I think the wikilinking should be improved to something like 323_(Mazda)

Shouldn't this article be moved to Mazda Motor Corporation and Mazda a redirect? RedWolf 04:49, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)

FYI all Mazda's compact Japanese-only products are Suzuki-sourced. -- stewacide 02:29, Jun 17, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] pronunciation

Do you say /mæzdə/ or /mɑzdə/? My American friend says the latter, and I hear the former more often in Canada.--Sonjaaa 02:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• I use the latter in Iowa, and so does everyone else. I've never heard anyone use the former. --DMurphy 05:48, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Australians also use the /mæzdə/ pronunciation. --Xyzzyva 18:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mazda did have a badge prior to 1977

I would like to refer to the quote... "In the years prior to 1993, Mazda did not have a logo, only a stylized version of their name." ...Mazda did have a badge prior which was scrapped in 1977. The badge has a rotary housing with a m in the middle

[edit] Ownership

Isn't Mazda wholly owned by Ford now? --Hungoverdrawn 20:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

See: http://www.mazda.com/investors/04hokoku/2005/pdf/ar05_20e.pdf --Krtek2125 01:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. A simple 'no' would have sufficed! ;) --Hungoverdrawn 09:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

[edit] Logos

"As of April 2007, Mazda will not have an official symbol, only a styled version of their name; the previous flying "m" might be still in use in some dealers for a little longer."

What is this all about? IS their logo being dropped from dealers? vehicles? at all? i have see absolutely no proof for this. please explain

-Pautlorius

Not only is there no proof of the badge being dropped (I've scoured the official press releases and found nothing) The next generation Mazda2/Demio which is being released later this year has already been shown with the badge still in place. Considering there is only about 6 weeks until the beginning of May, I'd say that section is completely false.
