Rendering of new Mazda RX-8

If the new RX-8 is anything like that, then I already know what my next car will be!!! Judging by the new design language 'KODO - Soul of Motion' and the Shinari concept, it's certain that Mazda will launch very interesting designs.

Yesterday the first batch of Suzuki Swifts arrived, including the 3-door version. All of them came from Hungary and I noticed that very few top-spec cars had also rear parking sensors fitted. I have to admit that although I still don't like the headlights much, overall it looks much better in reality and the interior is way better that its predecessor. The seat upholstery feels a bit cheap, but the seats should provide good support.

Some of them were also equipped with the auto gearbox and I feel that it is a shame that the CVT gearbox, which also has the option for changing gears via the paddle shifters, is available in Japan only. I really look forward for the Sport version.
