Gran Turismo 4 is in da HOUSE!!!!
Well everybody, I am very sick, but not too sick that I couldn't pick up my copy of GT4 yesterday. I ripped open the packaging and popped it in and guess what I found... Of the 650+ cars in the game, 1 of them is the Mazda Protege! (WE'VE FINALLY MADE IT INTO A VIDEO GAME!!! WOO HOO!!) Specifically speaking, Sport-20 Familia according to the stats and body styling, although it says that it's just the '02 sedan, but no regular sedan I know of came stock with 165 hp. I plan on driving with it in the game today and I'll give a full road test to anyone who wants it.
*note: MP3 owners may be pissed, I didn't see Laser Mica Blue as one of the color options...
**note 2: There are nearly 30 Mazdas in the game. Anywhere from 1st, 2d, and 3d gen RX-7s, to RX-8s, Mazda 6s, Mazdaspeed 6, the Pro, the Diemo, and a bunch more others including the Mazda savior, the 737B.

a few things though....mp3's were only available in 01, they were 140bhp, not 165bhp, they only came in blue and yellow....what they're showing you as a "protege" is most likely a sport20 with us MS body kit on it.
I'll pick mine up today and start wasting away in front of the tube...I've spent 2 years fattening up so I could go weeks without eating.

I still have to get GT4 for me....hopefully soon. The NFSU series is cool stuff.
But I've been thinking. You know they should have a Junkyard Turismo or something with all the cars that never made it to GT3/4 or something. Stuff like 2nd gen Pros, old Integras, Legends, 92-5 Civics, 929s, Mirages, LS 400s, just odd ball kinda stuff that no one would think about putting in a game because the cars are the antithesis of high performance.
Though I am glad that we at least got some representation, Protege style.
