We are aware that a red sports cars always attracts the kind of admiring glances we appreciate however, we also realise that in order to be fully on trend (and obviously to help the environment) we need to follow through with a bit more of a conscience.

Whereas the Ferrari California is our new weekend car, we are on the look out for something a more ecologically sound for during the week. We also desperate to find a green car that doesn’t come complete with a silly name involving words such as "whiz". Sorry we just can’t do it.

So there we were at the Moscow Motor Show, seated in a sleek VIP area sipping vodka, when we spied a cute little sporty number (official line a "sporty, compact crossover vehicle") called the “Mazda Kazamai” meaning "swirling crosswinds". The name, once again could be a sticking point, it’s not the most convincing we agree, and crosswinds have never bothered us before in our Ferrari but, in terms of technology development we admired the environmental angle (frugal fuel consumption and greatly reduced CO2 emissions). Less money on petrol, more money on shoes.

We like the sleek roof, it's large wheels and it looks to fun to drive. Sadly it has yet to be built yet, (we are already tried to order it), but we love a mission and don’t think the story ends here Mr Mazda.
