1983 Mazda B2200 Sundowner Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 2.2l on 2040-cars
Modesto, California, United States
I feel it is my duty not only as an American but as a member of the North American Hunting Club to first warn anyone who is even thinking about considering to read this ad. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE TEMPERAMENT OF A RABID LION FRESH OFF OF THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY IN THE KITCHEN IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE HEAT THIS VEHICLE IS PUTTIN’ DOWN Well, now that we’ve got that out of the way, prepare yourself to be introduced to by far, the most awe-inspiring machine that god himself has ever graced green Earth with. A 1983 Mazda B2200 powered by the powerhouse Perkins 2.2L Diesel Engine. Yes, I did say diesel. How you ask? Ford. The 80s were a precarious time. So precarious in fact that Ford Motor Company based right here in the best country on Earth, the United States of America, decided to introduce a diesel engine in their line of small pickup trucks. Now being that Ford owns Mazda, A small amount of the diesel engine destined for the Ford Courier pickups made their way to the Mazda plant where an angel himself had the ingenuity to plop one of these bad-boy diesel engines into the mighty B2200 pickup. Now, the genius from Mazda who decided to put this diesel engine in knew that this thing would be laying down some serious manly power, and the only way to back up all that power would be to mate that bad-boy to a 5 speed manual transmission. Because real men drive with three pedals, and two hands. Another feature the Mazda angel decided to throw in was a long bed for hauling around all those heavy loads. Trust me, this diesel will haul a hefty load. Since the birth of this Mazda B2200 pickup, the few chosen ones blessed with the privilege of piloting this beast have only traveled 130,000 miles meaning that this thing has only just begun to stretch its legs. By my estimates, it has roughly two million more miles to go before the engine is even broken in. Now, let me break it down into a little list of why you need this truck Pros: It’s a diesel It’s a manual It has low miles OH YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION IT GETS 40mpg (yes FOR-TEE miles per the US Gallon) It gets all of the girls Cons: (I don’t even think these can even really be considered cons) It has a couple battle scars It will need new tires here shortly because even heroes need new shoes Also included with the purchase of this vehicle in the most custom and advanced security system anyone has ever had the pleasure of feasting their eyes upon. It has what I like to call a break-action-dislocating-assisted-single-system or, BADASS, for short. Basically, what this system does is incorporate 2, yes 2, ignition switches. I know what you're thinking….THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME! You’re assumption is correct. This double ignition system will prevent even a down on their luck doctor of electrical engineering from attempting to take off with your diesel rig. The last few things worth mentioning are very important nonetheless. To reflect the most custom anti-theft device you have ever seen, it also had to have the most custom paint job you have even seen. 100% oil-based glass white paint catches anyone’s attention and will reflect a photon beam generated by the death star itself. This monster will also include the most beastly of rear bumpers ever imagined to protect your vehicle when you do get the chance to pilot this thing into battle
In Conclusion,

Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid and CNG Concept shown in Japan
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Mazda has received a tremendous amount of public and industry praise in the last few years, following up the successful introduction of its Skyactiv technology (powertrain and otherwise), with strong products like CX-5, Mazda6 and most recently, the Mazda3. At the Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda has taken yet another step forward with Skyactiv and the 3, showing the compact (called "Axela" in Japan) with an all-new compressed natural gas engine in the Skyactiv-CNG Concept.
The end result of the Skyactiv-Hybrid is fuel consumption estimated at something like 74 miles per gallon.
Mazda thinks that CNG-powered vehicles are due for an uptick in demand, and the company believes this new powertrain will add valuable breadth to the Mazda3 range. The CNG Concept is actually a duel-fuel vehicle, capable of running on either natural gas or gasoline. In fact, we're told that the high compression ratio (14:1) inherent in Skyactiv-technology gasoline engines makes conversion to CNG particularly simple.
Next Mazdaspeed3 could look this good
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Mazda showed off its brand-new 2014 Mazda3 at an event in New York City earlier this week, and we have to say, at first blush, we're pretty impressed. It looks fantastic - like a smaller, hatch'd version of the already sleek Mazda6 sedan that went on sale earlier this year. And with a 200-pound weight reduction, efficient Skyactiv gasoline engines underhood and Mazda's usual focus on driving dynamics above all, we're willing to bet that the new Three will be a pretty decent steer.
Of course, being enthusiasts, we're already setting our sights on the next-generation Mazdaspeed3, rendered here by artist Theo Chin. To our eyes, it's not a very imaginative transformation, but is likely a spot-on rendering for what the next car will look like. And it's really, really hot.
While Mazda hasn't exactly confirmed that the new Speed3 will be coming, sources within the automaker have indicated that a third-generation version of the MS3 is under development. Thing is, the Japanese automaker wants to give the standard Mazda3 some time to grow in the market, so we might not see the new Speed3 until something like 2016, with a possible diesel version to arrive before then.
Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?
Thu, Aug 14 2014Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mazda may start making its oil-burning hybrids as soon as 2016, and the powertrain may reach fuel efficiency levels of as much as 95 miles per gallon (one the more lenient Japanese driving cycle). That'd make such a vehicle line about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than standard diesels and about eight percent more fuel efficient that the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid (known as the Aqua in Japan). Mazda has been dismissive of hybrid and electric powertrains, instead focusing on Skyactiv technology to maximize fuel efficiency from conventional gas-powered engines. Diesel powertrains account for about half of the light-duty vehicles sold in Europe each year, while Japan's diesel sales of 76,000 vehicles last year were about three times as many as were sold there in 2012. In January, Mazda said that it would delay the introduction of its Skyactiv-D diesel engine from what was to be a spring 2014 debut. The reason was to fine-tune the engine's performance/fuel economy balance. Mazda representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the diesel hybrids.
