Because a cute-ute that ain't a Tribute (sorry) is a mandate for Ford's Japanese relative (Kinda like Hank Hill and his half-brother Junichiro), Mazda's rolling out the fo' shizzle CX-7 in Detroit. Featuring a turbo four that cranks out a respectable 244hp at five grand and 258 lb ft at a relatively low 2,500 RPM, the CX-7 also, according to the press release, has 18" wheels which "proclaim Mazda CX-7's Zoom-Zoom intentions and immediately signal that this is a vehicle built for drivers." Thanks guys. You cleared our confusion right up there.
