Mazda
by Tracy Nelson Maurer
Review by Mark
The name
Mazda comes from a Japanese man named Jugiro Matsuda. Mazda started in Japan
in1920. Later, the U.S. dropped a bomb on Hiroshima. The Mazda plant was
damaged and they had to rebuild. Toyo Kogyo introduced the Cosmo sport, and
Mazda wanted to do something similar. Mazda has sold cars in the U.S. since
1970. In 2003, a panel of automobile journalists named Mazda Renesis the motor
of the year. The door on the RX-8 opens to reveal the latch for a smaller rear
door. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoy cars.
Mark, great job teaching us about Mazda! I have driven a Mazda for 13 years and you taught me a thing or two! Maybe I'll trade my Mazda van in for an RX-8! :0), Mrs. Haas

ReplyDeleteI had no idea Mazda had such an interesting history; I'll have to check out that book. I love Japanese culture, so knowing that another part of everyday life is great.
