New car from MAZDA

-->

Mazda is a Japanese automaker producing a full-line of cars and CUVs for sale in the US

Though the company was founded in 1927, it didn't start producing cars until 1931. Entry
into the US market happened in 1970 with the RX-2. Known for its use of Wankel rotary
engines, Mazda also sells the iconic MX-5 Miata roadster. Ford Motor Company has held a
stake in Mazda since 1979 that now stands at three percent.

Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to
introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to
several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to

introduce its new car this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.

Aside from what we've seen in recent spy shots and what appeared to be a full-scale design
mockup back in October, there is little information about the third-generation 3, but we can
see that the car will get plenty of cues from Mazda's stylish Kodo design car, and we expect
even more technologies from the company's SkyActiv efficiency program to come to bear. AN
says that Mazda is hoping to top 300,000 sales this year in the US, and the sooner Mazda can
replace the current aging 3, the better chances it has at reaching that goal.
