The Official Mazda Press Release:

New Mazda Concept Car to Premiere at Moscow International Automobile Salon

HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda will present an all-new show car at this year's Moscow International Automobile Salon. The concept is a sporty, compact crossover SUV designed especially for the Russian market.

The Moscow show car is the latest concept to be developed using the new design direction called Nagare – following in the footsteps of Nagare, Ryuga, Hakaze, Taiki and Furai. Nagare, which means "flow" in Japanese, represents a new approach to expressing movement in car design, taking as inspiration the flow patterns of natural elements, such as the wind. The design theme of Mazda's concept for the 2008 Moscow motor show is "crosswinds".

Russia is one of Europe's fastest-growing markets and is rapidly becoming the region's largest automobile market. SUVs are particularly popular in Russia, with a segment share of about 20 percent. Mazda's latest concept car is designed to appeal particularly to younger SUV owners who have a strong sense of style.

The Moscow show car, the name of which will be announced in due course, again showcases the depth of creativity within Mazda design. In February 2008, the Mazda Design team received the coveted Grand Prix du Design at the Festival Automobile International in Paris.

The Moscow International Automobile Salon media days are on August 26 and 27, whereas August 28 caters for industry and trade specialists. The show is open to the public from August 29 through September 7. The new show car will be unveiled at the Mazda press conference at 10:15 on August 26 at the Mazda stand.

2009 Mazda RX-8


Mazda Australia have recorded sales figures of 6,530 new passenger cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles for the month of May 2008 - a result that is up 3% on the previous May record of 6,345 set last year.

The May result continues Mazda's record run in 2008 and takes the company's year-to-date tally to 34,969 - up 8.7 per cent on the same period last year.

2009 Mazda RX-8


A chuffed Mazda Managing Director, Doug Dickson said: "We've launched five new models and updated two more in the last 12 months, and consumers are clearly responding to our invigorated range of passenger cars, SUVs and utilities."

These figures makes Mazda the fourth best selling brand in Australia in 2008, a position they will more than likely to retain when VFACTS sales figures are released later this month.

With the new Mazda2 three-door hatchback and facelifted Mazda RX-8 sports coupe set to go on sale in the second half of this year, it appears more than likely that Mazda will achieve its stated goal of 80,000 sales this calendar year.
