2010 Mazdaspeed3
Born of Japanese origins, Mazda established itself in 1971 to begin American sales of the Mazda brand. Its focus was to build vehicles that were economical in price and maintenance, but were still rich in performance and laden with safety features. Their ongoing devotion to achieve this has yielded many popular models that routinely outperform the competition within their class.
Some of the more notable successes in America are the Mazda 3 models, along with the high-performance but not high-priced MAZDASPEED3. Throughout its American presence, Mazda has reaped many accolades from many automotive authorities, including the Truck of the Year award for their CX-9 in January of 2008 from no less than 47 automotive journalists, asserting proof of the CX-9’s excellence and Mazda’s overall commitment to performance and quality.
Mazda’s sales volume in the US reached 296,000 units in 2007 – a testament to the growing popularity and value of the entire brand. As they move forward with the same challenging spirit that made Mazda the world leader in rotary engines, it is their aim to continue to be a company that is trusted and appreciated throughout the world.
I think the new Mazda 3 is cool.
