In Europe, the Mazda line up proposes a nice offer of 7 vehicles, from the small Mazda 2 to the BT50 pick up truck, in the USA, take the 1st one off and add 2 SUVs to match the demands of the market with the CX-9 and Tribute.
In Japan it's a whole different story, Mazda's line up is made of 28 vehicles.
Among those that we don't have the pleasure to see on our roads is the MPV that we had the pleasure to
test drive some months ago.
The MPV also is the car that
Mazda E&T (Engineering & Technology) picked to work on a special edition known as the
Mazda MPV Bright Stylish M'z Custom. Behind this long name that the Japanese love there aren't many modifications other than the sweet body kit, front grille and alloy rims.
Under the hood lies the 2.3 litres inline 4 DOHC motor, the gearbox is automatic (4 or 6 speeds) while the power is transmitted either to the front or all wheels as always. From 2.870.000 to 3.140.00yen, the real question is whether or not such goodies will stay available to Japanese customers only or cross the borders and hit some of the vehicles that the "Zoom Zoom" manufacturers sells nearby.
