	Mazda's Duratec HE
		Mazda Motor Corporation's new family of 4-cylinder engines is the latest in a new range of powertrains that will establish Mazda as Ford Motor Company's center of excellence for all large I-4 gasoline engine development.
		Displacement variations for Mazda's new family of engines are achieved by increasing bore size (87.5 mm for the 2.0-liter versus 83.0 mm for the 1.8-liter) while keeping the common stroke length of 83.1 mm for the 2.0-liter and 1.8-liter.
		Mazda's use of S-VT and balance shaft in the 2.3-liter version of the company's new family of 4-cylinder engines provides the Mazda 6 an extra level of refinement and another level of NVH reduction.

	Mazda Truck Review: 2006 Mazda B-Series Pickup - Edmunds.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Unless the Mazda name holds a special place in your heart, there's no reason to consider the 2006 Mazda B-Series Truck when there are several equally capable and infinitely more modern competitors available for the same price.
		In a reversal of previous fortunes, Mazda was forced to rely on Ford to provide a basis for the B-Series, and it was recast as a modified Ford Ranger for the 1994 model year.
		The 2006 Mazda B-Series is a good performer off-road, but the lack of an optional off-road package means you'll have to go to the aftermarket to outfit it properly for trail duty.

		While many of the components beneath the five-door body shell come from the Mazda6 sedan, this crossover sport utility vehicle is an all-new addition to the Mazda lineup (Ford also gets its own version of the vehicle in the form of the Edge).
		Underpinning the new Mazda CUV are components - platform and especially powertrain - from the sportiest version of the mid-sized Madza6, the Mazdaspeed6, which offers up such things as a 244-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
		Mazda says the CX-7 offers "zoom-zoom with room." While it's not inexpensive, especially compared to some of its CUV competitors, it comes with a very strong and performance-oriented powertrain and is very well equipped.

		Even though Mazda expects the 5 to be a relatively low-volume seller when it launches stateside, city families, as in New Yorkers and San Franciscans, need street parking, too.

		But even the mighty Le Mans race (which Mazda is the only Japanese manufacturer to have ever won the overall competition - 1991, with the four-rotor powered Mazda 787B) can't claim itself to be the longest closed-course endurance race.
		The 1992 Mazda Miata of Team TC Motorsports, driven by Andrew Caddell, Carlo Sparacio, Taryn Sparacio, and Will Schrader, completed 641 laps to finish second in class and an impressive 7th overall.
		Because of the timing of the event (December 3-4, 2005) relative to the newness of the 2006 MX-5s (the 2006 Mazda MX-5 went on sale only a few months prior to the race), the team would be facing the many unknowns associated with a brand new platform that has never been raced before.
