Skimmed through the Dec. issue of Automobile magazine today and, those guys were showing nothing but love for Mazda. They have a first drive on the CX-9 and they were very impressed. Further back they have I believe a long term test on the Mazda 5, again they pretty much loved it. Last but not least they took the Mazda 3 for a spin on the Autobaun (spelling?) and hit 162 mph, and the rev limiter never seemed to kick in. (burnout)
