Featuring a large selection of new, pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned Mazda vehicles, and quality used vehicles, Mazda of Lake Lanier is the smart alternative to other Mazda dealers serving the Atlanta Georgia area.
Now in its 25th year and on the market in its current form since 2005, theMazda MX-5 Miatahas been due for replacement for some time now. A mid-life facelift helped things along some in 2008, but the moment that roadster enthusiasts have been anxiously awaiting is almost upon us.
Mazdahas now confirmed that the 2016 MX-5 will be officially unveiled on September 3 in Monterey, CA (at the nearbyMazda Raceway Laguna Seca, perhaps?) just ahead of the "Miatas at Mazda Raceway" event, where the Japanese automaker will also display "an array of heritage, concept and motorsports MX-5s," just as it did alongside the upcoming new roadster's Skyactiv chassis at theNew York Auto Show.
Not to leave the European and Asian markets out of the fun, Mazda will simultaneously unveil the new Miata in Spain and Japan as well. But in the meantime you can view the teaser video and press releasebelowto keep that excitement drummed up.
Small cars may be big business, but the world's automakers don't seem to be in any particular rush to keep them fresh. The newSmart Fortwounveiled yesterday replaces a model that's already been around for seven years, one based on a structure dating back to the late '90s. The newOpel Corsarevealed just last week replaces a model that had been around for eight years. And theMazda2has been on the market in its current form for seven years now, but not for much longer, becauseMazdahas finally revealed its successor.
Set to be unveiled at theParis Motor Showthis October, the new Mazda2 follows the stylistic lead of this year'sHazumi conceptremarkably close, from the sharply creased front end right down to the wheel design – bringing the supermini hatchback in line with the KODO design language that characterizes its bigger siblings: theMazda3,Mazda6andCX-5.
Although details released thus far are rather limited, and power will vary from one market to another, engine options center around a 1.5-liter four in both gasoline and diesel versions, joining the manual and automatic transmissions and the chassis itself under Mazda's Skyactiv technology umbrella. We wouldn't expect the diesel version to make it across the Pacific (or across the border from the plant that will build it alongside a newToyotahatch in Mexico), but rumors have surfaced of apotential rotary hybrid. The new 2 will also include the company's MZD connectivity suite and i-Activsense safety technology.
Also sold as the Demio in certain regions (like the Japanese Domestic Market), the new Mazda2 represents a vital product for Mazda, which has sold over 2.4 million of them since the model line's introduction 1996. Production has already begun at Mazda's plant in Hofu near Hiroshima, Japan. Scope out the videos and press releasebelowfor a closer look.
