In busy cities such as Tokyo where there are many narrow roads, American cars — which tend to be larger — are generally not the first choice of the average driver, which might be why there are so few U.S. cars in Japan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/28/economy/few-us-cars-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #carmakers #toyota #honda #nissan #mazda #tariffs #donaldtrump #us #usjapanrelations

Japan’s major carmakers saw their U.S. sales surge in March as a last-minute rush to buy cars emerged ahead of the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported vehicles on April 3. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/24/companies/carmakers-us-surge/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #carmakers #toyota #honda #nissan #mazda #tariffs #donaldtrump #us #usjapanrelations

Mazda Motor will pause exporting one model type to Canada that it makes in the U.S. as a temporary countermeasure to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/18/companies/mazda-pose-production/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #donaldtrump #us #tariffs #canada #carmakers #mazda

Today, something pretty special. I saw this example of the original 1967-1972 Mazda Cosmo at the recent Practical Classics restoration show at the NEC. Only about 1,200 of these were built and apparently there are only two in the UK. Alongside the NSU Ro80, this was the first car to have a twin-rotor Wankel engine. This car is in the middle of a restoration project by Yorkshire Car Restoration. (1/2)

Mieux que Mad Max : Mad Mazda !

Aperçu hier midi par hasard près de la route 532 dans la région de Borgarnes. Le secteur était plongée dans un silence absolu !

“A #Japanese transport ministry raid found #Toyota – along with #Mazda, #Honda and #Suzuki – submitted inaccurate #SafetyData and used specifically modified vehicles to #manipulate crash-test results.

Production resumed in September 2024 after the vehicles were retested and Toyota apologised – but this may have been the catalyst for the car maker dropping them from their range, the ageing models to be effectively replaced by the new-generation #Corolla that launched in 2018.”

Three-door #Mazda 2 looks pretty smart. A body style we don’t get here.

Labor unions at major Japanese automakers like Toyota and Honda have submitted their wage hike requests to the management side for this year's spring labor-management talks. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/02/12/japan-auto-unions-wages/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #carmakers #wages #toyota #nissan #honda #mitsubishimotors #mazda

It finally happened. ;_; Someone surprised me with a Matchbox on my windshield.

You'd have to be of a certain age to get the reference in this headline.

Automatic braking sensors in three car models tested (#Honda, #Mazda, and #Subaru) failed to recognize mannequins wearing high-visibility clothing, performing worse than when the mannequin was wearing all black clothing. Results varied with the amount of roadway illumination, but not monotonically. The Subaru performed better than the others.
