I don't know if anyone else feels the way i do.. but look.. I could never have enough HP under my hood. I could never get enough of the handling either. So Mazda is going to obvisouly give people like me what they want.. and faster protege with good handling. Also, Mazda redesigns the protege every 4 years. They need to keep up with this as it is now 1999-2003. 2004 is their time. And i welcome the new change! This was no bad news.. it was all good news! I'm glad to hear Mazda has grown some *****!

 

i just can't wait to see the design. hopefully they'll also throw in a 3 door hatch. i say everyone start saving money from now. because every1, even those who are hating the change, is going to want one.

Hey does anyone know if they showed the design to the dealers the other day? I am dying to see the new design. I am very curious about the interior, it will no doubt be a leader in every way. I thought Mazda was going to unviel the 3 at the Tokyo motor show but it turns out every other year the Tokyo motor show is just for commercial vehicles. So we will probably be seeing the 3 somewhere in the US.

 

the only thing im wonder is the price. Im thinking about 22-24k canadian

 

what i'm wondering is if the 4th gen engines/trany's would fit in are third gen Pros....now that would be sweet!!!!!!
