Didn't anyone tell you? Mazda, in conjunction with the major TV manufacturers, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Deutsches Hoden Treten Komitee (DHtK) have been installing tiny chips in all TVs since 1992 that allows them to restrict reception of certain key stations and frequencies. You'll need to get an ID and password, send a check for $100 to me (as local representative of the DHtK), and enter that information into your TV by speaking very clearly into your your TV's screen before you can receive transmission.












It's an internet broadcast... :P

Busted..................I give up :(

That was a pretty cool unveiling! 8)

It took about 13 minutes... it started at about a quarter till... lasted about 15 minutes...

The car looks MUCH better in the video feed than static pictures show.

The seats look recessed back into the back panel and the side bolsters looked quite a bit bigger than on the NB seats.

The 3rd taillight is right up behind the cabin instead of on the trunk lid. I guess they got tired of fixing broken wires to the light :lol:

It was an interesting show. Lots of hoopla & fanfare just for an unveiling.

RJ

Too much hoopla for me, but it was a cool unveiling. It supposedly has a larger interior and only weighs around 22 lbs. more than the previous generation.
There was no info on performance given. I'm sure there will be a flood of info now that it's been officially shown to the public.

I could have lived without the explanation of "Jim by a Tie", and the not ready for prime time drummers, along with the paint by numbers demonstration! :lol:

Sadly, I could not get the download for some XYZ reason! Time wastedon waiting. Hope I don't miss anything!

anyone DL it? i missed it.

Download will be available sometime this evening. I missed the unveiling too, but I plan to download it and look at it later.

Download is available!

logon to the site and choose the Video / Downloads tab. The hi-res long version is a huge 130Mb zip file. (says 180mb on the page... strange...)

RJ

I downloaded and watched this morning. I would like about 20 of those 25 minutes back please!
