My favorite too. I would kill for a CLS55

 

The title of the thread is confusing. Did Mazda say they were debuting a new production vehicle or a new concept vehicle? Getting excited about a new concept vehicle is false hope IMO.

 

they didnt say either way- the LA auto show announced that Xnumber of automakers had commited to WORLD Debut s at this years LA AutoShow. Mazda is not saying anythin at all yet about what it could be in public. rumours are all we really have. but recently the new Mazda6 mule has been photographed a few times a mazda 2 mule was photographed also. and there have been furthur hints at a RWD entry coupe based on the Kabura concept having been green lighted.

 

Oh how I hope that's the case. This is something I've been dreaming of. A lot of automakers borrow styling cues to differing degrees from others like Toyota trying to look more like Mazda on a few of their cars and lots of companies are copying BMWs Bangle styling (Ugly IMO). I love the CLS' flowing lines. I can only hope the new 6 has some hints of this car whenever it debuts.

 

Hooray!, I could not agree more with 'ceramicseal' Mazda have been way out in front of every and I mean every other car maker since the launch of the Mazda 6, I only hope they can keep the "theme" together in the future, about the only other make that gets my nuts itchy..... is Alfa Romeo.
BMW IMO are beautifully engineered cars but, bloody ugly, there is not one model in their current line up that you can say looks great, the Z4 coupe, YUK! the 3,5 and 6 series, boring, x3 and x5...overpriced pick ups, the only BMW that does not look like a carved block of cheese on wheels is perhaps the new 3 series coupe.
I wonder how BM sell as many of the cars that they do outside Europe, the name obviously...
I hope the new Mazda 6 is as good as the present one...IMO goes not look a day old since its release...the best looking hatchback...ever...still fresh....I know other would disagree.

 

IMO bascho most concept vehicles previewed by Mazda over the last decade or so have made it to production...just slightly altered....well you know....

MX-Crossport...CX-7
Ibuki.....NC MX-5
MX-Sport Runabout.....Mazda 2
Sassou....new Mazda 2
Evolve.....RX-8
MX-Flexa....Mazda 5
MX-Micro Sport.....Verisa (Domestic)

 

Has there been talk of the Mazda2/Ford Fiesta coming to the US market?

 

the very last thing Mazda said officially is that they had no plans for a b segment US car at this time
he was also quoted in automotive news saying the same thing.

 

Thanks Zoom.

 

Mazda never fails to let us down.

 

Yeah, I can't understand MNAO here, the Mazda 2 IS a very steady seller here at about 23% of Mazda Australia's pie. It's been on sale for close to 20 years now, previously as the 121. They are a very very light car, and competes with the usual, Honda Jazz, Suzuki Swift, Nissan Micra.

Reliability is well... typically MAZDA.

I remember MA originally did not want to market such a small light car, but, they did and the Mazda 2 is a very important part of their line up. They really handle, and have great storage, mainly a car for moms and students. I took a 2006 (this years) for a spin the other day...impressed for what they are. Dealers use them a Service loan cars..

 

im pretty sure mazda will anounce the mazdaspeed rx-8 and the kabura at the SS9 banquet

 

Why do you tease us so!?!

 

Lmao!!!!!!

 

they are working on a brand new b segment car that they wont comment about. but the reports say ford is using mazda to create its next generation bsegment car and mazda will share it. it may be built in mexico. ford moved its b segment manufacturing to mexico in advance so that it will be possible to "import" them cheaper.

 

Maybe that is why Mazda dont plan on bringing the Mazda2 over, sharing it with Ford and building it in Mexico could make it cheaper too, perfect for a little b segment car. I think we might see this in the near future in the auto show, almost every Jap manufacutuerer has a B segment car, Toyota, Honda, Nissan... Mazda needs one. They could get a decent amount of this market segment since they're pretty good with small cars, ie, mazda3, and at the price of these cars, the consumers wouldnt compare the Mazda to Toyota as strongly. The Yaris sucks anyways.

Oh, and the second gen RX-8 its coming in 2009 as a 2010 model, one year after the new 350Z

 

But something will happen at the plant to delay production and the 2010 model year won't be at the dealers until April/May of 2010

 

sadly thats something we have lear to expect

Lol

 

I wish Mazda would build a new factory. Build more Mazda3s and 6s, then give us more RWD cars!

I hope Mazda brings over the 2 or something similar. And hopefully they help Ford out, they are sucking fumes.

 

thoguht i d bump this with some news of what else might be at LA.

BMW is going to announce the 535 Diesel wagon for the US and also debut the 7series hydrogen burner and new X5 according to autoblog's Damon Lavrinc

http://www.autoblog.com/category/la-auto-show/

scroll past that article and you'll see he also wrote that Nissan will debut the new SE-r Sentra at the end of this month in LA.


no word on Mazda's debut yet though i did ask around a little at 7stock.

 

mazda its just completly silent about new vehicles, I though by now we would know what they will have at LA

 

I have honestly given up all hope.......I'm sure it's just a Mazdaspeed MPV or something else equally ghey.....:/
