Mazda is a small player in the world of car manufacturers.

 

Mazda needs to buy one of Fords old factory's here in the U.S., retrofit it for flex manufacturing, and start building Mazda3's here.

Mazda can sell another 100,000 3's if it could make them. The more profits da better for us.

 

I originally like the new civic in pictures, then I actually saw one and hated it. Oddly enough I originally hate the new Eclipse, but ended up liking it after actually seeing it.

Just goes to show pictures arn't everything.

Oh yah, and the Mazda3 kick's *** IMO, so does my wife she liked it so much we bought one for her, I don't think there is another car in that price range with the style and comfort or the Mazda3.

 

38% decrease in RX-8 sales, ugh...

 

i looked the new civic at the auto show- seemed it had more leg room in the back than the accord coupe. the accord coupe looked horrible too compared to the civic coupe IMO

 

yes ike but that is a different thread. check the RX-8 media section
