CanadianDriver: Platforms: the building blocks of cars Mazda has the ability to do this because there already exists a library of components for the parts and underlying build processes of the vehicle - the stuff customers simply do not see. Late last year Mazda took over responsibility for a new generation of subcompact cars to be sold around the world, generating annual sales of up to one million by the end of the decade. Mazda, of course, is not the only carmaker using a "platform strategy" to create a variety of models from the same set of underpinnings, all sharing as much as 60 to 70 per cent of the same parts. www.canadiandriver.com /articles/jc/platform.htm   (1613 words)

Moldova.org - Auto - News - Mazda Beginning with the third-generation 2006 model, Mazda consolidated worldwide marketing using the MX-5 name, though enthusiasts in the U.S.A. steadfastly refer to it as a Miata, a name that means "reward" in Old High German.

Six Two Six: the unofficial history Mazda still being Mazda, a version was briefly offered with four-wheel steering, the amount of rear steer depending upon vehicle speed. Mazda took a beating in the marketplace in the early Nineties, prompting Ford to increase its equity holdings (to just over a third) and its ultimate level of control over the company. There was to be no sixth-generation 626; for model year 2003, Mazda replaced both the 626 and the Millenia with the new Mazda6, which is a four-door sedan (five-door hatch and wagon versions are due momentarily) with bigger engines than the 626 and more of a sporty focus. www.dustbury.com /626/history.html   (1451 words)

VELOCITY RED MICA / Mazda takes a chance, takes a dare, and gives you the Speed 6 -- in vivid color Mazda is that quirky company that has been around since 1920, when it was known as Toyo Kogyo Co., and is now partly owned by Ford.

The power goes to all four wheels through what Mazda calls its "active torque split all-wheel drive system," adjusting the power from 100 percent on the front wheels to half-and-half, front and rear, depending on conditions. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/17/MTGI5G8K7M39.DTL   (1010 words)
