The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Features Easy-to-Fold Convertible Top

Mazda 2 easy to fold power top

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 roadster launched a few months ago and although the Miata lost its power hardtop, it features a new, easy-to-fold convertible top. Mazda makes it easy to drop the top in a single one-handed movement. Joe Bruzek, a road test editor, said: “You can drop the top in a single one-handed swoop, and raise it just as easily. I’d take this over any slow-moving power trop with its lightness and one-step raise and lower process.” Now it’s easy and quick to throw the top off and cruise with the top down without leaving the driver’s seat.

Mazda Unveils Koeru Crossover SUV in Frankfurt

Mazda recently took the covers off the Koeru Crossover SUV concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The concept features strong design curves and broad strokes. This model will most likely preview the upcoming Mazda CX-9. The Koeru was equipped with blacked-out A-pillars which give it a floating roof line. In the images that have surfaced online, it is apparent that the new model will be much closer to the ground, making the crossover appear much sportier and compact than any current model. In the front, the Koeru features some of the same designs as the Mazda6 – dominated by a large front grille. As new information surfaces, regarding this new concept, Cardinale Mazda in Salinas will be sure to keep you updated.

Mazda Miata Undergoes Sexy Redesign

One of Cardinale Mazda’s most popular vehicles has been, and continues to be, the Mazda Miata; this model has undergone a massive redesign for the 2016 model year. Mazda has designed one of the best-selling sports cars in the world and they don’t take that lightly. In fact, the automaker has been hesitant to make big changes to the model because their philosophy is: “Why change something that isn’t broken.” The biggest changes can be found under underneath the vehicle’s exterior. The chassis has been redone to allow the vehicle to be almost perfectly balanced in weight. The 2016 Miata shed some weight, improved its engine response an designed the best manual convertible top ever designed by the Japanese automaker.
