The spin doctor is helping the AD this weekends. Smell so much like a PAID advertistment. Talk and talk about all the mazda cars, its engine, history and how good each models are. Funny, it was quiet last saturday when I was at mazda. The SE said the insurance subsidies only up to $1.5k, perhaps it was increased to $4000 this week onwards due to poor sales. Anyway my insurance for the M2 was quoted at around $1950(0%NCD) according to the insurance list that SE showed me. I proposed that she fully cover my insurance and pay for one year road tax, plus the usual solar film and reverse sensor, then I buy. She said $1.5 already very good leh. In the end I did not buy from Mazda, as whatever she quoted, at that time she firmly said was controlled by company, and she cannot do much. http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/...715-227029.html S'pore flocks to dealer's biggest promo as Mazda turns 90 To celebrate Mazda's 90th anniversary, Mazda Motor is treating Singapore car buyers to its biggest deal ever: $9,000 off the country's most popular Mazda models, namely the compact Mazda2, the popular Mazda3 and the spacious Mazda5 MPV. The dealer is also offering up to $4,000 worth of insurance subsidies and the assurance of a Guaranteed COE. Responses over the past weekends showed Singapore car buyers' appreciation for such an offer, especially with escalating COE prices and the recent COE quota reduction announcement. When the brand 'Mazda' comes to mind, many people may have misunderstood the brand as being relatively 'young', which is probably due to its cars being known for their energetic personality, unconventional styling and trademark handling around bends. In reality, Mazda carries with it a seasoned heritage: a full nine decades that is. More established than big names like Toyota and Honda, its history dates back to 1920 where the company was founded by Mr Jujiro Matsuda. Through the years, Mazda always reiterated themselves as the brand that dares to think differently from the rest. From its distinctive styling that won them several design awards, for instance the Louis Vuitton Classic Concept Award; to the revolutionary innovation of the Rotary Engine that won Engine of the Year Award. The Renesis Rotary Engine (RE), unique only to Mazda, has powered revolutionary RE vehicles such as the Familia Rotary Coupe, Savanna, RX-7, Eunos Cosmo and the RX-8 we all know today: the road-tax friendly 1.3L four-door sports coupe with a maximum power output of 231bhp (6MT). Leading the way in reduced-weight model evolution technology, Mazda ensures every vehicle put on the road is not one gram more or less than it should be, to achieve optimal driving dynamics. Through this, the new Mazda2 shaved off a full 100kg from its predecessor to win World Car of the Year title in 2008. The MX-5, a 2-seater sports coupe, although not as popular in Singapore, is actually a Guinness Record holder for the world's top-selling open-top 2-seater sports car. The MX-5's top can open and fold in 12 seconds, a record that no carmaker has matched. In 2008, Mazda announced its target to achieve a 30 per cent improvement on the average fuel economy of Mazda vehicles sold worldwide by 2015. Having established themselves as the brand with individuality and trademark ability in handling corners, the carmaker is now on to leading the way with the upcoming SKY-G and SKY-Drive transmissions that produces an ultra-high fuel economy of 32km/L along with a sporty and refined, direct feel comparable to that of a dual clutch transmission. This technology was featured in the concept car, Kiyora that Mazda Motor brought in earlier this year as a peek into what's to come. Much has been going on for the Singapore car dealer this year: the opening of its second showroom at Alexandra Road in January, followed by various model launches every other month to date, including introducing the all-new Mazda8 MPV model to the Singapore market. Let's not forget their presence on radio, reminding Singapore every other week that if it's a Mazda, "it's a must". Happy Birthday, Mazda!

Egrets are back again as usual . Probably taking a hiatus from their place of origin where the weather gets hotter. With them around makes our green land more scenic. The nos will increase as we approach year end. They behave so much better compared to the ever irritating black crows.
