USB Data Drives as Mazda Keys?
We here at the Southern California Mazda, want to let you know about a development in Mazda technology. Mazda has in its recent past explored the possibility of using USB flash drives as Mazda keys. Mazda, known for it’s light-weight and sporty cars, has always embraced the obsessive gadget lover in all of us, our inner-Batman. Besides, cars, especially Mazda Cars are just like huge gadgets that get us from one place or another, and Mazda cars do that in style. We at Sierra Mazda, hope that this sort of stuff will make you want to run out and test drive one of Sierra Mazda’s cars, new or preowned…

The new This Mazda concept vehicle is designed especially for the SUV-hungry Russian market, which amazingly is a huge growth market. Yes, you read that right, Russians are starving for SUV’s (there’s reportedly a two year wait for Hummers).
Mazda’s Nagare design showcases how Mazda could engineer and bring to market a vehicle that is not only gorgeous and aggressive, but also exciting to drive, with an improved average fuel economy of 30 percent. The Mazda concept produces far fewer emissions than any of today’s Mazda models. Mazda’s Nazare is a powerful and efficient compact crossover, with next-generation environmental performance. We think it’s perfect for Southern California and can’t wait until it hits our Mazda Dealership.
The Mazda Future: Mazda RX-9 Concept
Sierra Mazda presents the Mazda RX-9, which is an advanced concept that came out on top as a winner in this year’s Michelin Design Challenge. The Mazda RX-9 is a hybrid featuring both a 2.5L V6 and wafer-thin electric motor. However, with the Mazda RX-9, Mazda also showcases some technologies not ever seen before in the recently all-important race for higher fuel mileage on the world’s roads.
James Owen Design is the one-man firm (no, not like Knight Rider) responsible for penning the new Mazda spec vehicle’s shape. Some of the slick skin features include electrostatic collectors that can collect electrical charges that build up on the exterior panels while driving through dry air. Turning electric garbage into energy used. The electricity take from the exterior panels is stored in capacitors that can then feed the Mazda hybrid drivetrain along with the onboard regenerative braking. We love it. The more Mazda gadgets the better…
Mazda Transforming Tires
A lot of the focus of the new Mazda spec vehicle is located around vehicle’s tires, which feature Electroactive Polymers (E.A.P.) that with varying levels of voltage from the vehicle’s electrical system can actually change the shape and depth of their tread pattern. The rubber donuts can go from flat and smooth to knobby and grippy, or even ride high on their centers for ultra-low rolling resistance. All of this is of course a huge evolutionary milestone for Mazda cars, Mazda dealers and cars everywhere.
