Brands like, Chevrolet, Honda, Mazda, and more, are offering features and amenities once reserved for the luxury automobile level.
Whenever new technology is brought to the market it’s typically tested in the luxury market before it’s offered down in the mainstream market. Fair or not, the fact that new tech adds to the price of a vehicle means it’s going to be added to those vehicles that are sold at higher prices to customers that don’t mind paying a little more to have the system desired. Thankfully, some of this tech makes its way to the mainstream market at some point. One of the items that’s finally making its way down the line is the head-up display.
Mazda
A Massive Trend in the Automotive Market
It wasn’t too long ago that electric cars were only offered as underpowered and tiny vehicles that required a massive amount of compromise on your part in order to drive a vehicle that could be plugged in.
Once Tesla arrived on the scene and EV models began to develop into powerful and sexy models we’ve seen other brands build EVs and begin to see the light of offering these models as ones everyone would want to drive. With that in mind, here are several vehicles that we hope will eventually become EVs for the drive we want to enjoy:
Subtle Changes to the Mazda CX-3
The Mazda CX-3 has been one of the most engaging subcompact crossover SUV models on the market. As this SUV enters the 2019 model year this vehicle will continue to be one you want to drive but it will offer you a few small changes to make it even better. This new version of the CX-3 shows up with more interior room and useful seating and cargo versatility to make it a vehicle that can work great for you. This is also one of the only models in this class that has the offering of AWD for you to have the quality drive you want.
More to Mazda Than You Might Expect
The Mazda brand and its “zoom zoom” moniker have been part of what we imagine and love to enjoy on the road for many years, whether you drive a Mazda3, a Mazda6, or another great Mazda model. Right now, it feels like the most anticipated new model from this brand that we’re looking for is the next RX model which has been shown as a concept in the Vision Concept model that hasn’t made its way to the production line just yet. With that in mind, what you might not realize is the fact that Mazda is ready to give us a look at another model that will be impressive on the road.
The Flagship Improved: Mazda6
While Mazda only has a pair of sedan models that are offered on the market, they do have a flagship that we all know and love. The Mazda6 is a car that’s been one of the most admired in the midsize sedan market and now it’s been upgraded and improved to be a re-engineered model that will make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show at the end of the month. This is when and where the team at Mazda will show off their newest version of the Mazda6 and let us enjoy what this amazing car has for the drive.
Contenders are Getting Lined Up
Automakers love to advertise their vehicles with the awards they earn to show off what the vehicle has been recognized for. As we head closer to the official beginning of the new 2018 model year the contenders for one of the most prestigious awards have begun to line up and become available to be judged. One of the first awards to be offered for this new model year is the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year. These awards see a large number of vehicles vying for recognition and the right to take to the screen and show off this trophy during commercials.
A Family Versatility Comparison
There are many vehicles that have become part of what we drive as families. the mid-sized sedan is one of the most popular but with the increased growth of the crossover SUV segment of the world these vehicles have become more popular than ever and are now what we turn to more often for the family drive we want to have on the road. With these vehicles on the road, there are a few that you will want to compare when you’re looking for the right crossover SUV for your family to enjoy out on the road.

Can You take a Miata Off Roading?
The question isn’t so much whether or not you should, but can you actually head out on the dirt roads and let this car loose to see what it can do when challenged by the trails that aren’t paved. Don’t make a mistake in thinking I’ve lost my marbles, I understand the small ground clearance and the low slung look of this car, but could you actually enjoy some fun on the sand and dirt where the Miata might be able to handle the ride and whip around for the off road fun that you want?
Testing the Waters
When you consider the market of today automotive world we see there is a segment that has stormed the castle and taken over where sedans once ruled. This segment of the market is the crossover SUV segment and it now offers automakers the chance to do many things with their SUVs that have never been done before. Decades ago an SUV was much more utility than sport and were built based on truck platforms, but in today’s market we see most of the SUVs are of a unibody build and have gotten smaller than some of our sedans to be an active vehicle that is fun to drive but offers a bit more space and a higher ride.
