What DO YOU want us to talk about next? Drop a comment below!

Mazda has just recently trademarked a new "R" logo that could likely be the successor to MazdaSpeed. They've also recently patented a rather fleshed-out rear end of a unibody coupe chassis. And we already know that the SkyActive inline 6 RWD platform is on it's way soooo I personally think the future of Mazda sportiness is looking pretty good😁

[JesusMartinez-wxjy]

What about what happened to ST? Like how we went from the Fiesta and Focus ST to the Edge and Explorer ST

[infadelakainf]

I’ve been in bed for a week with COVID and this just changed my test results. I’m back to life

[carlossantamaria]

I'm keeping my first gen mazdaspeed 3. Took me a while to get it

[visionarydreamz]

They should make a newer ms6 they didn’t get the love they deserve I own both but would like a new ms6

[NYHeeb]

When he talked about the Mazda paint I died. My 02 Nb has original red and it shines like new still. Amazing quality!!!!

[nigelbassett]

Remember when Mazda was fun and not another Lexus? I miss those days when their cars were crazy, an easy starting platform for tuning, and earned that zoom zoom

[infadelakainf]

FINALLY!!!! Been like a year. Thank you guys.

[Iamsandivo]

i still want a mazdaspeed protege with yellow paint. that was supposed to be my first car but i ended up getting a civic. i still have a deep car lust for them. they're so dope

[realWeeze]

I have a soft spot for Mazda. Great cars and fun to drive. Owned a 90’ miata and a 2012 speed 3 and they were the best cars I’ve ever driven

[PapaJoe]

I like my mazdaspeed, i don’t want to feel like i should sell it for a new one, plus i’m savin up to get her low with some big ol rubbery bois on so like, we chillin

[Hyphessobrycon]

My first “first car” buy was ALMOST a Mazdaspeed protege. Gorgeous Orange and everything, from a guy selling his late daughter’s car. I watched it drive away to another owner because I got there just too late. The seller seemed sad I didn’t get it too, he even sent me messages after I had left to apologize even though he did nothing wrong. I think about that experience often. And now I own a slow ass celica

[nicholasroberts]

I have every mazdaspeed except for the miata. Been needing to sell at least one for months but never have the heart to give one up. Love these cars!

[guillermoreyesjimenez]

I’ve been searching for a Speed6 for the longest time. Don’t have a lot of money either so I went with a Volvo S40 T5 for now

[darienmartin]

Major props to whoever does your video editing. #unsunghero

Owning both a Gen 1 and Gen 3 Mazda 3, I can say that even if the Speed division is not present at the moment Mazda is doing a good job when it comes to enjoying the drive of their cars, there is enough power to have some fun in them plus you can't deny that they pretty look good. Plus their new Kodo Design and Soul Red Crystal paint is just superb

[BaddDukk]

My son has a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 and it is a blast to drive. What a great car. If they had made the Mazdaspeed 6 in the wagon body, I would be all over that.

[JS-]

We didn't had Mazdaspeed in Europe, those were called as Mazda MPS 3 and MPS 6 (Mazda Performance Series), but same cars.

Mazda is lot more than MX5/Miata and RX7...

I had 2004 Mazda 6 2.3 gt in pearlescent-yellow, it was great car and looked very good with some nice wheels, never had problems with that car before... rust... Mazdas of that era liked to rot...

[chimeraguts]

Honestly, I like Alex with the floofy hair.
