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 [...]

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review – Autoblog

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. We spent hours caning it along the curved roads of the Angeles National Forest, and in these instances, the Miata theory of excellent [...]

2012 Mazda CX-5 to start around $20k

Thumbnail image for 2012 Mazda CX-5 to start around $20k

In not-too-surprising news, Mazda has announced that the 2012 CX-5 will start right around $20,000. Since it’s smaller than the CX-7, which starts around $23k, this is a no-brainer. The big news, though, is that we should start seeing CX-5′s on dealer’s lots early next year. Under the hood (at least as an option) will [...]

The long-awaited Tribute replacement (in spirit, anyway) CX–5 is finally, finally official. It’s been rumored for seemingly forever, and there were even some heavily-covered spy shots floating around. Mazda must be looking to build excitement around this all-new vehicle, because they published a (small) set of photos of the new CUV. I suppose it looks [...]

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 / [...]

2012 Mazda5 Preview

Mazda skipped building a 2011 Mazda5, in preparation for the all new 2012 Mazda5. So far we can only see the side / back and the dash – but it’s clear this is a very different design. As opposed to the very safe design of the first generation, there’s definitely some more character this time [...]
