And given the fact that import cars are keeping a higher resell value than domestic the Mazda is looking like its on the leader board.

Like I said this is all speculation and things may change over the next few months but thanks for the input guys.


I still like the idea of getting a newer cheaper car and then modding the tour.



Since when is Mazda an import?



Most of the Mazdas aren't foreign anymore(?)(correct me if I'm wrong), they used to be before Ford bought them out. Then they got better.



Yes that was my point. Ford has owned Mazda for a decent amount of time.



IIRC, Ford owns a minority stake in mazda. Something like 25%-35%. Much of the hand waving is still from Japan, especially the design and engineering.



Well apparently its enough stake where it is on Ford's website as part of their vehicle lineup.



apparently? i'm not disputing that at all. it's a "partner" company, not a wholy-owned subsidiary like Lincoln-Mercury. they have their own staffing, their own management, their own engineering, etc.... and the head honchos are in Japan.
