I really want to drive a vehicle with the Skyactiv-X engine, but it won't be out for a year. Boo!
knot sure if you’re referring to the le or se line of corollas, but they look different. Non-SE models look like a fake Lexus from the front while I’m not sure what the SE and XSE look like. They all look good from other angles I’ve seen them at. SE and XSE come with the bigger engine and better transmission. Based on what I’ve read, it sounds like the Mazda 3 would be more fun, and the older 2.5 is said to be a good engine. Plus it can be had with AWD.

Used to hear that album a lot in high school. It was still fairly new back then.

Currently resting at my house in Larnaca here listening to LP-Lost On You, always liked this song. Really nice one.

Apparently you are stuck listening to NPR Station KUOW in Washington State, if you are one of the lucky Mazda owners in that area.

Mazda North American Operations said: "A radio station in the Seattle area sent image files with no extension (eg missing '.jpeg' or '.gif'), which caused an issue on some 2014-17 Mazda vehicles with older software.

"Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has distributed service alerts advising dealers of the issue."

The fix requires the replacement of the $1,500 connectivity master unit, reports say.

From Wikipedia - (Where else?
"Keith Reid describes how the name came about:

It's the name of a cat, a Siamese cat. It's the pedigree name, and it belonged to a friend of ours, just somebody that we used to hang out with when we were forming the band. One day, somebody pulled out the cat's birth certificate and said 'Have a look at this', and the name of the cat was Procol Harum. And somebody else, in fact a chap called Guy Stevens who was quite instrumental in Gary [Brooker, the singer and pianist] and myself getting together in the first place, said, 'Oh, you must call the group Procol Harum'. And we just accepted that. We never even questioned it, never even thought if it was a good name, we just went ahead with that suggestion.

Once we put the record out, people started to say, 'Oh, it's Latin, and it means 'beyond these things'. But in fact, we had spelled it incorrectly. It should have been P-R-U-C-U-L, I think, or P-R-U-C-O-L H-A-R-U-M. I believe that's right anyway. If we'd spelled it correctly; it would have meant beyond these things. But it seemed quite apt. That was it really. It was the suggestion of a friend and we just stuck with it.[15]

The name of the band is frequently misspelled; often with "Procul", "Harem", both, or other variations."
