mp5girl....where did you get your figure.
By this I'm assuming you're referring to the delivery numbers. I live in Holiday and the nearest dealership is Russell Mazda in Clearwater. The salesman there said they are expecting a load sometime this month of 14 cars, 10 being spoken for. I'm on the list for a phone call when they arrive

I have to disagree with everyone who doesn't like the doors. This car is perfect for sports car loving mom's and dad's. If four doors isn't what your looking for then this car shouldn't be a consideration. Instead you should be looking at the 350Z or something. The "Saturn" style doors are the only way to accomplish the styling without having to increase the length and weight thus turning it back into an every day sedan. I thought Saturn did an awesome job when they originated that design because it did give them the ability to keep a sports car appearance. Well... as sporty as a Saturn gets anyway.

That's my opinion anyway!

Am I missing something? What's all this talk about 2005? I never heard of them announcing any changes, then again, I haven't heard much about it in a while.

I think it looks pretty nice. It will give the 350z some good competition. That mazdaspeed version looks so good though. Heh, I also like the little rotor brake light that was on the rear (did they keep it?)

bob marley...I did not notice any rotor brake light on the tail lights. The shift knob is a rotor and the valve stem caps are also rotors.
I think it will blow the 350z's doors off.....

They should be here any day now.
When the first one comes off of the truck I will come and post it on here.

I love all this rotory stuff they are doing to it. Sorry, I didn't mean in the tail lights. Its a 3rd brake light in between the exhausts. It is in the shape of a rotor. Check pic.



EDIT: copy and paste link, otherwise it will go to popkmart.ne.jp instead
