When is the last time you saw this iconic sports car on the road?! I was pretty excited to find this very special 1979 Mazda RX7. The gal I bought it from had owned the car since new, but when family matters (kids) got in the way, she parked the car around 1994. There it stayed garaged for 20 years until she decided to part with it. The car is completely stock and unmodified. Still sporting it's shiny mostly original paint and black vinyl interior in excellent shape. This is a highly optioned car, fitted with sunroof, AC and auto transmission. 1979 is the first year of the RX7, and the only year in it's pure form. From 1980 RX7 received numerous revisions to the body and mechanical systems. This is an unmolested car without any modifications whatsoever. The body is very straight and 100% rust free. It appears the passenger side fender was repainted at some point. Sunroof can be opened, or removed completely. Original storage pouch and wind deflector are present. New hatch struts. Windshield has a crack down low. Interior is perfect with the only flaw being 2 tears in the vinyl seats. Dash is perfect. All electrical system is in working order, including AC. Engine starts right up and has plenty of power, it smokes a bit upon cold startup, but clears up after a minute of driving. According to the research I've done this is quite normal for older rotaries, and does not pose a problem. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and really is quite sporty! Original alloy wheels with a matching spare in the trunk. Tires are older, but have full tread and hold air just fine. Braking system has new master cylinder, brake pads and flushed with new fluid. Radiator has new hoses, coolant system flush and new fluid. Pressure tested and in good order. Car always holds good temperature regardless of driving condition. New alternator, all belts, spark plugs and a fresh oil change. In short, this is a very original survivor, that is road ready and can be enjoyed as-is, or restored to full glory. My intent was to have the windshield replaced (quoted $150) and have the car painted, but plans have changed and I must concentrate on other projects. I hope this deserving car gets to a true enthusiast who will fully appreciate it. I have clear title in my name, and can arrange shipping anywhere in US if needed at buyer's expense. Thank you

Mazda2 production fires up in Mexico
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Mazda has officially kicked off production of the next-generation Mazda2 at the company's new factory in Salamanca, Mexico. Alongside the auto assembly plant, operations have also commenced at the facility's engine machining factory.
"With the start of production of the all-new Mazda2, operations underway at the engine machining plant, and an increase in our annual production capacity, we now have an even stronger production framework capable of supplying global markets with Skyactiv products of the same high quality level as those made in Japan," Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation's President Keishi Egawa said in a statement. "At the same time, we are pleased to be able to make a contribution to Mexico's further economic growth."
MMVO joins Mazda's Hofu Plant in Japan and the Auto Alliance factory in Thailand, which commenced Mazda2 production in July and September, respectively.
Mazda planning not one but two new crossovers for U.S.
Tue, Feb 12 2019Mazda has already announced plans to unveil a brand new crossover at the Geneva Motor Show, but it turns out there's another one in the pipeline set to satiate the appetites of a crossover-mad U.S. market. Speaking at the Chicago Auto Show, Mazda North America CEO Masahiro Moro told reporters the brand has another model planned for production at the $1.6 billion plant under construction with joint-venture partner Toyota in Huntsville, Ala. It'll be "a new crossover SUV which is exclusively designed for the North American market," Automotive News quoted Moro as saying. While it'll be a different product from the one debuting next month in Geneva, the two vehicles will share some architecture. The company is reportedly still finalizing the concept for it. Currently, Mazda sells three crossovers in the U.S.: the subcompact CX-3, the compact CX-5 and the larger CX-9. Together, the three vehicles, which constitute half of the tiny automaker's vehicle lineup, posted sales of 195,778 for 2018, up 15.8 percent from 2017. They accounted for nearly two-thirds of the brand's total vehicle sales of 300,325. Production is expected to start at the new Alabama plant in mid-2021, Moro said, and add capacity for 150,000 units of crossovers. The plant is expected to employ up to 4,000 workers with a total capacity of 300,000 vehicles a year. Toyota plans to build the Corolla there alongside Mazda's crossovers. Mazda last week released the teaser pic shown above of its forthcoming new crossover headed for Geneva. It could be the next and slightly larger version of the CX-3, which will use the Skyactiv Vehicle Architecture that also supports the new Mazda3.

Are you the 2016 Mazda Miata?
Mon, 11 Aug 2014Tech nerds are spoiled. Every year, there's a new iPhone that arrives following months and months of breathless speculation and rumormongering. We car folk have a more difficult life, because vehicles with the iPhone's cult-like devotion and following, while plentiful, only receive hefty updates after several years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5.
There's a new one coming, and much like the iPhone 6, it'll arrive in just a few weeks. So, in lockstep with the tech folk, we're anxiously biding our time and waiting with baited breath for the expected debut date of September 3. Also, like Apple fanboys, we're clamoring over any hint or teaser as to what the next-gen Miata will bring, which is why we're showing you the above image.
That is, allegedly, the new MX-5 hiding under the sheet. Auto Motor und Sport has the image, which according to World Car Fans was released by Mazda. Of course, we've reached out to the Zoom-Zoom brand for verification of its authenticity, and will be sure to update as soon as we hear back.
