How many posts have there been about this? Way too many. Lets look at it from mazda's point of view. They have a car that really appeals to young people. Cheap, good suspension, good sound system. The only negative is it's weak engine. These cars would fly off the lot if mazda made more of them. Why stop producing a good thing? I think the most believeable rumor going around is the one about making the next MP3 turbo. That would cover the only negative that the MP3 has. Who knows if they will make any more. You'll just have to wait and see.
