Now this is something with a bit of an unexpected flavor from Mazda. The manufacturer once referred to as the “zoom-zoom” guys are starting to zip around again. The Japanese company has just announced its plans for the Mazda 3 compact and the news is all good. The next generation of this car really is
Shortly after unveiling the 2014 Mazda6 at the Moscow Motor Show, the Japanese car maker promised the range would seriously expand. They’re going to make all sorts of interesting versions ranging from a coupe to a mining truck. Well, the latter may be a little over the top but you know what I meant. As
There was a bit of a concern over the way the Japanese unveiled the 2014 Mazda6 in at Russia’s Motor Show but there’s no need to worry. It seems that the formerly “zoom zoom” company has big plans for their new and stunning sedan model. There’s talk of several derivatives. First of all, there’s a
News from Russia: Communism is coming back. Well, not really, it never left, but that’s a different discussion altogether.

The Mazda RX-8 is perhaps one of the finest cars of the present, a revolution on what’s to be understood as a genuine sports car, which is perhaps why it wasn’t really a success in pretty much none of the markets it went on sale in. The only conventional sports car stuff the Mazda RX-8
Built to pick up where the 323 left off, the Mazda 3 is a very successful part of the Japanese manufacturer’s lineup, mostly due to its great value for money situation and its serious reliability rating.

The Japanese people from Mazda decided to take the new MX-5 Yusho concept for a spin at the Hockenheim circuit in Germany. The MX-5 Yusho is a prototype unveiled at the Auto Mobil International Show (AMI) last month.

It seems that Mazda’s changed direction in terms of style (again) and that their new Kodo design language has won over the executive hearts of the Japanese company. Somebody must be making some really bad decisions up there. Dropping Zoom Zoom and replacing it with Kodo and Skyactive may technically be the better choice but
And the iconic Mazda MX-5 Japanese sports car lives on as Mazda announce their new facelift for the car that kept the roadster bug infecting people. With this update, Mazda took the refreshing wand to both the soft and hardtop versions of the MX-5 (or Miata as some may now it). For the moment, the

The Leipzig Auto Show isn’t a very important event in the motor show calendar and that’s fine, we’re not bothered about it too much. We should however, because just look at what Mazda unveiled at the 2012 Auto Mobil International Show (AMI) in Leipzig, Germany, on Friday. It’s called the Mazda MX-5 Yusho and while
As we know, the Japanese at Mazda have told us that the RX-8 sports car is taking its final ride before production is stopped. The Mazda RX-8 Spirit R was meant to be the end of the road back then. Now however things have changed just a little bit due to high demand in Japan.
It seems that the Japanese people from Mazda will quit offering the CX-7 crossover in the United States, the poor sales being the main reason for this decision. With the introduction of the new CX-5 in the States, the older CX-7 is one step closer to its retiring from this market. At the beginning, the
