I recently decided that I am going to try and get a Mazdaspeed Protege around the end of this year after checking them out at a dealership. On the board though, I see that there is supposed to be a 2003.5 version coming out with no foglamps and different interior and exterior styling. Does this mean that if I wait until the end of the year I will not be able to get an Orange Spice MSP, or will they sell the 2003's and 2003.5's side by side? Thanks in advance.

 

They will sell the 2003's until they are gone...So if you find a 2003, and 2003.5 side by side, you have your choice of which one you want. The only differences I knew of were the colors, in which I thought the 2003.5 exterior colors were going to be Titanium or a new shade of yellow...I hadn't heard about the no foglights or interior differences...Sounds like a new WRX STi...
