Mazda2 or what is also known as the Mazda Demio is so proud to be honored as the 2008 Automotive Researchers’ and Journalists’ Conference of Japan (RJC) Car of the Year. Mada’s famous sports utility vehicle, the Mazda CX-7, has also bagged the special “Best SUV” award.

The Mazda2 is a compact vehicle which merges exceptional handling, distinct vehicle style, competitive running costs, and not to mention the Zoom-Zoom spirit of being fun to drive around. RJC gave the Mazda2 high scores for having exceptional fuel efficiency and drivability. This upgraded model is a lot less heavier as it weights 100 kilograms lighter than its previous generation. What makes the fuel economy of the Mazda Demio notable is its 13C-V model grade which merges the MZR 1.3-liter Miller-cycle engine of Mazda with CVT or continuously variable transmission. This combination results in a fuel economy of 23 kilometers per liter in a 10-15 fuel mode.

On the other hand, the mazda SUV which received the Best SUV award is a crossover sports utility vehicle incorporating cosmopolitan and sporty styling. It got the RJC’s vote because of the CX-7’s responsive and powerful driving dynamics because of the 2.3-liter direct injection turbocharged and eco-friendly engine. This engine is connected to a six-speed Activematic gearbox coupled with a suspension that provides comfortable and stable ride for the passengers.

“We are delighted to receive these prestigious awards from the RJC. Under our product-led growth strategy, we launched the Mazda Atenza as the first of our next-generation models in 2002 and it won the RJC Car of the Year award. We’re pleased to be chosen again by the RJC for the Mazda Demio, the first new model we introduced after announcing our Sustainable Zoom-Zoom long-term technical development vision this year. We appreciate these accolades as a validation of where we are going with our products. Looking ahead, we will continue to strive to make cars infused with the Mazda spirit,” said Hisakazu Imaki, Mazda’s Representative Director, President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board.

The organization which honored the Mazda2 with the 2008 Car of the Year Award is a non-profit organization which dedicate itself to research and criticism of the automotive industry.

Sleek, sexy, out-of-this-world design – these are the words the VW concept car dubbed as Viseo should be properly described with as these are just fitting for the VW concept car.

The concept car looks so out of this world that it seems it would be a long time before the concept car is realized. Or perhaps it shall remain as just a concept car. That is the hanging question of people who were able to take a peek at this VW beauty.

The design of the VW Viseo has been conceptualized by Marc Kirsch. The architecture of the VW Viseo had been inspired by Santiago Calatrava’s “dynamic balance” as Kirsch wanted to have a car that sport ergonomics for comfortability and is also ecologically friendly. The VW Vieseo’s being ecologically friendly is from its electric engine.

VW Viseo is a three-seater and was conceptualized in an attempt to make vehicles have higher level of comfort but also improves driving experience.

For a sleek look, the VW Viseo has been designed to have a large part of its surface covered in a flexible OLED film. This way, drivers can be sure to have innovative safety and communication concept for the vehicle to easily communicate externally.
