Mazda RX-8 Facelift – Official

The Mazda RX-8 facelift for 2010 has been confirmed It’s all much as we said earlier. The Mazda RX-8 gets a facelift pretty much in line with what we’d detailed earlier based on the RX-8′s recent facelift in Japan. The front gets a tweak to bring it more in to line with the family features – as seen on the Mazda 3 – and LED lights are bolted on the back.

New Longbridge production line

By Tim Pollard Motor Industry 31 May 2007 10:10 Reborn MG opens its doors at Longbridge Yesterday marked the latest chapter in one of the genuine rollercoaster stories of our times: the rise and fall – and now yet another recovery – of car production at Longbridge, the spiritual home of some of the most famous nameplates in British car manufacturing. This time it’s the rebirth of MG, now in Chinese hands and back from a near-death experience since MG Rover collapsed in April 2005.
