Mazda is certainly displaying some oomph at the New York International Auto Show this week.
The company has won kudos for its 2008 CX-9, which Motor Trend named Sport Utility of the Year, its MazdaSpeed3, which is generally rated the best value hi-performance road car, and its Mazda 2 subcompact, which was just named World Car of the Year.
Mazda is considering bringing the Mazda 2 to the U.S. in the near future, according to thecarconnection.com
Meanwhile, Mazda is showing off its show-stopping Furai concept in New York this week. The name means "Sound of the Wind," and the influence of aerodynamic styling is evident in the lines with the front sides and rear seemingly shaped by the wind.
The car not only looks seriously fast, but is armed with a 450 horsepower rotary engine. And it sits next to a real racer, the Mazda RX-8 that won the 2008 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.
