Mazda MX-5, also known as the Miata, joins the retractable hardtop market.

The Mazda CX-7 has very distinctive styling. Mazda describes it as a combination of sports car and SUV. They say it has the image and driving performance of a sports car - or maybe a sports coupe - and the utilty and capability of an SUV. CX-7 certainly looks different from SUVs and sedans. And it is a useful piece - functional.

Mazda hits mid-size SUV segments with two all-new, market-relevant products.

Mazda expands its lineup with a car-based SUV in spring 2006 called the CX-7. While the entry was previewed by the 2005 MX-Cross Sport concept, the production car was unveiled at Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows in January 2006. As with other car-based, post-modern SUVs, or crossovers, the five-seater CX-7 comes standard in front-drive form with an optional AWD system available. The CX-7 will be built in Japan, and is not directly related to the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX new-for-2007MY entries also being introduced to at the Detroit auto show.
