Mazda responds to new emissions regulations - with the finger!

Check out this story from MAZDA Australia. Like many countries, Australia continues to tighten their emissions regulations. And starting January 1st 2025, they’re tightening them even more… continuing to put a boa-constrictor squeeze on carmakers (and ultimately consumers). Well, Mazda in Australia basically had enough & said – tighten them all you want… fine us… & fuck off. We’re gonna keep building the cars that our customers want. *They didn’t say fuck off, that’s me translating. But that’s basically the gist through corporate un-filtering.

Way to go MAZDA!

It takes a lot of guts to speak freely & frankly these days. And considering how the competitors who’ve put their customers LAST are failing (read about Stellantis & VW hardships)… it’s a smart move. And an honest one! Let’s play a game called What’s more ‘sustainable’: 1) A Mazda Miata for 30k… or 2) an electric SUV for 90k that puts craters in the earth to make a battery that weighs as much as the entire Mazda Miata. Also – which one do you think will last longer? Working towards lower emissions vehicles is the obvious goal… but doing it delusionally & recklessly is not how we achieve it. Yet these ever-tightening emissions regulations are becoming impossible to meet with an internal combustion engine. And make no mistake, that’s by political design. The squeeze will not stop until we collectively put a stop to it & say ‘enough is enough’. Thank you Mazda.
