Mazda Finishes Strong in the Month of July

Mazda Finishes Strong in the Month of July This week, Mazda reported its earnings for July and they are proving to be doing rather well. Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) reported to have sold 29,238 vehicles last month – this represents a 17.1% increase in sales versus last year. Additionally, Mazda year-to-date sales are also up 9.3% compared to last year, with 185,669 vehicles sold. "Mazda3, Mazda6 and Mazda CX-5 continue to show strong gains month after month as more and more customers realize the benefits of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY," said Ron Stettner, vice president of sales, MNAO. "Mazda hasn't sold this many vehicles in the month of July since 1993. A big part of that success is building the brand and showing customers that buying a Mazda isn't buying an economy car on discount, it is buying a near-premium experience for a great value."

Mazda Evolves Kodo Design Language

Mazda Evolves Kodo Design Language Mazda’s new MX-5 will soon debut and we will get a better understanding of the latest design language that first appeared on the Shinari Concept in 2010. Mazda executives who have had the opportunity to see the next-generation roadster refuse to provide any insight but have confirmed that the new model will look nothing like the previous generations. The latest Kodo design language can be seen on the Mazda6, Mazda3, Mazda2 and the CX-5. However, sources are saying that the 2015 MX-5 will feature a more evolved version of the new design language. Furthermore, there have been claims that the roadster will adopt a new face, one that is completely different from the current “family face.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Sources say that there have been speculations in regards to this new powertrain being available on the new generation Mazda3. Mazda will soon bring the diesel fever over to the United States – a spokesperson for Mazda assured us that they are committed to delivering clean diesel technology in North America, however, there has been no time frame released.

Mazda CX-9 to launch in 2016 with Turbocharged Engine

Mazda CX-9 to launch in 2016 with Turbocharged Engine

Mazda CX-9 to launch in 2016 with Turbocharged Engine Mazda has released information on the next highly anticipated Mazda redesigned vehicle. The next generation Mazda CX-9 has adopted a new attitude and style – unlike the current model, the 2016 model will strut a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Although this may be a costly decision for the automaker, downsizing engines seems reasonable from a cost post of view. “If I ask Mr. Hitomi, our top guy of powertrains at Mazda, he believes the downsizing turbo solution costs more. But the real downsizing means six cylinder turbo could make sense from a cost point of view,” said Mazda’s Global Marketing Chief, Masahiro Moro.

Mazda CX-9 ReviewT

Reviewers say that while the 2014 Mazda CX-9's cabin lacks the refinement of some of its rivals, it is one of the most fun-to-drive midsize SUVs on the market.

The Mazda CX-9 is powered by a V6 engine that reviewers say has ample power for both city driving and highway passing. Power is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission that is praised for its quick shifts. Fuel economy is up to an EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg city/highway, which is OK for the class. Reviewers praise the CX-9 for its athletic handling, which they think makes it one of the most engaging SUVs to drive in the segment. Reviewers also say the CX-9’s ride quality is refined, though some caution that models with the optional 20-inch wheels can ride a bit harshly. The CX-9’s brakes are praised for offering plenty of stopping power, and test drivers like the CX-9’s responsive steering system.

Several critics comment that the CX-9’s interior is constructed with materials that are hard to the touch, and some dislike the small touch screen that controls audio and navigation functions. They say that the screen’s small size can make it difficult to see, and that it is sometimes slow to respond to commands. Reviewers say the front- and second-row seats offer plenty of leg- and headroom, but say the third row is rather cramped. Cargo space is fairly good for the class, though rivals like the Chevrolet Traverse offer more maximum cargo space. The CX-9 comes with standard features that include tri-zone automatic climate control, a six-speaker stereo and Bluetooth. Major options include a backup camera, navigation, a 10- or 11-speaker Bose stereo system, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and rear parking sensors.

Mazda Classic

Mazda Classic

Mazda Classic The Japanese classics have begun to be recognized in the United States – some have been a great success in the past and continue to today, while others didn’t make it to production. The Toyota 2000GT has a price tag of over $1 million today and will continue to increase every year. The Datsun 510 and Z unfortunately do not receive the same recognition because of its importation accessibility in the past and plentiful supply – however, if the car has a recognizable past or history, the car could increase its value. The Mazda Cosmo, on the other hand, was not easily attained to prospective U.S. buyers – only six or less Mazda Cosmo Series II or Cosmo Sport vehicles were imported to the United States. This vehicle was very rare and continues to be difficult to attain. Celebrity, Jay Leno, is one of three owners in the United States.
