Ford/Mazda is going to whore that 2.3l Turbo motor out. It is supposed to find its way into the next SVT Focus. If it is anything like the Turbo'd 2.0l in the Protege, then it probably isn't worth the extra money.

I'd rather see them do something with the existing 3.0l V6 and throw in the AWD from the Jag X-type. Mazda is never going to be able to compete with the EVO, STi, or even the lowly 1.8t Jetta...so whats the point of making another lackluster "tuner" car?
