Mazda Blacklisted Me, So I Bought Their Most Expensive Car.

Mazda Australia has cancelled CarSauce, and this should concern you. After we published our video last year called “Mazda is in BIG Trouble”, Mazda Australia took issue with a number of the points we raised. The video covered declining global sales, ageing platforms, quality concerns, dealer feedback and the growing pressure from Chinese manufacturers. Here is that video: https://youtu.be/wsEkCk-RwCA Wanting to be fair, I even gave Mazda Australia a heads-up before the video went live as a professional courtesy. We later had discussions with them, and after hearing their side, I re-filmed parts of the video months later to better reflect the situation. Fast forward to now, and things have escalated. CarSauce has effectively been blacklisted by Mazda Australia. We’re no longer being invited to launches, provided vehicles, or treated equally alongside other automotive media outlets. For one of Australia’s largest independent car publications, that raises a pretty serious question: Should manufacturers be able to cut off media access when they don’t like coverage? So, instead of staying quiet… I went out and bought one of Mazda’s most iconic cars ever made: an FD Mazda RX-7. Today’s video is the pickup vlog, the beginning of a new project car journey, and also a deeper conversation about media access, transparency, and why independent automotive journalism matters.
