Mazda CEO- Economy improving, worst is over
 
What did they say? “The worst is over,” said Takashi Yamanouchi, Mazda’s president and chief executive, regarding the global economic crisis and its effect on the auto industry. Mr. Yamanouchi sounded this note of optimism while describing Mazda’s plan to increase global fuel economy 30 percent by 2015.

He said this at the NY Auto Show. Can anyone tell me why its important for him to believe the economy is improving? ;)

What do you guys think about the new mileage bill? 35MPG by 2016. Does that mean the whole fleet has to average 35MPG?

not each car. the fleet as a whole.

Of course the first thing I thought of when I heard this is the rotary. All the more reason for more manufacturers to bring diesel engines to the US. Imagine the Mazda 3 with a diesel. If the pig of a car Jetta can get around 40 with a diesel, that's easily 50+ mpg in the lighter 3.
