What a delightful dance with technology Mazda has choreographed! A little bit hybrid, a little bit mild-hybrid, and a splash of plug-in, just enough to keep the car enthusiasts’ hopes alive but not so much to make any real waves. The CX-50 Hybrid, a Toyota twin? Pfft, you’d be lucky if your engine doesn’t break down after a ‘7.5-second 0-60 MPH time’—I’d bet a 10-year-old could beat that. The CX-70? A beast of a hybrid, I guess, but with a 25 MPG? In this age of electric revolution, Mazda seems more like the ‘Keep the Lights On’ movement. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports? Let’s just say their scores are as reliable as a Mazda’s reliability rating. The CX-90, ah, a CX-70 with a few extra seats? A CX-70 with more seats? It’s like buying a regular cup of coffee and getting a ‘Premium’ cup—same ingredients, just a little more… water. This is like the auto industry’s ‘Lost in Translation’ moment, where everyone is speaking the same language but no one understands each other. Bravo, Mazda, for keeping it ‘conservative’!
