Anyone else notice the "POS" button to the upper right of the shifter? I wonder what that does...make all the badges read "Ford"?

Just take a look at how much stuff they have stripped off from the P5 as an example.
I have a post here in another page showing how much they have stripped off from the P5.

Did anyone in Canada notice the difference between our 3 and the US version? They have the S,i, and 5 door S. Our four door GS only has the 1.8L engine and not very much in the way of accessories. The american S (I think) has the 2.3L and a but load of accessories. It sucks because the car I want is exactly the american S. It is only 15-16,000 compaired to 20-21,000 for the one I want without the 2.3L. damn!

Hey Trogdor. where did you get your info? the mazda 3 gx and gs has the 2.0 148 hp motor. Not the 1.8. Check the mazda canada site for details. Also if you convert 21000 US straight to canadian at 1.25 or .75 can per US dollar we shuold pay 26250 for a 21000 US car. But in Canada, cars do not float with the exchange
rate. cars are subsidized because we are a smaller market

We can always upgrade the speakers and hopefully add a power amp if needed. I noticed from the info downloaded that there are steering wheel mounted stereo controls-that negates upgrading the head unit (if you want to keep the controls).
