Mazda BT-50 pickup headed to Sydney Motor Show

The Australian International Motor Show will be welcoming a new Mazda along with that mysterious Subaru. The next generation of the Mazda BT-50 pickup is scheduled to premiere on October 15 as an “active lifestyle vehicle.”
We’re not sure how the “modern and refined styling” will radically alter the Aussie’s take on the BT-50 or trucks in general, but according to Mazda it is a “new type of vehicle” possessed of a “universally recognizable beauty” that will increase “anticipation of the driving pleasure to come.” We suppose we’ll find out what all that means – beyond a hyperactive marketing department – come October. In the meantime, there’s a press release after the jump to wet our Aussie readers’ chops. Chance of U.S. importation to replace the now-departed B-Series? Not likely, mate.
