 buttons.
>>28915973Yep, definitely a wrecked car. Probably even a salvage title lol.
>>28911059>>28911069absolutely horrific
>>28911059>even changing the logo so it spells out MAZDAWhat in the fuck?
>>28911256would look so good without the stupid fucking screen
>>28912085shitloads of buttons and switches are kino if you do it right. problem is that porsche fucked it up
>>28918318You're actually brain rotted
>>28918246>changing the logo so it spells out MAZDAChinese and turdies can't recognize the logos of fancy developed world brands (except maybe Toyota and Suzuki), so for brand awareness it might make sense to just use letters.
>>28918570sorry you were born with shit for eyes. remove the switches from the cup car's dash and it would look clean as fuck
>>28919554What does the trans switch do?
>>28919829driver select
>>28919554>fire buttonwhy?
>>28912079>most consumers (and their kids) do want fancy screensIt's 2026 there is nothing fancy about a fucking touchscreen, its pedestrian technology and the reason its stuffed into cars is because its the cheaper option to creating buttons
>>28911236>Improperly adjusted mirrors in promotional photoGrim
>>28911260the low iq seems to be your failure
>>28911059>giving a shit about cars made after 2004You only have yourself to blame
>>28918246ngmi
>>2892068790% of these apparently have some amount of fecal matter on the screen
>>28911660>Wonder if it has those usual Chinese driver "assists" forced on, too?It's not just chinksect cars. I have a friend who complains his company Skoda keeps trying to either smash itself into barriers on a straight road or tries to go straight when coming into a turn all thanks to the fucktarded lane assist. He also said the car will absolutely yank the wheel out of your hands if you aren't death gripping it.
>>28913566>I miss the old times so badly and I'm not even 30 yoNobody's stopping you from buying and driving an old ass car.
>>28912085the seat buttons don't need to be there, they can be on the door or a physical slider on the seat itself. most of the sporty switches are rarely used options - if you had them in a recessed panel above the touchscreen that rose up an inch or so when you pressed the sport button that'd be kino as fuck (couldn't find a good example but vidrel is the idea). plus you could integrate that lap timer or whatever the fuck is in the middle of the dash.
>>28921158nigga needs to clean his damn car
>buy 2026 cx5>everything is on the screen now>screen doesn't worknow what?
>>28922490oof. Is that yours or did you pull this from somewhere online?
>>28911261>shit doesn't sell lolI see CX-5s all over the place
>>28922622I have a(n older) CX5 and it's greatthe new ones look terrible
>>28911059You dont know what hell is nigger. Hell is no one wanting you around. Hell is locking yourself away from the world. Hell is burying your entire family and being all alone. Hell is being unable to fight the depression and anxiety anymore. Hell is never starting your own family and dying alone. Hell is needing half your organs replaced. You faggots don't know what hell is
for the record the main reason this shit keeps happening isn't because of consumer taste (i don't know a single person who prefers ipad cars), it's because touchscreens have gotten so easy to produce that it's cheaper than physical buttonsno need to figure out a different design for each interior console on different models or configurations, just slap in a one-size-fits-all screen and update the software if anything needs to be changed
>>28923093>and update the software if anything needs to be changedThey're too lazy to even do that. If you car isn't 12 days old, then fuck you your stuck with whatever software you've got. >no we won't let you change it yourself.
>>28923093in this case it's because Mazda's in-house EVs failed ans they had to outsource to >>>/g/csg
>>28911096me too brother
>>28911059>central dash computer bricks>can't drive the car because it's now braindeadHard pass.I'm sticking with >pic rel.
>>28911096Enjoy dying in a 10mph fender bender
>>28911182>flush door handles>for the china marketlmoa good luck with that
>>28928686wdym
>>28928698China is based and mandates all cars must have proper manual door handles, also physical controls for HVAC.
>>28928665basedcuck copeI crashed my miata na at 40 mph and was fine
>>28928748It's the others anon, two NAs hitting each other or whatever from the erA is fine, it's a modern car is NA miata that is terrifying, my car is really modern and strong but I still worry about some retard in an SUV hitting me in the side because my car was built before the 2005 side SRS mandate.
>>28911059Who the fuck wants these giant computer screens instead of a console? Women?
>>28928767Probably young millennials and boomers, back in the 2000s when I was a boy, a flip up head unit with a screen as well as monitors in the headrest were hot shit, same with big rims, now all the cars have screens and huge rims because it looks fancy
>>28928770>boomersZoomers*Get a new phone and the autocorrect is even more aggressive and wrong
>>28911069>"Honey, can you turn the radio on?">"Sure, sweetie!">*reach over, click button, open the APP, click three more buttons, log into account with on-screen keypad and pin number, click three buttons, scroll down to find the "Radio" icon, double click that, open up the APP, find a radio station by swiping a finger from right to left while leaning over the cup-holder*
>>28911660>UI sort of looks like it uses the same software platform as the Deepal S07.Anon, that's because all electric Mazda's are badge engineered Deepals. It's actually over for /ourbrand/
>>28929158its just that one model, right? surely their US/EU models will be regular CX5s
>>28913697kek'd
why are all electric cars these overengineered high tech gizmos filled with crap? just give me a normal car with an electric engine
>>28929169Changan/Deepal works with Mazda to produce any/all EV platforms, iirc.
>>2892113790% of everything you ever touch in public has some amount of fecal matter on iteverybody poops, anon
>>28911059>>28911069The next-gen of Miata is turbo fucked, fucking hell.
>>28911059Top is perfect and probably why I'll never sell my 2016.5 CX5
>>28911059Who caresMazda is a reddit brand anyways
>>28933244I think mine is 2016.5. what was the difference again? transmission or something?
>>28922490Kwab. Might as well have bought a pre-2000s car if you have to wait for the manufacturer to send over a shitty software update to fix it.
>>28913618Aerodynamics, I'd bet.
>>28934104cant update it if it's bricked
>>28928665skill issue
>>28911059The future is now old men
"Gear leavers" now are just TCU suggestion input devices. The power button ob my TV remote is just a "go to sleep" button. Might as well just make the experience a soulless as possible and make the car interior look like a CVS waiting area with a screen.
I'm so tired of the iphone on wheels shit. God fucking dammit
>>28911230imagine how quickly that screen is gonna go to hell with the fucking heater vent blowing on the back of itwhat happened to mazda saying we should all go back to buttons, anyway?
>>28936462>"Gear leavers" now are just TCU suggestion input devices.Truth is they have been for like 40 years now. I still appreciate my physical lever, but I'm under no illusions that it's just for show as they are on all automatics.
>>28936905I feel like there's still a big difference between an electronically controlled transmission, e.g. an AOD-E with a cable going to it that moves a physical lever that then tells the dedicated little brain in the transmission to open or close X valves and change gears, versus an Atari roller-wheel in the center console with no physical connection to anything and every single aspect of the car is controlled by the ECU/PCM/BBQ/ETC that is also routed through the radio/GPS for some godforsaken reason.
>>28936912If you want your car to do what you tell it to then buy a manual like a real man, otherwise accept the fact your car will do whatever it thinks is best.
