Owen Kratz misjudged Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway's famous Corkscrew at this weekend's Mazda prototype lite race and spun his Mazda off into a Mazda sign. But instead of driving into the pits to get it fixed he had to drive the rest of the race with the sign wedged in there. Why?

Could you really stand the thought of a diesel Mazda Miata? Mazda engineers are apparently toying with the idea of the fourth-generation of the roadster, due in the next couple of years, being available with a super-efficient, yet totally uncharacteristic, engine.

The Mazda2 has made a splash on every continent it's sold in, and guess what? Now it's making a splash stateside!

It's basically a widebody Autozam AZ-1 with a longitudinal mid-engine RE Amemiya-tuned Mazda 20B rotary. It was built as a show car for the 1996 Tokyo Auto Salon, but I hear it's far from being all bark and no bite.
