Typo? Maybe Pretty big stretch from GM to Daimler/Chrysler, don't you think? No offense to Kain, in the slightest. Just wondering. Greg

And, just as a question...............isn't it Daimler/Chrysler who is involved with Mitsubishi, and NOT GM? Greg

Kain, I was not, and AM not, looking for "YES men" who agree with what I say. If that was the case, why would YOU respond? I value everybody's (opinions) here. Perhaps sometimes, the perception of the DELIVERY is questioned. And I would not belittle someone or call them names either...

Strange? The Salesman at the dealership I went to told me the side view mirrors were NOT heated. Also, I feel Mazda is missing the boat by not offering a 5 speed auto and AWD.

I have some questions about the new Mazda 3. Will a 5 speed automatic with manual shift ever be offered? Seeing as the 3 is based on the Volvo S40, will all wheel drive ever be an option? How about heated seats? Why didn't they offer heated side view mirrors? Any info would be appreciated...
