MazdaSpeed MP5

[PuertoRicanMP5]

Just like to let you guys know.. I went to my mazda dealership in Louisville KY. And found out from the "Mazda Guy" that they will have the Mazdaspeed Mp5 in two weeks. They said they will be the only mazdaspeed dealership in Louisville. He told me he'd give me a call to be the first to test drive it. I'm looking foward to see what this car can do.
I'll let you guys know whats up in two weeks...(rockon)

A Mazdaspeed Protege, or a Mazdaspeed Protege 5. If you meant MP5 I have a feeling that there was some miscommunication.

 

[PuertoRicanMP5]

i'll double check but he did say Protege 5

 

[KYREDP5]

I have a feeling you were just talking to a ignorant salesman. Really irks me when I know more about the line of cars they sell than they do...

 

[shawnthemonster]

it could be true. check this out.

 

[KYREDP5]

Yes it could be true. But with the MSP Mazda had 2pg advertisment in EVERY car mag. I thin we would have heard something. ircc That pic isn't from Mazda, it's an independant owner's car that put Mazdaspeed stickers on it.

I wanna know were you can buy the front lip on that bumper. If you look closely the lip is attached just like an autoexe lip would.

 

[FuNwaGoN]

I actually think it is an entirely new bumper. If you notice there isn't a side maker on the bumper anymore. Unless he had just that shaved. Whatever it is I think I like it. Pretty sweet looking P5. Nice and clean. And coming from the top guy that I have been working with on my car problems and lemon law requirements he says " the next car to come from Mazdaspeed will be either the miata or the 6. He also said right now they have no plans for a Mazdaspeed P5." This was Mazda Coporate not a dealer.

 

[Equinox]

notice he also has mp3 headlights

 

[shawnthemonster]

i dont know. that p5 has the same bumper and lip as the mazdaspeed protege refresh, no bumper reflectors w mp3 headlights (so its street legal). idont think you can get that bumper or lip yet.

If it was true, it would be more like this:

MAZDASPEED Protege5 Turbo charged and all.

For all we know, the P5 could be more succesful in sales as the Golf GTi did with the Jetta GLi back in the days...

 

[sundevilMP5]

i don't think mazda would release another mazdaspeed so quickly and without even advertising it in the least...

 

[InitialDMP5]

it could be a 2003.5 P5 option package or something. I think that much like in Japan, Mazda will start offering mazdaspeed versions of all their cars. and if it isn't, maybe the guy in the picture that shawnthemonster posted just works for mazda and was able to get the 2003.5 MSP parts and put em on the P5.
