Geneva Motor Show - Mazda

Mazda madness
So, just how crazy is Mazda to try and push 250bhp through the front wheels of a small family car?

Vauxhall has put 238bhp through the front wheels of its Astra VXR, which is pretty mad.

We haven't had the chance to drive the 3 MPS yet, but we'd expect it to be fiercely competitive with rivals such as the Astra VXR.

The manufacturer has done a good job with the 6MPS, which is admittedly a four-wheel-drive car, but even so, we've got high hopes for the mad Mazda 3MPS.

Can we have one of these, please?
We saw the neat Kabura coupe concept at the Detroit Motor Show in January, but we're really pleased we've been given another chance to look at it here in Geneva.

It's still one of the prettiest concepts we've seen in a long time, and we hope that the company insiders aren't wrong when they say it'll be on sale in a couple of years from about £14,000. How cool would that be?
