Look at the JDM Protege "Field Break"

[BondoBob]

While digging around the Mazda domestic website, I found this interesting version of the Protege5 meets the Subaru Outback...

Very interesting and very likely a new variant for Mazda USA, IMHO.

I love this option:

Those are some slick taillights

I want them now.

The grey, matte plastic body cladding looks weak.
The alloys look improved.
The sidesill sidemarkers are hellacrazylookin'.

sidemarkers ??

I translated the text using altavista world translate.

Being linked with the ground illuminational lamp built-in side under protector key less entry system and the opening and closing operation of the door, it builds in the ground illuminational lamp which lights up, to the side under protector. The road surface the light/write is raised, is supported smooth getting on and off even such as the place where foothold is bad darkly.

cool they're not sidemarkers. they light up the ground when you open the door or unlock the car.

Interior changes look great, I love the seats and yeah that little tray would be pretty cool. The sidemarker/entry illumination lights or whatever you call them I think look pretty cool and unique. Wheel options also would be welcome and if I'm reading between the Japanese lines it looks like the FS-ZE engine and a 4WD version? Some Great stuff...

BUT, lower half body cladding is strictly Aztek/Grand Am...looks totally crappy IMHO. Leave the basic body alone. Pop in the sidelights and the revised tailights and all the interior and engine stuff...that'd be an interesting car. Keep the GM look cladding in the closet somehwere.

Kinda off topic

I saw in the most recent issue of Motor Trend they are coming out with the Mazda 6. Sedan and wagon with a V-6 option and AWD. Hmmm. Might have to look into that one.

I need to check out that article when I get home. Can't download the translator at work.
