1) There appears to be two storage bins behind each of the rear seats OR there are release handles to lower each rear seat individually.*

2) Looks like the car will be coming with side-curtain airbags**

3) BOSE sound system listed**

4) List of comfort and conviences features says only front windows go down (i.e. appears rear windows will be fixed)**

5) 61 litre tank capacity**

Anyone else spot anything new?

From the window sticker it appears a Torsen LSD will be available. Yes! This means Mazda is serious about making the car handle well and be fun to drive (throttle steer). I sure wish we could have a bit more torque.

However, the sticker also mentions a "two cylinder Renesis engine". Thems be one big set of pistons.:D

Xenon headlights..........I'm loving those. This must be the fully loaded 30K car. I can tell from the 18" rims on the spec sheet. Time to save up!!

I only see the rear door on the drivers side. Will there be no rear door on the pass side? That's gonna make it kinda tough for gal in a skirt sitting behind the passenger. I hope this is just a concept oversight and the production car will have both doors.

The car defiantly has four doors.
