"That's clode to what we pay for a loaded Protege." You coming down with a cold or something there Jamie? |

Of course were going to complain....LOL It would be un-american to not complain about the price... You didnt really expect anything they call a looney to be worth anything do you? |

Dinu: The conversion to US dollars is sort of irrelevant. You and I are neither paid in US dollars or make 1.55 times as much as the average US worker. Face it, stuff is just way more expensive here. Boggse - Enough of your "its cold in Canada sarcasm" pal. I happen to dwell on the mild Left Coast where we have not had a hard frost yet this year. I have spring flowers blooming in my garden. Its paradise.... |

We did not have a day's temperature above freezing for 2 weeks now - or so. Lucky you! Dinu |

| I truly envy you then. I love Victoria. I wish I could go back all the time. Unfortunately, the only place my job ever sends me is Philadelphia. Philly isn't particularly warm this time of year. | |
| You fellow Canucks bring up a good point about comparing $USD to $CDN. I still have many ties to Canada, and currently own a Canadian vehicle with Ontario plates, yet live in Michigan. I am comparing prices constantly, TV's, stereo equipment, and yes even cars. The thing is, if I want to buy a car in Canada and then import it into the US, ie. Michigan plates and title, you need to pay duty on the car, if it's assembled outside North America. Something like 9% on the first $1000 USD and then 6% on the balance, all calculated on what the car is worth in the US. It pretty much nullifies any advantage to buying a non-NA vehicle in Canada and importing it. Such would be the case with a Pro or Pro5. | |

The Demio and Mazda2 are the same car, it's called the Demio in Japan and Mazda2 everywhere else - just like the Atenza is the Mazda6. If Mazda keeps this consistency, the Mazda3 will continue to be called the Familia in Japan. I've heard the rumours about the Mazda2 coming to Canada and I'm not surprised - it doesn't make sense for the US though. So what does this mean for the Mazda3? I think it means that they can put more content into the Mazda3 and make it more upscale - with the Mazda2 being the price leader. If so, the Mazda3 will literally be a mini-Mazda6, sweet!!! |

Mazda Premacy 1.8GSi (vs Fiat Multipla vs Citroën Picasso) 4CAR did not like it one bit! Sloppy handling! Said it was the car w/most safety features (ABS w/EBD, airbags everywhere, maybe TC???). But they did not like its handling!!! http://www.channel4.com/apps26/4car/special/videozone/main.jsp?pg- =2&make=Mazda&model=Premacy Dinu |

The Mazda2 is a replacement for the Demio, not the Premacy, so a road test of the Premacy (or the Demio for that matter) isn't relevant. Even if it were a road test of the Demio, it wouldn't tell us anything about the 2. That's like saying that a test drive of the 626 tells us what the Mazda6 is all about. The MAzda2 has not been introduced in Europe yet. It won't be until this spring. At this time, the new 2 is only available in Japan. |

Oops! Thought it looked like the 2... Dinu |
