    Spy Shots: 2015 Mazda3 interior spied for the first time     1368900000

    In terms of exterior appearance, not much has changed from the last time we spotted the next-generation Mazda3 out testing.

    Video: Scion FR-S pitted against aging Mazda RX-8 and Honda S2000     1367971020

    There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of domestic coupes like the Ford Mustang.

    Riding a motorcycle through high traffic can be a stressful experience. And we don't even want to imagine what it's like to have to actually pursue someone on a police motorcycle.

But the currency has declined in value by some 16 per cent over the past six months and Mazda's shares ...
