Mazda Motor Corporation yesterday announced in Hiroshima that it will head into the 74th Geneva International Motor Show* with the world debut of its newest concept vehicle, the MX-Flexa. The six-seat concept demonstrates one possible direction Mazda could take in creating a future space wagon. With this project, the design team put particular focus on adding new levels of emotional appeal.

The MX-Flexa concept showcases the emotional design and innovative packaging that customers have now come to expect from Mazda. It features an appealing exterior design, high levels of interior functionality and comfort, and superior dynamic performance, in a concept vehicle that could further improve Mazda's position in the growing space wagon segment in Europe.

Details of the car will be announced Tuesday, 2nd March, 2004 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Geneva also sees the European premiere of the MX-Micro Sport concept, first shown at the 2004 Detroit Motor Show, and the new Mazda 3 sedan equipped with a 1.6-liter MZ-CD common-rail turbo-diesel engine, which will be on sale in Europe next month.

* The Geneva International Motor Show opens to the public from 4th March through 14th March, 2004.
