Spy Shots: 2015 Mazda2 spotted on the road 1397571300
When Mazda unveiled the Hazumi Concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, our excitement for the next Mazda2 increased considerably. The Hazumi looks to retain much of the driving character that makes the current 2 one of the very best cars in its segment while infusing it with more aggressive styling. Of course, when the 2 arrives, it won't look exactly like ...

Long Term: 2014 Mazda6: Winter's End Update How I Used All The Grip The Six Could Offer (And Some Luck) 1397491020
The Winter Without End is seemingly dead. Outside my office windows, my brown and yellow lawn is fully exposed to the increasingly powerful sunshine, the morning birdsong is louder than anything until the garbage trucks start rolling, and I'm seriously considering having the summer tires put back on my personal fleet. That last one is a little scary, as ...

Report: Will Mazda show the next Miata's chassis in NY? 1395430980
Mazda is being very sneaky about what it is bringing to the New York Auto Show, and it might have something to do with the next-generation MX-5 Miata. Australian website Motoring.com.au spoke to a company insider who told the Aussie publication that at least the chassis for the roadster will debut in Manhattan. As the rumor goes, the show will act as a ...

Report: Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim [UPDATE] 1395156600
UPDATE: We've updated this post to include quotes and information from Eric Booth, Senior Manager of Public Relations at Mazda USA. Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling ...

Report: Mazda goes on engineer hiring binge as recovery picks up speed 1394463720
Japan's larger automakers – companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan – have tremendous engineering talent at their disposal. That's largely because, selling as many cars as they do, they've got more revenues to tap into. Logic might dictate, then, that smaller automakers like Mazda, which no longer has the deep pockets afforded to it by its ...

Official: World Car of the Year finalists announced 1394236740
To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards. We reported ...

Mazda says 83 percent of new cars bear Skyactiv moniker 1394197080
Mazda's US sales are down a little bit but the company's fuel economy is almost assuredly up. That's because its fuel-saving Skyactiv drivetrain technology is essentially taking over US vehicles sales. To the tune of about five out of every six vehicles sold, at least. While the Japanese automaker's US sales in February fell 2.4 percent from a year ...

Geneva: Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos] 1393965600
The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show.

While Mazda refuses ...

The official images Mazda Hazumi concept, which previews the next-generation Mazda2, have leaked out from Chinese website Auto.sohu.com ahead of its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

Report: Fiat reconsidering Mazda-based Alfa Romeo roadster? [w/poll] 1393858800
Alfa giveth and Alfa taketh away. With apologies to Job (he has gone through a lot, after all), that's how things are looking at the Italian automaker – whether it's the promise of new products or its impending return to the North American market. But it's especially true when it comes to new roadsters. While Alfa Romeo is expected to unveil the 4C ...

Official: Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3 1393352940
To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales.

Report: Mazda Hazumi Concept shows up ahead of Geneva 1393343940
Last week, Mazda officially teased its Geneva-bound Hazumi concept, showing little more than an aggressive headlamp design.

In Mazda's original release from last week, we were told that the name "Hazumi" means "spring up" ...

Official: Mazda Hazumi concept presages next Mazda2 1392992880
Looks like Mazda's big Geneva Motor Show debut is actually something quite small. Teased here, the Hazumi concept "points the way to the future" for the brand's subcompact offering, the Mazda2. Details are slim as of this writing, but from what we can see in the image above, the Hazumi will use the same Kodo design language found on the Mazda3, Mazda6 and ...
