Come to think of it. I can't imagine any other market that Mazda can insert itself into without staying true to the image its crafting for itself and without diluting it's current lineup. It would fit perfectly in the N.A. lineup!
The MX-Micro Sport looks SOOOOOOO much better than the milktruck Xb ( I think that's the right one). The rear is very aggressive, and I doesn't look like it has 14 inch wheels I like the "credit card" system of driver preferences stored on it, but I doubt that will make it to production. If this car is around 14-15K nicely equipped, it should be a hit!! Move over Toyota!!
I don't like the headlights... they aren't very Mazda-like The rest looks too much like the Ford Fiesta/Fusion. But the Mazda looks a lot better and cooler, but nevertheless; too much Ford!
It looks like this car may become the next Mazda/Ford joint project, a la Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute... I'd expect some minor changes to the front fascia in order to inject some "mazda-ness" into the car: headlights and grille need some tweaking. Otherwise, I think it looks great!
The card is sort of like a key. It holds the driver's personal information (all sorts of info) and unlocks the red ignition button so you can start the car...
You can bet that won't make it to production. I doubt we'll be seeing a fluorescent pink centre console display any time soon, either. They'll probably give it the squinty-eyed lights that we all love, and a steering wheel that it matches their other models. Mazda can't reveal all of its cards at once! Anyway, I still like the car. It's a nice concept.
This will be an autocross monster. 148 HP, perhaps 2400-2500 lbs, 17x7.5 inch rims. Watch our Minis, you got competition. PLEASE oh PLEASE bring it to NA!
Schweeeeet!!! I drive a 93 Ford Festiva aka "rebadged MZ/Kia/Ford 121" since new. I've been looking into a new car for the past year. Not because of any problems, just want a new car.
I've looked at Focus, SVT Focus then MINI to MINI Cooper S. Then came all the buzz about the Scion. Along the way, I heard aboud the RX8 then the MZ PRO5 and the Matrix.
Then the MZ3 came into view and that was it. Once I drove it, I know. Must have. Now my G/F wants one too. Twins - Lava Orange, man. 3s HB, Xenon, ABS and moonroof.
