Mazda is jumping on the coupe-like crossover bandwagon with a new model called the CX-4. A single teaser shot has been released ahead of the CX-4’s world debut next month at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. Sales will start later this year meaning we’ll most likely see the vehicle arrive as...

Mazda has confirmed plans to debut a new model at the 2016 New York Auto Show taking place later this month. No details have been provided other than this being a “world premiere” and a car that will “blow the lid off.” That latter descriptor suggests that the car in...

I hear it all the time: "I put my sports car away for the winter. It doesn't do winter. It can't. It's rear-wheel drive." I've even heard this from Mazda Miata drivers. To every one of them I say this: You're wrong. Full disclosure: Mazda flew me out to beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado, put me up...

You knew this was coming... The mad minds at Flyin' Miata must've been wringing their hands and drooling ever since the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ND, came into production. After all, these are the folks who taken previous generations of the small Japanese convertible sports car and...

Normally, a vehicle like the Mazda CX-9 isn’t reason to get excited but we’d say the opposite is true for the latest 2016 model. On show this week at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2016 Mazda CX-9 sports one of the most impressive three-row crossover designs, and if that...

When you run into an old friend after 15 years, can you pick up like no time’s been lost? Reunions are something I normally don’t do. The open-all-night nostalgia factory that is Facebook has pretty much killed them, anyway. But I am all about your serendipity, your stunning...

Mazda has unveiled a pair of concepts at the SEMA show currently underway in Las Vegas that are meant to demonstrate two different takes on lightweight, open-top performance.

At the recent 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda rolled out a stunning sports car concept powered by a rotary engine said to be more fuel efficient than any previous rotary design. Unfortunately, no technical details were revealed for the engine, which has adopted Mazda’s SkyActiv moniker for...

Mazda has been hinting at a new rotary for pretty much the last decade yet it seems that we’re still no closer to seeing the unique, Wankel-designed engine fitted to one of the automaker’s cars. The last rotary-powered Mazda was the RX-8, which bowed out of production back in 2012...

It was only a month ago that I drove the fourth-generation (ND) Mazda Miata on the canyon roads of Southern California and wrote a First Drive review for Motor Authority. In that review I concluded that the Miata is an absolutely fabulous car with plenty of power, brilliant handling, and a ride...
