I have a better idea. Why don't they just include a 6 year old boy with every TPV? Then you can have him sit in the back seat and make brrr-brrr- vroom motor noises as you drive down the road in your not-so-quiet EV. I guess that fake automatic transmission creep wasn't sufficiently annoying. Who knew CM Kornbluth would turn out to be a prophet? Interesting. Mazda thinks that drivers want more noise and less range in their EVs. They also think that it's a great idea to use a Wankel engine in a hybrid. Great idea: Wankel engines are noted for smooth operation and for abysmal fuel efficiency. Is Mazda trying to commit corporate harikari?
