Mazda CX-7 bites the dust

What, you thought that there was room for both the CX-5 and the CX-7? Nonsense. After all, the CX-7 was always on the small side for a midsize CUV. The CX-5 is hardly a midget, and the two are nearly the same size overall. The CX-5 actually has more interior room – both for cargo [...]

Recall Alert: 2001-2002 Mazda Tribute

Are you the semi-proud owner of a 2001-2002 Mazda Tribute? Good for you. Bad for your brake master cylinder. Some Tributes from these model years could leak brake fluid. This fluid could possibly come into contact with some wiring, potentially causing a fire. Brake fluid leaking. Fires. Not good stuff. Mazda is sending out notices [...]

Thumbnail image for 2013 Mazda CX-5 Review – Autoblog

Autoblog takes the brand new, SKYACTIV-powered 2013 CX-5 for a spin, and this is what they have to say: But the CX-5 is a crossover that begs to be driven with passion.

Officially you’re looking at the Mazda Minagi concept. Officially. In reality, this is almost definitely a very close approximation of what we’ll come to know as the 2012 Mazda CX5. Since Ford and Mazda don’t play nice anymore, Ford isn’t going to be building the Tribute after this model year. With a gap in the [...]

Mazda CX-5

Check out this as yet unnamed small Mazda CUV that Autoblog snagged some pictures of. For now, let’s stick with Mazda’s current naming conventions and call it the CX5. In fact, that may be too confusing, given the presence of the Mazda 5 and MX-5. That’s part of the problem with this alphabet soup / [...]
