Mazda President Jeff Guyton recently conducted a Q&A session where he talked about some of what the automaker has up its sleeves in the future. One of the topics covered during the session had to do with Mazda's plans for the future. Guyton says that the automaker plans to reduce the environmental impact of its fleet of vehicles by 90 percent by 2050.

Fans of the Mazda RX-7 will be happy to hear that the automaker has launched a new heritage parts program that covers parts for the FC and FD RX-7.

Growing up is tough: usually, age brings with it responsibility and, when you're a punchy little enthusiast plaything like the 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata, "sensible" is the bogeyman. While that purity of purpose keeps long-time Miata fans happy, though, the pool of potential owners willing to make compromises in everyday driving isn't getting any bigger. We know Mazda's little icon is fun, but can it be flexible?

In late July, Mazda gave the 2021 CX-30 crossover a new name. The new version is now referred to as the CX-30 2.5 S, but it still came with a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.

Somewhere along the line, a manual transmission went from being the cheap option to something drivers get as a treat. How else to describe the 2020 Mazda3, where the six-speed stick is still available but only if you cough up for the most expensive Premium trim.

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 is mildly updated with fresher tech and a new Carbon Edition trim. It doesn’t take long to discern the CX-9 is one of the best-looking seven-seat crossovers in the business, but beauty doesn’t come cheap. Mazda is mildly raising base prices for the 2021 CX-9, but you get a host of goodies in return.
