New Mazda CX-5 First Public Display at Vospers Mazda.

May 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Hundreds of Mazda enthusiasts and members of the public are expected to descend upon the historic Pendennis Castle in Falmouth on 20 May for the annual MX-5 Owners Club Spring Rally.  While the event traditionally celebrates the iconic two-seater Mazda MX-5 sportscar, it will be Mazda’s pioneering CX-5 compact SUV taking the limelight this year, as Vospers Mazda proudly presents the all-new model to the Cornish public for the first time.

Visitors from across the country will take part in the MX-5 Owners Club Spring Rally in celebration of the world’s best-selling roadster.  This year the Rally will see MX-5s of all ages leisurely driving along the beautiful peninsula of Cornwall on the 19 May, and then assembling at the Pendennis Castle event on Sunday, where there will be a variety of stalls featuring Cornish crafts and Mazda MX-5 accessories.  

While there will be plenty to see, it’s the all-new CX-5 that will pull in the crowds to this year’s event.  Whether you’re a Mazda enthusiast, passionate about cars or simply in the market for the latest, most inspiring SUV, the CX-5 is sure to please.  

“This world-beating model is more than just an SUV it’s a piece of automotive genius,” said Alex Bass, Dealer Principal, Vospers Mazda.  “Mazda threw out the rule book when designing the CX-5 and started from scratch.  The engine’s make-up has been re-invented, the bodyshell is lighter, yet stronger and the result is a practical, spacious, stylish car that delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency, CO2 emissions, safety and above all provides an invigorating drive, unfamiliar to owners of rival SUV brands.  Even the six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes are new, creating a sporty drive, that some say is similar to the MX-5.

“The MX-5 Owners Club event is the ideal opportunity for us to present the new CX-5 to the public for the first time.  Visitors are welcome to come and look around the new model and ask our team about the financial benefits of driving such an economical car (up to 61.4mpg) that still retains Mazda’s fun-to-drive nature,” concluded Bass.

Vospers Mazda will also be showing its range of MX-5 models to satisfy the tastes of the many fans of the two-seater taking part in the Rally.  On display will be the new MX-5 Venture Edition soft top and hard top Roadster Coupe, the MX-5 1.8 SE (currently available with 0% VAT) and two used MX-5 models.
