Mazdaspeed Protege5???

Has anyone out there heard anything substatial about Mazda bringing us a Mazdaspeed Protege5? It seems natural, and with what seems to me to be excellent sales response to the Pro5, I can't figure why they wouldn't. I know I'd camp out to buy one. Anyway, what's been rumored if anything?

i don't think it will happen. i've heard zero rumours that one is coming.

i'd be all over it if they did though. i need the hatch space.

Aside from the pic that was on CarAndModel of the new MazdaSpeed kit on a P5 and insignia across the windshield. Other than that, ????.

I don't think that will happen either. Considering that Mazda already took out the fog lights of the latest MazdaSpeed Protege, the one shown at SEMA:

there is no way a MazdaSpeed P5 were to exists without those fog lights.

this is what i'm hoping for. a mazdaspeed with a hatch in the redesigned car.

that and the wagon version of the mazda6 should be out by then so i'll have some options.
