No MP3 for 2002?

So why isn't Mazda offering an MP3 for 2002? Perhaps the 2001 version was just a toe-dipping test of the market. But neither Mazda nor anyone else interested in capturing today's young drivers ought to wait too long before coming out with more cars like the MP3. The multimillion dollar compact-sport parts market ought to be evidence enough. So should all the comments and appreciative glances that the bright-blue MP3 earned in my week behind the wheel.

There will be a 2002 MP3 according to Hunter from protegetech who knows someone in MP3 Development. He gets some inside scoops from them.

When i was looking for my mp3 two weeks ago i talked to someone at mazda usa and i was told they wanted to keep the 2002 mp3 "hush hush" . It is supposed to come out mid feb. Thats all i was told. I hope this helps. Luckily i found a yellow mp3 5 days ago a bought it. It was supposidly the last mp3 in Michigan. i was just at the right place at the right time.
