All the 323/Proteges have been made in Japan. Either in the Hiroshima or Horu plants. This is THROUGH the BJ chassis cars (99-03). The Mazda 3 is the first one not built in Japan.
NOTHING was sourced from Ford on those earlier cars.
If you can show me something that says otherwise, I'll eat my words. Furthermore, when Ford wanted to use the Mazda BP engine in the Ford Escort GT, Mazda didn't even allow them to assemble the motors, but rather, at greater expense, shipped entire long blocks to Detriot. Which furthermore, the Escort GT was the only Escort actually made in the US...the others being built in Mexico, and the build quality is noticeable.

We're hearing the MazdaSpeed RX-8 will be out in the fall. Contrary to the magazine write-ups, it will peak around 275 hp., have a little more torque, wind up faster, have stiffer springs and sway bars, a mild aero pack, and be available w/o a roof/leather/Bose. Sounds like the 2005 BS car to have and you can throw a set of wheels in the back seat with an entire trunk left over.
Hopefully it'll come with something other than the $6000 per set magnesium wheels.

I hope Mazda keeps doing this every year. That would mean that in a few years they'll do an all Miata event for the launch of the new platform (2007MY?). I pray they have a Renesis engine variant.
