2003 MazdaSpeed
Don't know if it is 2003 or 2003.5, but I don't like it! The bright yellow color was alright, but the oval exhaust tip and the new spoiler?! 
Terrible! I didn't even take the time to look over the rest of the car, as I was almost late to work. Gotta say though, the black MazdaSpeed 
and the Sentra SE-R

How can you say this is ugly...
I'm sorry, I get so many looks as I drive, not to mention the sound of the blow off valve really suprises a lot of people. Also , which I thought was great, when I saw another Mazdapseed owner driving, I was next to him, and instead of reving at me and trying to race, he gave a friendly wave and a smile, really gives a good name to Mazdaspeed owners in my opinion...

Ah yes, and the latest one I saw had no fog lights...only grill covering the holes where they should have been. What's up with that?!

However, I wonder if they actually direct air to the rotors, or just point it in their general direction like the front air dams on the 93-95 RX-7 R-1/R-2 and 94-97 R-Package Miata.

However, I think that the 3 is coming out later than normal and 2003 is going to wind up being an extra long model year for the Protege, like the 97 Miata, 91 RX-7, and/or 69 Camaro.
