They seem pretty confident about the Mazda3.

I'm pretty sure that this car will meet and beat its sales target. Most ppl can afford this econo box and it looks like a baby MZ6.

It could do well in Europe where Mazda's sales are not huge, but here in NA it will most likely be what the PRO is: a great car overall, reliable, good interior materials, good driving dynamics, cheaper than the H/T, but NOT a hit w/buyers since most never shop Mazda anyway since they've been drilled to only look at H/T.

Sad, very sad

Well, the idea is just to increase sales from the Pro. Doesn't have to outsell H/T... that's what the Focus is for.

Well, I was thinking of switching to the 2005 focus, I need some sort of sporty economy car to replace my sunfire that's falling apart. Depends if the Mazda 3 or the Focus will be cheaper.
