Napleton's Schaumburg Mazda

Looking for something practical and safe for your family that's also fun to drive? Doesn't seem like that'd be an easy combination to find, does it? Well, according to U.S. News, the Mazda5 is one of the Best Cars of 2012.

The 2012 2012 Mazda5 ranks third of the eight minivans that rank as some of the best in 2012. Even though it's one of the smallest minivans available today...

Back in December, Mazda gave us our first glimpse of what to expect from the all-new Mazda6 when it debuts next year. The first peek into their new styling language, which debuted a couple months ago in Tokyo, is called the Takeri Concept. Built on an all-new lightweight platform, complete with SkyActiv technology and Mazda's new KODO design language, the Takeri is a striking family sedan, with lines that invoke feelings of movement...

For Schaumburg Mazda, we can trace our Mazda love back in time through some pretty fantastic times in car history. But the 1989 MX-5 Miata stands head-and-shoulders above the rest as a timeless classic, which reset the bar for small sports cars - and has captivated us every model year since then. And while we certainly think that the new MX-5 Miata is a wonderful car, we were pretty excited to hear the announcement from the...

We love to see automakers setting high goals for themselves at the beginning of a year or a decade. Many times, that means business is good, and can only get better. The thing is, sometimes, unforeseen tragedies like the early 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, requires a re-examination of previously set goals.

Mazda is well on their way to creating some of the most fuel-efficient traditionally fueled passenger vehicles on the road today. And with the help of i-stop, SkyActiv and Mazda's new Intelligent Energy Loop (i-ELOOP) technology, all upcoming releases from the automaker will be increasingly efficient. The latest, i-ELOOP makes use of a capacitor, a 12-25V variable voltage alternator, electric double layer capacitor and DC/DC converter to capture kinetic energy and then feed…

What could possibly be better than the recently refreshed Mazda3 with SkyActiv technology and an EPA-estimated 27-mpg city/38 mpg highway? How about four completely redesigned new Mazda models in the next two years? That's right, Mazda's Senior VP of U.S. Operations, Robert Davis, recently shared with reporters at Automotive News that we can expect just that.

The automaker unveiled the all-new Mazda CX-5 at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now?

Late this month, lucky drivers in Japan will be able to get themselves behind the wheel of the special edition Mazda RX-8 Spirit R. It will, in fact, be the last edition of the automaker's rotary sports model, and they're only planning to make 1,000 of them. Production is slated to end in June of 2012, but Schaumburg Mazda is sure that even with a few months on the market, it will...

With tightening restrictions on fuel economy and emissions, car makers have been getting a little, well, creative to make their cars more efficient. For example, early next year, Mazda will introduce the 2012 Mazda CX-5. And, aside from being a highly-anticipated new model from the Japanese automaker, it will be the first production vehicle to implement ultra-high tensile steel in its framework.

So, how will this help? With ultra-high tensile steel in the body of?
