Sounds more like a theory than an unpopular opinion. Regardless, why not efini?
ɛ̃fini, unlike Amati, never had any plans of launching in the United States. Furthermore, Efini models sold in Japan in the early 1990s were the same as Mazda badged vehicles in the United States, while the proposed Amati brand would feature different models (ɛ̃fini MS6= same as Mazda 626, ɛ̃fini MS9= same as 929, ɛ̃fini MPV and RX-7, same as Mazda MPV and RX-7).Sounds more like a theory than an unpopular opinion. Regardless, why not efini?
I'm not sure why but seeing this car suddenly reminds me of the 2-door Accord coupe.
"Good day m8!"Unpopular opinion: BMW ditched M8 because they realized its name is txtspeak for "mate"
I know. I just had more than an inkling that the first thing that popped into my head wouldn't be viewed favorably (though I was surprised by how unfavorably) and I wanted to follow through with it.
I meant for it to be adapted to cars, but well done.
Not so hard, at least for me.
It seems easier in the car world to like something everyone hates, but still harder.

Did I do it right?
I've written near-breathless praise for this gem, and I'm prepared to do it again.
Anywhere I go, there's such-and-such highway to my north, such-and-such highway to my south, a river to my west...on the map, that tells me where I am, and allows me to trace where I ended up and how to get back on track.Maps don't tell you on the map where you are if you get lost. Navigation systems do. I frequently get lost.
For smartphones, I thought Waze was a lot more useful than Google Maps, since it has voice navigation and tells a lot about current traffic situations in several areas, therefore avoiding traffic prone routes, not to mention giving other crucial information needed during trips as well but of course, it needs internet for the application to operate. So it may not be that useful in some areas where signals aren't that significant.Have you ever tried to read a map or directions while navigating something like downtown Chicago? I mean you can do it, but I feel like it's needlessly distracting when you should probably keep your eyes on the road. SatNav has made getting around so much easier, not to mention safer since I can just set it up before setting off and it will tell me where to go and when to turn. If you use something like Google Maps it even tells you which lane to be in so you're not swerving across three lanes of traffic at the last minute.
I agree having a map in the glovebox is a decent idea though as a just in case, but if you're so lost you need a map you probably don't know where you are on it anyways. Seems simpler just to download various cached data from Google Maps to your phone.
And that's great that that works for you, but it absolutely does not and never has for me. Hence making sure every car I've bought has had or has provisions to fairly easily install a nav system.Anywhere I go, there's such-and-such highway to my north, such-and-such highway to my south, a river to my west...on the map, that tells me where I am, and allows me to trace where I ended up and how to get back on track.
It certainly isn't always that easy in certain pockets of the country, but anywhere I've been, from here to Montreal to New Orleans to Colorado Springs, everything is marked well enough that I sometimes don't even bring directions for a multi-hour drive (or I don't read them if I do). I review the route before I leave, and if there's anything tricky I sometimes jot down those parts or sketch a simplified close-up. Adventure!
Google Maps is useful, but I usually just glance at the destination on my laptop before I head out (although the directions tool generates a decently accurate ETA). In the cities around us, just give me the street name and let me see a nearby intersection and that's probably all I need. The only thing a device can do better is live information, like road closures. But that can also be found on the laptop once it's posted.
Sure there is, the Porsche 901!There is no better looking car than the 911
Indeed. The 901 is a 911. Peugeot wasn't too happy with the "0" between the "9" and the "1", so Porsche changed 901 into 911 but the car was still the same.Sure there is, the Porsche 901!
It's still a "911". But 901s were the first 82 "911s" built.
