This is a reply from Mazda Canada.
Question - With talk of the new P5's coming soon, I've heard that it will be using a Ford Focus platform etc. I would be sad to see the P5 under the control of Ford.
Answer - from Mazda Canada
As for the Ford influence - Mazda is designing the platform and engine and they MAY be using some ford components - but it is totally designed by Mazda engineers. Mazda is in charge of all 4 cylinder platforms for the Ford family, including Volvo. The vehicles will be sharing platforms but the look will be different for each make.
BOY DO I FEEL A LOT BETTER NOW!!!!!!!!!
Crap I forgot to ask where its being built Japan or North America
