| 2007 Mazda CX-7 |
The new CX-7 crossover vehicle borrows many of the concept's styling cues and its sporty look first seen at the 2005 North American International Auto Show and at the Canadian International Auto Show. This is Mazda's first foray into this segment. It has been designed and engineered in America for Americans. Production is set to begin during the course of 2006 in Japan and will make its debut in North America as a 2007. Mazda will also study the possibility of selling the vehicle in other markets.
With "zoom-zoom" being their global catch phrase, Mazda continues to put the emphasis on producing vehicles that have the soul of a sports car. Even if it is a new beginning, the CX-7 will easily be identified as a Mazda thanks to its resemblance to Mazda's flagship sports car, the RX-8.

The "C" in the name CX-7 designates the fact that this vehicle is a Crossover. This name game is not new; the "R" in RX-7 and RX-8 stands for a Rotary engined car.
