Mazda has always been a scrappy underdog among Japanese manufacturers. Under the Ford umbrella, Mazda has flourished profitably as it widens its product portfolio. With access to Ford corporate vehicle platforms, Mazda cleverly expanded its product line with minimum cost. The latest example of Mazda's ingenuity is the CX-7 SUV. With a 244-bhp 2.3L turbo, relatively nimble handling, and a 6-speed automatic, the CX-7 adds more Sport to SUV.
