not just yet. Maybe one of the threads you have a reply in got nuked or something (how ironic given your name) because you're down at 2,499. You should be ashamed of such a low count!!!

Hey Richard, did you not see the Mazda P6 when you were in California? You know, the stretched P5? So now it is not the doors obviously.

I had no idea the 5 meant how many doors it had. Cool, you learn something new every day.

I dont' feel so bad now

I wonder if they will make a 3-door hatch version for North America? it would be quite interesting to see how the Hatch would look with 3-doors and wide quarter panels in the rear.

Someone on this board has a photo shopped pic of a 3 door P5 in their sig (the one with the lighting bolt). it looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

where does MP3 come from? it's a 4 door. it can't be just because of the stereo?

i think it wasn't a "P6", it was just a "6", which is the new version of the "626". is that what you were talking about

maybe we could have a P6. it could have 2 doors in the back like an ambulance?

I would like to see that!
Mazda seems to always have unusual number systems to name their cars. 323, 626 what the hell does it all mean? I mean the MX3 has 3 doors but an MX6 has 6 cylinders. Even the Millenia (sic) denotes a number.

Yep, the MP3 was named becuase of the MP3 head-unit for the stock stereo, no other reason.
