OK, I am not a "car guy" but the latest changed in automotive technologies has gotten my attention. I thought we create a "master" thread where we post interesting news and information about cars. No limits to what can be discussed.
I am going to start by posting about the latest engine announcement from Mazda where they have conquered the holy grail in engine technology by mixing the best of Diesel and Gas engines together, resulting in claimed 20 to 30% improvement in fuel efficiency. They call it Skyactiv-X or HCCI, its technical term.
And this with diagrams to understand what is going on:
Availability is 2019 which is pretty fast given how different this engine technology is.
