I see late model cars still advertising the fact that they're fuel injected

who gives a shit its 2017 thats like bragging about having power steering

This is worth bragging about.
Mazda needs to rub that in everyones face.
Lighter, more efficient, no gimmicks, better driving, better handling, well thought out cars.
Other companies should take note

>>16927233
Fuel injection has been federally mandated since the 90s, kek.

Fuel injection on late 80's which makes sense.

4 speed automatics on Mercedes lmao

4X4 on a truck (are any 2wd only trucks even made anymore?)

>4 speed automatics

Because anyone at Mercedes thinks this is unusual to have an automatic transmission, and therefore worth mentionning.

4matic is the name of AWD tech, not transmission.

Granted, people here only buy new cars when they're shopping for SUVs, and only to keep speeding over speed bumps. Regular cars actually have to brake while SUVs can just keep on driving. Our speed bumps are just elevated parts of the road, pic related, not the black-and-yellow ones that ruin suspensions
