As we've made mention countless times, the sport-utility vehicle market has exploded. And, now that fuel prices are creeping down, again, we're sure people will be more than happy to snap them up.
It looks like the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show will be the show to be at for entry-level, compact sport-utility vehicles. That's because the Honda HR-V will not be the only small SUV making its very first appearance.
Sent to us is the very first sketch of the all-new Mazda CX-3 that's slated to debut in LA in a matter of weeks. As of now information is slim, but we're sure when the automaker drops the sheets it will be sure to provide us with more thorough information.

In pursuing a design of beauty and sophistication, the essence of KODO-the expression of life within a vehicle-has been evolved to produce a sharper form with an enhanced sense of speed.
In addition, the all-new Mazda MX-5 two-seater open-top sports car (Mazda Roadster in Japan) will make its North American auto show debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The engine line-up for the all-new MX-5 will be tailored to each market, and feature either a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine, tuned exclusively for the model and mounted longitudinally.
