To me the core issue is the radio / tech integration. If they fixed the ability to have sat radio and an Ipod integration unit that actually lets me control the ipod from the screen and have it charge without needing multiple, not quite right after market add-ons, and fixed the info displays so you didn't have to hit buttons to see your exterior temp, etc., I would forego the current model year mega sales and wait, even if it meant paying way more. But if they don't fix that and I missed the sales on this year's model my interest in the vehicle would seriously diminish. Replies to this message: nxs138 (Jul 29, 2008 9:41 am)

Replying to: citivas (Jul 28, 2008 7:35 pm) I would try to find a very early 2009 model as soon as they come out and play around with the equipment, since I'm sure salesmen and even Mazda Corp. might not be able to correctly describe what you need if you try calling them. There should still be a lot of 2008s on the lot by that point if you find that the integration is mediocre.   I agree with you, though, that if you don't have the NAV, that one-line display is crap-tacular. An Audi-like display in the dash would have been nice, with multiple lines, but noooo, we got the K-Mart special.

Replying to: cincyfball (Jul 28, 2008 6:22 pm) Thanks for the info. Mazda might have to raise MSRP for those add-ons. I bought a ScanGuageII to act as a trip computer. Replies to this message: tripoli (Aug 01, 2008 7:34 am)

Thanks. From this list -- the same as a previous poster -- I am not convinced they will have meaningfully changed anything for the new model other than the trip computer and it isn't clear what that does. Most of the changes just are making some options standard in various configurations.
