An entirely new Carol appeared in October of 1998 as a 1999 model, this time with the Mazda brand name. Unlike previous Carols, this model was a straight rebadged Suzuki Alto. This Carol was available with either front or all-wheel drive and used the old 657 cc F6A engine or a new 658 cc DOHC unit. It was closely related to the AZ-Offroad and AZ-Wagon introduced at the same time. In 2001, the Carol was updated with a new look for 2001. Emissions (with a new VVT engine) and safety were also improved. In 2004 as Suzuki released a replacement for the Suzuki Alto, the rebadged Mazda Carol was also replaced. Album foto

Mazda Motor Corporation este o companie producatoare de automobile din Japonia, cu sediul in Hiroshima.

Mazda si-a inceput activitatea ca Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd. in anul 1920. Toyo Kogyo a venit in lumea automobilistica cu introducerea pe piata a modelului Mazda-Go in 1931, un automobil pe 3 roti, de asemenea ei produceau arme pentru armata japoneza in timpul celui de al II-lea Razboi Mondial. Compania a adoptat formal numele Mazda in 1984, chiar daca toate automobilele vindute pina atunci purtau numele Mazda. Primul automobil pe patru roti a fost Mazda R360 introdus in 1960, urmat de Mazda Carol in 1962.

Compania Ford a cumparat in 1979 25% din actiunile companiei Mazda, si a crescut cota acestora pina la 33.4% obtinind pachetul de control in 1996 cind Mazda a intrat intr-o criza financiara. Ford s-a bazat in multe din modelele sale pe cele de la Mazda, asa cum Probe, care au dat nastere Nord Americanului Ford Escort si Mercury Tracer, dar co-produsul Escape/Mazda Tribute.

1979 a pus calea pentru vanzarea marcilor Ford/Mazda Laser si Telstar in Asia si Australia. Aceste modele au inlocuit pe cele de la Ford Europe vandute pana in 1970. Ford, de asemenea, a folosit modele Mazda pentru a-si stabili prezenta in Japonia - Autorama dealers au vandut aceste modele dar si ocazional modele Ford americane si europene.

Anul 2000 vine cu sfarsitul rebranding-ului Ford inlocuind modelul Laser cu propriul Focus, iar Tlestar cu Mondeo.

In 2005, compania a vandut aproximativ 800 mii automobile in Japonia, Europa si SUA.
