Lets talk about 2003 no more 2002.5

[Juddd]

Anybody have any news about the 2003? Any changes to it, or has mazda not even said anything about the 2003 MP5.

If you are going to wait for 2003 wait a little longer. Check out the Mazda 6. Intial relase is going to be a 4-door sedan with a 5-door wagon model following in about 6 months.

Motor Trend did an article 2 months ago on it.

From the article there will be options for a V-6 and perhaps even an AWD option if I remember correctly.

Yeah I was reading the article yesterday in a doctors office. The standard motor will have 150hp and the optional motor is a 3.0 V6 pushing over 200hp. Also it said the chassis would support AWD but it wasn't available yet.....I just wish we had the V6 option on our P5's...

What mag was that in???

 

[OurP5]

Motor Trend. Not last month, but the month before. When I get home I'll try and find the exact month.

 

[OurP5]

Found it!

It is in the June 2002 issue.

June 2002/Volume 54/Number 6 issue.

You can also get some info on the M6 at this link:

Here are the changes to the P5 for the 2002.5 that I know of for a fact.
1. Activematic tranny option
2. leather interior option
3. tweeter speakers like the civic has
4. deeper cup holders
5. I know there are a couple others but I cant think of them right now.
