After encountering financial problems, Mazda embarked on a relationship with the Ford Motor Company, which took a seven per cent stake in 1979, rising to 33.3 per cent by 1996.

The Eunos was introduced last year as Mazda's stand-alone premium marque and the new 800 gives the range representation in the luxury car market. A long list of standard features - such as leather upholstery, wood-grained panelling, power seats, anti-theft alarm, cruise control, high-quality... https://www.scmp.com/article/49041/mazdas-marque-respect?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/49041/mazdas-marque-respect?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 23 Oct 1993 16:00:00 +0000 LONGER ago than I care to admit, I was smitten with British sports cars. I still am, I suppose. In those states of melancholy which are prone to those of us rapidly closing on middle age, I fondly recall times spent behind the wheel of a succession of MGs and Triumphs during my ''formative'' years. One in particular stands out as a classic. It was British Racing Green, of course, and had brown leather seats that smelled like they'd just come from the tannery.

This 1993 Mazda version has an urbane appearance.... https://www.scmp.com/article/29417/take-road-multi-purpose-style-mazda?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/29417/take-road-multi-purpose-style-mazda?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 13 May 1993 16:00:00 +0000 THE automatic version of the stunning Mazda Rx7 is now on sale in Hongkong, to add further interest to the Mazda sports-car range. With the manual version of this, the third reincarnation of the original 1978 Rx7, Mazda has already established a strong presence in the territory with its back-to-basics original sports-car approach. However, as always in Hongkong, Mazda believes that an automatic version will find many willing new customers on the crowded streets and highways of the... https://www.scmp.com/article/29341/new-mazda-proves-roaring-success?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/article/29341/new-mazda-proves-roaring-success?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 12 May 1993 16:00:00 +0000
