If any of you read Super Sreet they did a small piece about the Mazda 3. They also dropped a very heavy hint that upon release that there could be a Mazdaspeed version of the 3. It would be great for us speed owners if Mazda goes ahead and kills the protege. That way we dont have to worry about seeing them everywhere we look(civics and other imports). I know i would never buy another Mazdaspeed car. Price doesnt match what we bought. Hell for 4 grand more you could get the WRX. oh well just my .02.........
Sorry if this is an old link, but it mentions the Mazdaspeed Miata being turbo-charged and available early next year. As an added bonus it will remind everyone of our good friend "Smolten."

From what I had heard regarding the warranty is Calloway was willing to warranty the parts for the US market. I forget what the US warranty is.
Canada get's a better (or longer) warranty in both years and mileage. Calloway grudgingly gave up and said they would warranty the parts. Mazda was not happy.
On top of that all of the ECU program issues with the cold weather start and such. The fact the Mazda had to rebuild every motor on the dock once the MSP's got over here. Etc., etc. ,etc...Things Mazda looks at Calloway and says they didn't do a good job from the get go.

And, as far as RARITY goes, I would say the BLACK MSP and MP3 would be the rariest of all....
Hell, we didnt even get black in canada for either!

Good thinking. You got to love how Mazda brings out these 'Limited Edition' colours and then, in the next run, makes it a factory colour. IE, Yellow P5 was supposed to be a limited colour, Lazer Blue Mica (MP3) was suppose to be limited and even the MSP colours (Spicey Orange Mica, Yellow Mica and Titanium Mica) were suppose to be 'LE' colours but they are avaialable on the new Mazda 3 (Although with different names, ex. Titanium Mica is now called (in the JDM market anyways) Titanium II).
The only REAL 'LE' colour appears to be the Green and Sandelwood colours of the sedans because they are not available on the wagoons...
