Dear Mr. M.
Thank you for your recent letter regarding design ideas for Mazda.
As advised earlier, Mazda North American Operations frequently receives a large number and variety of ideas from people, such as you, who are not employed by one of Mazda's companies. We trust you can appreciate that there are many organizations responsible for the manufacturing and marketing of Mazda products. These organizations are constantly working on new ideas.

P.S I have driven this and it is a very punchy engine but performance of a 4 litre V8....come on :P

[mattbod]

I am surprised that this (excellent) engine is for sale in the US because Diesel has never taken off there.

Nice power, good on diesel however! Seems to have a major meltdown every 60, 000 kms. Mainly the oil strainer and head gaskets... speaking from personal experience. Conclusion, good power, smooth and excellent fuel efficiency, downside very unreliable diesel engine I've had

nice video, little BS-ing at times, but glad you bring it to north america

Experience has shown that there is always the possibility, and indeed the likelihood that an idea submitted from the outside will be similar (or the same) to one that may already be well known, previously considered or under development by the company. Therefore, unsolicited ideas from members of the public must be respectfully declined and returned to the submitter. Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on your idea.

just watched the twin turbo blow up at Daytona... there not ready

Even VW's non-turbo diesels produce more torque than a gasoline engine. It's just the nature of the design

Just so you know Mazda did not pay the freelance designer of this engine. Good to know that their corporate greed is efficient as well!

[brx]

Yes! They take from people what they think they can get away with. The world does not really care about someone else getting taken advantage of. I'm letting people know that this happened and they could be next in line after all... Mazda plays dirty! I sent some designs in and I did not see or here back from them. Next thing I know, they are coming out with my work and they even use the name I had given my designs! I thank you for your concern.

No they don't. Turbos produce more torque!
With same CC and same pressure and Otto always produce more torque and more HP. The think is that diesel have a loot of boost (normally > 1 bar) and otto engines either are NA or have pressures < 1 bar.

So, the reason they have more torque is because CC and turbo pressure, not because it's diesel!

Well that's funny, My dpf keeps filling up, so can't be that clean, bloody good engine, spoilt by these stupid dpf filters

[jjmaia]

Exactly (i have write a "p" instead f an "m".
Diesel cycle doesn't have more torque!

[Pit]

Do not buy diesel mazda it is suffering from carbon accumulation like mine and would required engine cleaning that cost a fortune ( I think they even made a recall in Australia for that ) their EGR do not work properly, you are better off blocking it off by specialist and reprogramming computer. I spent thousands on mechanik and now it look like turbo packed up and need replacement most likely because of reduced air intake caused by carbon accumulation.

Mr.Diesel himself might not recognize but Mazda customers can recognize.

POOR DESIGNED DIESEL ENGINE OF ALL TIME !!!

"worse engine " costumers said 2017

I hope Mazda CEO sees this comment.
Mazda you try to copy the big players but don't want to exceed your competitors best. Always lacking in engine options, models, and always behind in leadership.
Get rid of the lame RX8 or put a decent reliable Sky- Active gas V6 or V8 in it. Expand your Sky-Active gas engine technology in your RX8 and shock the big boys in the game. As for the rotary engines it's wasting your company brain power, and manpower.
Build a urban mini pickup while all the competitions has none. By using the 3's engines and keep the price down to earth for all Janes and Joes. Made that user friendly for folks of all ages and health conditions. Lower the heights of entry and the cargo loading areas. Build it simple not just the fully dressed pricey models. Don't follow F-150, Ram, GMC, or the Trundra or its smaller sibling TACOMA.(Too Big, too wide, too long, too bad boy, too brute, too tall, too high entry & cargo lift height, use too much gas, too hard to wash & wax, too pricey for real work)
Don't follow GM= Gross Management tries to build costly corporate butt hurt limited collectors vehicles regular folks don't buy it cause that giant to bankruptcy.
Put a premium V6 in that 6 would bring more buyers plus a sport wagon too. Add a brand new full size MAZDA 8 sedan and sport wagon (not SUV) with a V8
Put a simple light weight cheap to manufacture full time hard top on that Miata MX5 Come on, there are many parts of the world couldn't get warm sunny days all the time. Not everyone likes bird droppings, dirts, and cold wet weathers. Put at least another 75 - 175 HP into the weak Miata would help. That alone would put fears & envy eyes to the competitors in the sport car world.
Stretch that already good Mazda 3 another 4-10 inches really helps the rear seating comfort and rear foot space areas. Then your 3 has matured to perfection to beat the competitions. Stay away the lame diesel engine business like VW. It's a waste of corporate 💰, reliable disgrace, and company effort.
Stop just listen to your past loyal customers. They are too small for your company expansion plans. You need to build up your products and brand name to all buyers of all ages and income not just the wannabe premium brand segment.
Too scare to step out of your comfort zones MAZDA ?
Then stay small and keep shrinking in the global market.
ZOOM, ZOOM OR DOOM !
