#21 of 2744 Article: Mazda increases 2003 ad budget for 3 launches by wongpres Feb 19, 2003 (1:40 pm)
Article:   http://www.autonews.com/article.cms?articleId=42539   "CEO Charlie Hughes says most of the ad budget is going toward three product launches - the Mazda6, which replaces the 626 and Millenia; the RX-8 sports car, due this summer as a 2004 model; and a third new vehicle, which he declined to identify."   The 3rd vehicle being the Mazda3 around the December timeframe?   As an aside, Autobild reports that the Mazda3 will go on sale in Germany in Oct '03.   I still think that we (as in Canada) won't get it till calendar year '04.
#22 of 2744 2.0l engine by bluong1 Feb 20, 2003 (7:51 am)
correct me if I'm wrong but I read that the new 2.0l engine will not be equipped with the variable valve timing (VVT) as in the case of the new 2.3l and the 3.0l V6 on the Mazda6.   Bruno
#23 of 2744 Mazda, please... by mikus Feb 28, 2003 (7:37 pm)
...do not add "aero" cladding as part of "Sportif" package. Make it totally separate. You have already uglified american Mazda6 enough. And please, bring CVT!   And what is up with Peugeout 307 styling?   Now I just have to wait: either Matrix with 2.4 (I hope on this), or Mazda3 with 2.3 Yeah!
#24 of 2744 Mazda3: Preliminary packaging info (for USA) by wongpres Mar 03, 2003 (6:27 am)
They're starting to work on the packaging for the Mazda3 now. Here's some preliminary info:   4-door sedan: - 2 models, Mazda3i and Mazda3s (like the Mazda6). 2.0l (148hp) for the i, and 2.3l (160hp) for the s.   5-door wagon: - only one trim with the 2.3l engine
#25 of 2744 Wow! by dinu01 Mar 03, 2003 (6:36 am)
148 and 160 HP?   That's a lot for a small car.   Tee Hee! Can't wait to find out more   Dinu
#26 of 2744 engines... by bpwpr5 Mar 03, 2003 (8:47 am)
I wasn't aware that the 4-door would get the 2.3--where is this info coming from? It would make sense, but I don't know if it would continue to be Mazda's volume leader given the obvious price difference between the two engines--how many new "Proteges" could they sell at that elevated price? Nonetheless, I hope what you say is true! The 2.3 for the 5-door is almost a sure bet, though.
#27 of 2744 hmmm by maltb Mar 03, 2003 (10:05 am)
I wonder what 2.0l engine that is. Anyone know if it's the Zetec?
#28 of 2744 You've got to be kidding. by mazdafun Mar 03, 2003 (10:56 am)
YOU'RE asking that, malt?   Now, I'm going to leave before the flaming starts.
#29 of 2744 there is very little info out on this car by maltb Mar 03, 2003 (11:03 am)
I'm curious...where do they get a 148hp 2.0l from?
#30 of 2744 Mazda3 2.0l by wongpres Mar 03, 2003 (11:47 am)
From my understanding, the 2.0l for the Mazda3 is the one from the European and Japanese Mazda6 (and a variant of this engine is also in the MX Sportif showing this week in Geneva).
