This year's Chicago Auto Show seems like a shell of its former self, but it still holds the title of the largest consumer auto show in the United States. It didn't get that reputation simply by being efficiently produced or convenient for locals desperate for something to do in February — it earned it over decades of breaking automotive news and powerhouse reveals, eventually earning an informal designation as America's truck show.
I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Japan three times in my duties as an editor for Autoblog. I can’t wait to go back. It’s an amazing place, rich in history, art, culture, food and, of course, cars. The memories I’ve made there will last a lifetime. If you’re reading this, you’re surely also an appreciator of all things automotive. Considering that, I urge you to go to Japan.

Another day, another Mazda rotary engine story, except this time, it’s from the automaker itself instead of a third-party speculator. Mazda announced a new division to “accelerate its research and development of rotary engines.”
If you're struggling to tell how the 2025 Mazda CX-70 is different from the existing CX-90, give yourself a break. The CX-70 has a slightly different bumper and grille insert, plus the availability of gloss black exterior trim. Mazda didn't reveal dimensions, but they should be identical to the CX-90's apart from a whisker of an inch on account of that different bumper. The biggest difference is that the CX-70 is a two-row SUV. The CX-90 has three rows. That's it. Both the turbo inline-size and plug-in-hybrid powertrains will be available, and the interior design is identical. What you're looking at here is basically a two-row CX-90.
Mazda has finally taken the wraps off the 2025 CX-70, a two-row version of its big SUV, the CX-90.
Imagine this: You're looking for a crossover with a pinch of sportiness. None of the current crop of two-rows in the upper $30K to $50K range are doing it for you. You like the swoopy Mazda CX-90 but it's too big for your wants and needs. You hear the phrase «zoom zoom» whispered by unseen forces. You get to your Mazda dealer and see that a new contender has emerged. Enter the 2025 Mazda CX-70.
Mazda began selling its B-Series pickups in the United States in 1971, badged as the B1600 (it was known as the Proceed in its homeland). We came to know this small pickup much better when Ford began selling it with Courier badges in the following year, and the Courier remained available here all the way through 1982 (after which it was replaced by the Ranger). All that time, Mazda was selling the B-Series with its own badges in the United States, and this sturdy little pickup was available here through 1994. Here's one of the last of the B2000s, found in a Colorado self-service yard recently.
