I have had the 5 door and wagon confirmed for spring 2003. A red 5-door 3.0 litre MTX loaded is my next car.

Wagon looks slick to me. Perhaps another consideration for my next car. (Current thought is WRX wagon)

The hatchback looks good. They only talk about th 2.3L engine on the engine section. They should mention the 3.0L. I don't like the wagon. All these cars I keep seeing look like Foci. My next car=dodge viper

It comes in 3 trims, 4door sedan, 5door hatchback and also a wagon. My personal favorite is the 5door hatchback. This car should be in showrooms in the next few months...

With a whopping 170hp. Frankly, I was expecting more. Sigh. Oh well.
Yes. "170 hp." Like the old Mazda turbos that were rated at 150 hp, but were 150 at the wheels. Like the SVT Focus that is actually around 190 hp. Like the new cobra that has 390 kp but was tested by MMFF at 381 at the wheels. Like the Camaro Z28 that is rated at 305 hp but really has 330 hp. Like the......

One thing that gets me is the import heads say "Oh, I don't know about the Ford V6, it's the weak link."
Mazdas V6s weren't paragons of quality, so too bad if it's not 100% Nipponese. :p

I found this on the Mazda Japan website about a AWD Mazda 6. Very Cool.... http://www.mazda.com/publicity/public/200206/0620e.html It might come out garbled if you don't have the IE Japanese text plug-in.
