Over the time, renderings of the upcoming Mazda MX-5 (earlier post) have been published and although this particular one is neither coning from Japan, nor is the latest one, I found it quite interesting.

Farewell Mazda RX-8!
Posted by godong car on Monday, 22 August 2011
Production of the RX-8 stopped in early July while the remaining inventory will be sold by the end of this year. The reasons behind Mazda's decision are related to the more strict EU emission standards which the RX-8 couldn't meet. Last year, Mazda managed to deliver just 1,134 units, a 49% decrease compared to 2009, while sales in the first half of 2011 decreased by a further 21%.

Mazda has presented the Minagi Concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and this is a clear indication of how the new CX-5 will look like. This is going to be one of the first models to be equipped with the SKYACTIV powertrains and of course, the ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language is evident. The Shinari Concept is also on display.

More speculation about MX-5 successor
Posted by godong car on Friday, 11 February 2011
Mazda is a company that I admire and I really look forward for the new MX-5 to come. The MX-5 successor (earlier post), according to the latest report coming from Japan, will be powered by a 1.5L SKYACTIV G engine with a power output of 150 PS and maximum torque of 16.0 kgm. An estimated fuel efficiency of 20.0 km/L (!) is claimed. In terms of how big is going to be, total length is expected to be 3,990 mm, width 1,695 mm and height 1,245 mm. The wheelbase should be 2,330 mm. The new MX-5 is expected to be launched in August 2012.

Nissan to sell Mazda 5 (プレマシー) variant in Japan
Posted by godong car on Saturday, 29 January 2011
In many occasions, there are agreements between Japanese manufacturers for selling rebadged versions in Japan, but this time I think it's a bit bizarre. There was an announcement yesterday that Nissan will sell its own version of Mazda's 5 model (aka Premacy プレマシー). Although Nissan claims that its version will be clearly differentiated, I am really curious to see what will happen to the Nagare-inspired waves that stretch across Mazda's 5 side...

Posted by godong car on Friday, 21 January 2011
Latest rumours coming from Japan suggest that the RX-8 successor, which is very likely to be called RX-9, is going into production in 2014. As already posted, the 16X Wankel engine under development is 30% more fuel efficient that the RX-8's engine and expect it to produce around 300 ps.

Mazda RX-7 (SA22C, FC3S & FD3S) scale models arrived!
Posted by godong car on Wednesday, 12 January 2011
Next are the Mazda RX-7 models, including the Savanna RX-7 (SA22C) Limited 1979, the Savanna RX-7 (FC3S) Infini (earlier post) and the RX-7 (FD3S) Type R Bathurst X 1995 (earlier post) models. All of them are made by Kyosho and to be honest, I believe Ebbro is slightly better in terms of detail. However, the Kyosho 1/43 scale models with opening parts are very impressive...
More photos after the jump!

Live photos of SKYACTIV components
Posted by godong car on Monday, 3 January 2011
Back in October 2010, Mazda released details about its next-gen powertrain technologies, called SKYACTIV (earlier post). Although nothing new has been published, I came across with some live photos showing the new SKYACTIV components, or at least some of them, which I found interesting.
