A very mild update indeed... the audioless concept appeals to me though, as it always annoys me how long it takes the car makers to adopt modern audio technologies in stock systems. For example, if you want compatibility with a simple USB key, you need a new 7 series...

If its a MCE its supercharged? And the Milly MCE would have been good with a continuously variable transmission.

They have found ways to apply the MCE concept without forced induction.

This doesnt have s/c which makes it an atkinson cycle. Since toyota uses the name atkinson and mazda has (some) relations with MCE in the past, they prefer to use MCE.
Funny that with all MCE,VVT and CVT mazda2 beats prius in fuel economy... -------------------- 2001 Mazda Millenia S, Brilliant Black, 120k miles QUOTE(Xedosman @ Apr 4 2009, 01:38 PM) I wouldn't want to discuss car design with females and people with rear spoilers unless the spoiler is stock.

Prius does weigh 30% more... a more interesting comparison is with a TDi of similar dimensions.

How come Mazda hasnt come out with some sort of variable valve timing. A system like that would benefit the MCE.

It has VVT, they call it sequential VVT or something. It is hydraulically controlled IIRC. It has all tricks to beat a hybrid. -------------------- 2001 Mazda Millenia S, Brilliant Black, 120k miles QUOTE(Xedosman @ Apr 4 2009, 01:38 PM) I wouldn't want to discuss car design with females and people with rear spoilers unless the spoiler is stock.
