Commemorating an Automotive Legend
Forty years ago, Mazda accomplished an engineering feat that has yet to be repeated. Now after more than 1.96 million vehicles sold worldwide, Mazda is commemorating its rotary engine with the release of the 2008 RX-8 - 40th Anniversary Edition*. This very distinctive sports car has never been more exceptional.

Exclusive 18-inch highly reflective Dark Silver chrome aluminum wheels, blue- tinted fog lights
40th Anniversary Rotary Engine emblazoned, silver-colored engine cover.
Bose® 9-speaker 300-watt sound system with in-dash 6-CD changer.
Signature 1.3L RENESIS 6-port rotary engine with 232-hp boasts a stunning, unmatched 9000-rpm redline
Sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein® dampers, exclusively designed for this limited-edition RX-8 - 40th Anniversary Edition, provides sharp handling and precise control.
Urethane foam-filled front suspension cross member ideally suppresses the engine's vibrations, delivering high-quality Zoom-Zoom steering.

Aussie Mazda MX-5 Miata specs leak suggests power loss

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mazda's 2016 MX-5 Miata reveal didn't include much in the way of specifications, but the car's debut seems to have blown the lid off of the rumormill, with the latest word out of Australia including fresh claims of curb weight and engine output.
Before delving into the findings from Motoring.com, we're going to take a moment to find a few grains of salt. It's not that we don't trust the Oz publication, it's just that we wouldn't be surprised to learn their car's specifications will vary from that of our eventual North American car.
Of course, we don't expect the footprint of the new ND model to itself to differ much - it will still be the most compact Miata ever - overall length is expected to check in at just over 154 inches - that's about 1.4 inches shorter than the original NA Miata and over 4 inches shorter than today's NC generation, yet it'll ride atop a longer wheelbase and be slightly wider while sitting lower to the ground.

2014 Mazda6: June 2013

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The 2014 Mazda6 is our most recent addition to the Autoblog long-term fleet, and we spent the month of June getting to know our Soul Red tester, generally enjoying the honeymoon phase of this twelve-month relationship. During June, the Mazda6 spent the majority of its time with director of photography Drew Phillips, who in addition to putting together this pretty gallery of our rakish long-term car, had a lot to say about it as a daily driver.
You see, not too long before Mazda delivered our long-term 6, Drew bought a 2014 CX-5 crossover to support his growing family. The CX-5 was the first vehicle to use Mazda's full suite of Skyactiv technologies, and we've generally enjoyed the good-to-drive CUV. A lot of that CX-5 goodness lies beneath the more shapely lines of this sleek Mazda6 sedan, so it's only fitting that Drew had a lot of comparisons between Mazda's two housemates during his month behind the wheel.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
