2006 Mazda Lineup - Autochannel (press release)
The widely anticipated all-new 2006 Mazda MX-5 is the first total redesign of the lightweight, nimble, open-air roadster since it was launched in 1989. All-new from bumper to bumper and from the wheels to the top, the 2006 MX-5 has grown in size... The 2006 MX-5 has a light and compact engine, featuring chain-driven double overhead camshafts, lightweight fly wheel, variable intake valve timing, electronically controlled port fuel injection and coil-on-plug ignition. Revving smoothly to its 7,000 rpm redline, the 2. 0-liter engine delivers 140 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm for driving exhilaration throughout the rev range. The all-new MX-5 benefits from three transmission choices: five-speed manual, six-speed manual and six-speed Sport A/T automatic. The all-new six-speed manual transmission boasts ultra-short throws, reminding the driver that the 2006 MX-5 Miata is the benchmark for manual transmission feel and performance. Introduced in 2004, the Mazda RX-8 remains the only sports car to feature seating for four full-size adults, and the only mass-produced vehicle in the world to offer the high-revving RENESIS rotary engine. MAZDA 3 4-Door and 5-Door. The MAZDA 3 i 4-Door model adds Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to the 2. 0-liter. Source: www.theautochannel.com
