The 2011 Mazda CX-5 shapes up as a thoroughly modern small crossover, and it's no surprise that CX -5 follows the sporty path laid down by the CX-7 and CX-9. Mazda's larger crossovers sell respectably despite today's down market, and each has been bringing in valuable business for the franchise. Furthermore, the CX-5 will be an exciting new design compared to its outgoing predecessor, the Tribute. Th e CX-5 won't be just any crossover, it promises to mimic the style and driving spirit of Mazda's RX-8 sports car. It won't have a rotary engine, but the CX-5 is expected to have similarly rakish looks. The 2011 Mazda CX-5 will be a swoopy 5-passenger wagon patterned somewhat on the Kazamai concept from the Aug ust 2008 Moscow Auto Show. Kazamai--the name means "swirling crosswinds" in Japanese--is the latest preview of Mazda's new nagare or "flow" styling theme announced by a like-named 2006 concept. Likely styling elements include cycle-type front-fender forms, an emerging Mazda hallmark; a gaping "five-point" grille; heavily sculpted bodysides with upswept windowsill lines; and a trim tail with minimal metal behind the rear wheels. A two-way liftgate with separate-opening glass is also likely; size wise, the CX-5 should be close to the Escape, Mariner, and Tribute except for height. Conclusions The 2011 Mazda CX-5 will be part of the new "One Ford" global product plan that aims to harmonize the company's various models around far fewer platforms and components. The idea is to develop vehicles that can be built and sold most anywhere in the world without expensive alterations for individual markets. This strategy not only promises to save big money upfront, a must for Ford nowadays, but it should also improve manufacturing flexibility, allowing Ford to respond more quickly to profit-killing currency fluctuations and changes in sales demand, a must for any automaker in today's global economy. The plan kicks off with the 2011 Ford Fiesta subcompact car, which is due sometime next year. Next comes a redesigned 2011 Ford Focus compact car. Another part of the One Ford plan is to replace its aging SUV and CUVs; these include the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute. And this is where the 2011 CX-5 comes in. There's no word yet on whether the 2011 Mazda CX-5 would be built in North America, like Tribute, or sourced from Japan like the CX-7. The 2011 Mazda CX-5 will share its platform with the European Ford Kuga, which is shown here. Both vehicles will be on the same platform as the next generation of the Ford Focus. vpra?anje ?e ga bo Evropa sploh videla - o?itno delan za ameriko in bli?nji vzhod
