Several Mazda bloggers have reported that 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miatas are becoming a rare commodity and are hardly ever seen on dealerships anymore. This model roadster is being sold in very small numbers each month; in fact, in March only 532 of them were sold in the U.S. market – 30% down from March 2014. Sources say that this is due to the fact that the manufacturer began taking pre-orders for the 2016 model Miata roadsters. The upgraded model is planned to launch this upcoming June and very few will be immediately available. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

The Mazda Motor Corporation recently unveiled the “Bike by KODO concept” and “Sofa by KODO concept.” The Mazda design language has been carried over to several objects and will be showcased at the “Mazda Design: The Car as Art,” in the Italian City of Milan which opened this week. This art exhibit aims to further the evolution of the expression of motion by attempting the expression of two key sensibilities rooted in Japanese aesthetics. The Bike by KODO concept truly enraptures the simplistic structure that is composed of the least possible number of parts; while the Sofa by KODO concept was a collaborative effort between Mazda’s designers and Italian furniture makers which blends Mazda’s sense of style and design with a long-tradition of furniture making. “Over the past few years, design has become an essential part of who we are, adding an artistic value to the entire Mazda brand experience,” said Masahiro Moro, Mazda’s Managing Executive Officer, in charge of Global Marketing, Customer Service and Sales Innovation. “As such, it only makes sense that we introduce our design messages here in Milan, a city of the apex of the design world, in order to elevate our brand image. Moving forward, we will create more opportunities to familiarize customers with Mazda and Mazda design in order to raise the value of our brand and strengthen our bond with customers.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

The Catfish compromises of a swoopy fiberglass body boldted onto a stiff space frame and  the complete drivetrain and suspension from an NA or NB Miata. This resulting “baby exotic” weighs over 600lbs less than the Miata NB donor car and, with power figures of 260 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, is over twice as fast, reaching 60 MPH from zero in just over four seconds.  Essentially like driving a very well-engineered rollerskate, the Catfish gulps down swaths of road in a blur, but still has that essential Miata feel.
