I love the look of these Mazda's. for some odd reason they not selling well. Why. I don't know. SUV's Perhaps, Pretty sweet motor overall.
I think price is a part of it. IIRC in the Car and Driver manual trans hatchback comparison, Mazda3 is the most expensive of the bunch.

Being a smaller company means they can't leverage off economy of the scale as much as bigger manufacturers. They are also trying to go upmarket which also may have something to do with it.

Make sense. Their quality has been top notch too...I just throw that out there randomly.

their plant in Mexico is pretty new, so i would imagine products coming out of there would be good too...it's not some old factory from the 60s stringing along on outdated equipment.

Congrats!  I once went to the dealer for a $2 plastic elbow for a windshield washer line...and came home with a new truck.  ;D

Have we had pictures yet?  Or didn't I go back far enough?
