New Mazda, and Newer Mazda





Unless you speak Japanese, when you hear the word Ryuga (pronounced ree-yoo-ga), images of spaghetti sauce probably fill your head. But, if you do speak Japanese, you would know that Ryuga, the name of Mazda’s concept car to be introduced this week at the Chicago Auto Show means “gracious flow”…and one look at this striking concept and the name suddenly makes sense!

Don’t look for the Ryagu to show up on the showroom floor any time soon as it is an experiment in design which will likely lead to new styling cues and philosophies for future generations of Mazda vehicles. Incorporating different textures and engineering developments, the Ryagu, with its gull wings, fender flares, and sweeping body, looks like its flying down the road when it’s just sitting there.




From a peek into the future, to the future of the automotive world on the showroom floor today, the new Mazda crossover CX9 has arrived to great reviews from the critics, and lots of turning heads on the road! The Mazda CX9 is the seven passenger big brother to the CX7, and provides families a vehicle that drives like a midsize, but has the room of a full-size, which means that all seven passengers ride comfortably, even with adults in the way-back.

Combined with the 3.5 liter V6 engine is a six speed transmission that shifts like a champ for smooth running. Speaking of engines, no 60 thousand mile timing belt change for the CX9’s engine as it uses a chain instead of a belt.

From storage space, to passenger space, to handling and beyond, the Mazda CX9 is now at the forefront of the movement to provide families with a vehicle that serves both their needs and their desires, leaving the mini-van farther behind in the American psyche. With the release of the CX9, the age of the crossover has officially arrived.

If you’re craving a test drive of the new Mazda CX9, you can call Ricart Mazda at 888-250-2573, or click here.
