My list (in no particular order):[list=1][*]MORE HORSEPOWER, NOT THIS 130HP CRAP. At least 155/160 would be great![*]A little more bass in the stock audio system![*]17" or 18" (the holy grail!) wheels.[*]A quieter ride (I know it's mostly because of the roof racks though).[*]Larger sunroof.[*]AWD anybody?[*]The turbo in the P5 as an option.[/list=1]
I'd be in LOVE with my P5 (More than I already am!) with these features. I'd even be willing to pay some more for all this! Listen up, Mazda!

I'm a big fan of the rotary engine. 1.3l, 250hp NATURALLY-ASPIRATED! Can't WAIT for a Mazda Renesis Crate Program. I guess there are some that don't realize that Mazda has a rich history in the racing scene with hi-powered rotary-engined 7s. There's gobs of info available if you're interested at www.rx7forum.com.

 

But the maintance cost for rotary engine, especially for long term/high milage will be a nightmare for an economic car, right?

 

I hope they give it more power because the new suzuki aerio has been bumped up to 145 HP!!

 

Keywords here are NATURALLY ASPIRATED. If maintained properly--like any car--the NA rotories will go for 200k miles. It's those damned turbos that reduce engine life and increase headaches.

 

the thing I woud liie to see most is the pictures ... I know it's a redundant question but does anyone know when these can be expected?

 

also when does the new mazda3/protege come out in canada? is it the 2004 models? as in 6 months from now?

Plus the new high power version was designed to reduce heat wear on the apex seals. That seems to be a common gripe for the people who own the previous gens.

I have a new top two though:

1. Mazda - Go buy a Mini.
2. Mazda - Improve.

For you people who haven't driven one, it is one hell of a ride.
