Mazda
Mazda Motor Corporation er stiftet i 1920 af Juriro Matsuda. Selskabet har hovedkontor i Fuchu, Hiroshima, Japan, og man producerer fortsat hovedparten af alle biler på fabrikken i Hiroshima. Mazda producerer personbiler, letter lastbiler og motorer. Selskabet blev i 1920 stiftet som Toyo Cork Kogyo Co. Ltd, men sidst i 1920 blev selskabet reddet fra fallit af en række virksomhedsledere i Hiroshima. I 1931 begyndte man at fremstille en autorickshaw ved navn Mazda-Go. Første bil med navnet Mazda blev introduceret i 1960, men det var først i 1984 Mazda officielt købte og tog navnet Mazda. Oliekrisen i 1970’erne betød stor nedgang i salget af Mazdas biler med wankelmotor, og endnu engang blev Mazda reddet fra fallit af banker og investorer. I 1979 indledte Mazda et samarbejde med Ford, i 1996 udvidede Ford sin aktiepost i Mazda til 33,3 procent, men under den økonomiske krise i 2008 solgte Ford det mest af sin aktiepost, så den faldt til 2,1 procent.

It spawned followup events in 2010, 2012 and 2013, pulling Miatas from all over North America and beyond. In 2014, we celebrated 25 years of the Miata with a massive gathering that included the first public showing of the 4th generation car.
