Hey

The Pro we have today is the evolved version of the 323 thats what protgs were before they were pros If u goto google and type in awd 323 it will bring up all the info u need or u can put in awd familia which is the Japanese spec version of the Pro or rather 323.
Hope that helps.

my family owned 2 of those, one was a green 4 door and the other a blue hatch, nice little cars and last forever, they still make them in my country.

and they also have the protege but with the name of allegro.

and the 323 they sell there is just a 1.3!!!
 
In some countries, the current version of our Protege 5 is still called a 323.

The Protege 5 has been around since the introduction of the third gen Protege, it just wasn't released here until 2001 as a 2002 model. And called the Protege 5, no the 323.

The first generation Protege built in 1990 replaced the 323 sedan of that time. The 323 hatchback remained until 1992 I think, when it was discontinued in the US.

Always interesting to track the country to country changes on a car line. Mazda Colombia still sells the 323 (even in a Taxi version) and why not it was a "Great Little Car [GLC]", right? It hasn't changed at all from it's American run...even has the boxy mid-80s look in the interior.

Central America is full of old tooling that was shipped down from US plants (or Japanese) to continue creating older models long after they have passed on elsewhere. Example of this is the VW Type 1 (the old Beetle) has sold over 1 million units since assembly was moved to Mexico. It is called simply "Sedan" south of the border. It has the very simple to work on 1600cc motor that still bangs out 44hp with a four speed manual your only choice.

Notice that all the Colombian Mazdas are set very high for ground clearance and have narrow tires.

Yeah, when I went to Cancun (a year and a half ago) 90% of the cars on the road were beetles.
