Both corporations have decided to join forces in order to leverage each other's resources and build better cars for the future.

U.S. fans looking forward to the release of the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will be pleased to know that the sports car will not only be lighter than its predecessor, but also 25 percent more fuel efficient.

As a part of this year's Milan Design Week, Mazda opened an exclusive exhibit "Mazda Design: The Car as Art," where they unveiled their newest creations, "Sofa by KODO concept" and "Bike by KODO concept." Based off of Mazda's signature KODO design language, the artworks are a different representation of the brand's fluid motion styling and sheds new light on Mazda's capabilities.
Mazda is the official winner of KBB.com's 2015 Brand Image Award for "Best Car Styling Brand." The popular automaker's KODO - Soul of Motion design language, which first arrived on the Mazda CX-5, can be attributed to its recent Kelley Blue Book win. Additional upcoming 2016 models, including the Mazda6, Mazda3, Mazda CX-3 and Mazda MX-5 Miata, will also feature the brand's highly praised styling.
Mazda continues to prove why it's a leading brand in the automotive industry, earning KBB.com awards for the 2015 Mazda CX-5 and MX-5. The former model made KBB's "10 Most Fun SUVS" and "10 Best All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles Under $25,000" list, while the latter nabbed a spot on the "10 Coolest Cars Under 25,000" list. Available now at Reliable Mazda, both models represent the spirit, reliability and value associated with the Mazda brand.
The all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is almost here and so far we've heard nothing but great things about it. One of latest and most impressive reveals about the upcoming next-generation model is that it weighs a mere two pounds more than the first-generation model from the '90s. A rarity for a car these days due to the onslaught of new technology and components outfitted on models, this weight accomplishment will highly benefit the 2016 Miata's performance.
Mazda North American Operations has ranked second among all other brands in a recent leading consumer publication's new car issue. The widely known manufacturer was praised for its lineup of innovative, high-quality cars and SUVs that stand out in their segments due to Mazda's incredibly dynamic SKYACTIV Technology.
Kelley Blue Book's annual "5-Year Cost to Own Awards" have been handed out and three Mazda models, the 2015 Mazda5, 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata & 2015 Mazda6, each received one of the prestigious accolades. Boasting incredible long-term value and low depreciation, the cars were clear winners in their respective categories. All three models represent the brand's high-quality craftsmanship and are on sale at Reliable Mazda.
The highly praised Mazda3 was lucky enough to be honored by Kiplinger Personal Finance in their annual 2015 Best Value Awards. Included in the under $20,000 category, the Mazda3 was named "Best-in-Class" for its incredible value and affordability. This marks the second time the Mazda3 has been recognized for its value in the past year. Just last February, the 2014 model was included in U.S. News & World Report's "Best Car for the Money" awards, along with the fully capable Mazda5.
When Mazda first announced they would release a diesel version of their popular midsize sedan, the Mazda6, in North America, longtime fans of the automaker were excited about the model. The goal was to have the car out on the market by 2013, but emissions issues put the company's plans on hold. At the time, many thought the diesel version would never see the light of day, but just recently, Mazda's North American CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, has revealed that's simply not true.
