Mazda's goal was to find the perfect median between family vehicle and sports car. So that has definitely been accomplished. If they came out with this 6 months ago I would have gotten it instead. I've yet to drive one but the dealer nearest me is getting a load of 14 this month. 10 of which are already sold.

Is it for sure they are coming out with a turbo in '05?? Just a two door model or both?

It is a sweet ride..

Lose the "Saturn" doors and add a turbo - man I can't wait. Very well engineered car.

2005 looks like it's going to be a good year.

If you think a header is going to give you 80 hp, you are sadly mistaken.

Mazda has once again done something that no one else has been able to accomplish.
1. most n/a rotary Horsepower.
2. Four seater sports car.
It actually does have room for 4. Just last monday I was screwing around with one and was able to fit a person in the back confortably with the drivers seat all the way back.

I like the looks of the sucide doors. I dont think it looks much like a saturn. At first I hated the sucide doors, but once spending some time with the car I loved it.

just take a look around at all of the comparsions coming out.....the rx8 is winning with everyone.

Personally I don't care for the styling, but I'm more into old school.

mp5girl....where did you get your figure.
Lindell mazda has 18 of the alocated to them by august with 6 of them sold.
