The History of Mazda
Mazda began as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd, founded in Japan in 1920. Toyo Kogyo moved from manufacturing machine tools to vehicles, with the introduction of the Mazda-Go in 1931. The company formally adopted the Mazda name in 1984, though every automobile sold from the beginning bore that name. The first four-wheel car, the Mazda R360 was introduced in 1960, followed by the Mazda Carol in 1962.
The first RX-7 released in 1978 would be a strong image leader for Mazda. The Ford Motor Company has owned 25% of Mazda since 1979, and its stake was increased to a 33.4% controlling interest in 1996 when Mazda fell into financial crisis. Ford has based many of its models on Mazdas, such as the Probe, late model Escort and Mercury Tracer, and the co-developed Escape/Mazda Tribute.
The 1980s saw Mazda transition from a niche Japanese player to a part of the global Ford empire. The 80’s held the most mainstream success for Mazda. The early 80s GLC and 626 were massive hits. Mazda also contributed to Ford’s lineup, most notably with the MX-6 based Ford Probe. In 1988 Mazda also began building the new 626/MX-6 in the United States. U.S. production was initiated via a joint venture with Ford called AutoAlliance International.
Mazda finished the decade with the revolutionary Mazda MX-5 or Miata sports car for the 1989 model year. This model revitalized the world sports car market, which was filled at the time with expensive, heavy GT cars. Arguably inspired by the Lotus Elan, the Miata has been very successful till this day.
Mazda and Ford continued joint efforts. In 1994, the Mazda B-Series line was split between an international (Mazda-designed) version and North American clone of the Ford Ranger.
2001 was a very difficult year for Mazda, as new models were in development and the company would have no new product until mid-2002. Once the new cars arrived, however, the company quickly turned around. Mazda 6, RX-8, and Mazda 3 proved popular and helped change perceptions of the brand. By 2004, Mazda had surpassed the ailing Mitsubishi in sales in some markets but not globally. The newly named MX-5, as they dropped the "Miata" name, claimed to share no common parts with the previous model.
It has been widely rumored for a few years that Ford will use the Mazda 6 platform in upcoming new cars. In fall 2005, three vehicles based on the 6’s CD3 architecture were released; the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr.
The company has introduced a new crossover SUV, the CX-7, in 2006, along with a smaller minivan, the Mazda 5, and hybrid version of the Tribute. At the same time, the company is expected to withdraw the slow-selling MPV from the United States market. Mazdas performance brand MPS "MazdaSpeed" was launched in early 2006 with the arrival of a high performance 6. launched later in 2006 is the MX5 Roadster Coupe. This is Mazdas first attempt at a powered folding metal roof.
