Houston Cars

Spy photographers managed to nap a few shots of the upcoming Mazda3.  The car is so heavily covered up there’s really no way to glean any details.
Since there’s nothing concrete with regards to specs, it’s all guesswork at this point.  Since I’m in the car business, I’ll make a few educated guesses. Here’s what [...]

The Hollywood Extra has a preview of what appears to be the next generation, 2009 Mazda 3.  Besides the fact that the picture is of a hatchback, it’s a pretty good looking car.  No word on hardware just yet, but I have no doubts that it will be competitive.  The interior is sure to [...]

The Mazda CX-9 got honors as the Motor Trend 2008 SUV of the Year - and not surprisingly. This is the Year of the Crossover, and the CX-9 is a pretty darn good example of what a large CUV should be. Decent handling, decent fuel economy, and good interior quality combined with room [...]

Mazda will be officially introducing the 2008 Mazda6 in all it’s glory at the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show, but they did leak a whole bunch of pics for your enjoyment. There will be three differently body styles - sedan, hatchback, and wagon. There’s no official word on which we’ll see here in [...]

Mazda released a sneak peak at their upcoming redesigned 2009 Mazda6 - a car that the automotive world is waiting for with open arms.  When the Mazda6 first debuted, it was a real head turner - both in style and performance.  Now that the competition has redesigned their own models, the current Mazda6 is a bit stale and [...]

There hasn’t been a shortage of new Mazda 6 coverage here, and today the latest and best-yet spy shots have surfaced.  The jury is still out on whether this will be a 2008 or 2009 model, but I’m thinking 2008 at this point.  This new batch of spy pics show off the 6’s new wheels, [...]

What you’re looking at is the Kabura concept, and potentially a brand new Mazda RX-7 - something enthusiasts have been clamoring for for quite some time. Let’s face it - the RX-8 isn’t flawless, and isn’t exactly a powerhouse of a car.
What can we expect from a new RX-7? Well specs are [...]

The 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 is the go-fast version of Mazda’s popular Mazda 3 sedan / hatchback. Unfortunately Mazda is only producing the Mazdaspeed 3 in hatchback form - I think they’d sell a lot more if the sedan was available.
The regular Mazda 3 with the 2.3 liter four banger is a blast to [...]

Previously, we showed a spy shot of the 2008 Mazda 6.  Today we show you several high-resolution photos of the next generation Mazda 6 - though it’s referrred to as a 2009 Mazda 6 now.  I’m not sure what model year this new car will be - but it is very much needed to [...]

The Mazda 6 has been a huge hit for Mazda overall, despite the confused name ( Is it a Mazda 6 or a Mazda Mazda 6? ). The underpinnings for the Mazda 6 now power quite a few vehicles in the Ford and Mazda lineup.
The 2008 Mazda6 will share it’s platform with the [...]

After the Mazda2 spyshot we showed you yesterday, here are some better, official shots for you to enjoy.  I can’t help but see Kia Rio Cinco when I look at this car.  Plus I still fail to see the point of the vehicle, considering the many hatchback / wagon variants in the Mazda lineup.  [...]

Here in the States, we don’t even know what a Mazda 2 is.  The Mazda2 is a small hatchback type vehicle that is currently sold is Europe and Asia.  The US hasn’t been a terribly strong hatchback market historically, and there’s no word yet on whether we’ll see the Mazda2 here.  If I had to [...]

The 2007 CX-9 is Mazda’s newest entry in the crossover utility vehicle segment. Larger than the CX-7, and with seating for up to 7, the CX-9 is a rough replacement for the retired MPV. Originally the Mazda5 was supposed to fill this slot, but I think we can all agree that car [...]
