Presenting the 2014 Mazda, Car of the Year.

2014 Mazda3 Car of the Year

Since its debut earlier this year, the 2014 Mazda3 has exhibited a somewhat magnetic quality. Drivers have undoubtedly been drawn to the quick-action SkyActiv powertrain, and anyone with a sense of style has found their gaze captured by the still-motion effect of Mazda’s KODO design language.

Everyday drivers and onlookers, however, have not been the only parties attracted by the Mazda3. Auto analysts throughout the entire industry have felt Mazda3’s pull on their attention—and their most coveted awards as well. Earlier in the year Yahoo! ranked the new Mazda as Best Compact Car, and most recently AutoGuide.com awarded the 2014 Mazda3 Car of the Year honors. Read the rest of this entry >>

The 2014 Mazda5 minivan is built to challenge the status quo.

2014 Mazda5 Minivan

Designing a minivan seems relatively simple. Consider the look of every minivan you’ve seen in the last 20 years. Though many models have rounded out a corner here or there, the category is predictable and ripe with parody.

Designing a Mazda, however, is a different story. Mazdas are distinctive, rising above the accusation of imitation. The 2014 Mazda5 minivan is a compelling intersection of these two design tendencies. On one hand drivers hold preconceived expectations for what a minivan should be, while the other hand fully expects Mazda to break the mold and rock the status quo. Read the rest of this entry >>

A trip to the Mazda Museum sounds like the perfect gift for fans of the zoom-zoom performance brand. While it would certainly be nice to walk down the halls of Mazda memory lane, there is one problem for stateside enthusiasts—the Mazda Museum is located in Hiroshima, Japan.

Though a trip to Japan would be likely be a positively life-changing experience, most Americans aren’t in an economic position that would allow for approximately 30 hours of round-trip international flight time. Fortunately for both historic fans of the rotary engine and modern SkyActiv devotees, anyone with an Internet connection can now experience the Mazda Museum in Google Street View.

The RX-7 celebrates a 40-year anniversary in 2018. Many hope to see a full return for Mazda rotary engine production by that time.

Mazda Rotary Engine Production

Mazda is almost synonymous with the rotary-style Wankel engine. The popular configuration was introduced with the Mazda Cosmo at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1963 and had been featured most recently in the 2011-model RX-8. When the RX-8 was removed from the automaker’s lineup that calendar year, Mazda rotary engine production went with it. The Mazda family of vehicles was without a rotary-powered automobile for the first time in a long while. Read the rest of this entry >>
