He is serious, and please, don't call him Shirley :D sorry had to say it.

The new MKV Jetta looks very close to a Gen 9 Corolla.

But the European Corolla looks like the P5 also

if anything, the one on the right looks like a cross between an older civic hatch and bmw. i dont see mazda in anything posted here.
 
It figures. Everytime I mention I owned an '83 Shelby, people get jealous. (poke) :) Christ, I was doing smokey burn-outs and reverse donuts in that thing when half you guys were still pissin' your pants (thumb)

I'll have to dig out the picture of me proudly leaning on it with my mullet, stone washed Levi's and high-top Converse sneakers.....

Ah, the good 'ol days

hasn't the A3 been around longer than the P5? not in that body style or in this country, but maybe the P5 is a copy of the A3 since the A3 has been around since 96

not sure I'm on board with this one.. as a stretch you can say you see a p5 roofline in the a3, but that 2nd one looks more like the nissan sport compact concept than the mazda 3 IMO.

omg the Nissan Sport Concept.. damnit I need to start saving up just in case they decide to sell that thing here exactly as it in in the concept. That car is absolutely amazing.

Oh and to be on topic.. The A3 is missing one crucial part of the Protege5 DNA... they handle like s*** and don't have a rigid chassis.

Awesome; our shop manager told me he used to own one way back when. That warranty wasn't too bad back then either...(thumb)
 
Hey Mazda.... nice Nissan

i'm interested in how the Shelby, with 107hp/125tq, made 0-50 in 5.5 seconds.

*cough* magazine ringer *cough*

have you seen pics of the car nissan is actually bringing? w/out all the dress-up stuff, not nearly as good-looking. the sport concept is nice; the production versa, not so much.

the A3 doesn't have a rigid chassis? where did you get that? VW products might not handle great, but they certainly are solid. that's why they weigh so much. seriously: every review i've read of the A3 has said the same thing: built like a bank vault, handles pretty well and is plenty fun to drive, but it's not a sports car.

funny: that's pretty much the description of the P5's handling as well.
