That looks like a serious case of, not enough tow vehicle.

Perhaps, but it's pretty common for people to tow car trailers with commodores and Falcons and rarely do such things happen.

Apparently the guy Towing the Pontiac was cut off by another driver as they went down the on ramp, he swerved or braked suddenly and Jack knifed it.

Knowing that on ramp well, id say someone saw car trailer guy taking the on ramp and tried to gun it down the outside Lane that ends shortly after entering the on ramp so he didn't get stuck behind him. Kinda dumb considering the on ramp leads into 4 lanes of highway and he would have Been stuck for all of 30 seconds

A vehicle should be secured with at least four tie downs.

This is the second Metropolitan wagon I've seen lately, did they really produce a wagon?

I wouldn't be so harsh on Coleman and co. They did a great job on the stock Miata setup, less so on the Club. Still not "idiots", though. If you think the CX3 is badly set up, you probably shouldn't drive any of its competitors at speed.
Actually Keith, I drove the CX3 for the first and only time at a Mazda event for us staff. Also compared to a Subie XV that had actual suspension motion brought by them to the event for comparision. The CX3 has full on prepared autocross suspension (roll stiffness in particular) in entry level CUV aimed at empty nesters. Due to that and the too-fast steering ratio, it's undriveable in inclement weather, and harsh riding and generally the suspension has lost more sales than it gained us, by a factor of 6 to 1. I repeat, whoever "he" is or whatever his team, they berkeleyed up. Hard.

Funny, my main experience with the CX3 has been on an ice course (ie, inclement) with a variety of different tires, and it was far more capable than the Forester (ie, low XV) that was also in attendance. The Mazda enabled you instead of blocking you. The Subaru felt like a truck and relied more on its stability system than the Mazda. The CRV was just atrocious. But that's from a driver's standpoint, not a salesman's.

If you're selling Mazdas, pick up the Zoom Zoom magazine, you'll learn the Coleman name. If you're not selling to enthusiasts, it won't matter. But if you are, it may be the sort of product knowledge that helps.

We also did this at the same event.
