Sightings.... In Puerto Rico!!!

[screaminglion]

Hello All. I am the owner of a strato blue mazda 5 and found it very odd that such an automobile wasn't as popular up here in the new york new jersey area.
Well I just spent 2 weeks in puerto rico and saw more in the first 2 days there than I've seen here since I purchased mine in october of last year.
They were there in every color and style..
With kits, lowered, with systems, different tints. Everything. I was so excited to see that the people of puerto rico know true style and are buying up this car so much...

Puerto Ricans have always embraced the Mazda lifestyle...oh and also Toyotas, but those have dwindled down as of lately.

Just got back from PR the other day. Man that was a great vacation. Drove back and forth from Condado (hotel) to Bayamon (abuelita's house) every day. Also went to Arecibo, Ponce, Luquillo, and a few other places I can't recall right now. I loved it down there, I want to move to PR now!

Mazda3 5 doors seem to be quite popular & and I saw probably a dozen Mazda5s, but it seemed like the most popular were the Mitsubishis. I saw tons of Lancers & Mirages. And the Nativa (Montego SUV) were very plentiful too.
Also saw a few Hummer H2s and some full size extended cab pick ups...I have no idea how those guys manage to get around down there (shocked)

No SRt4's, EVOs or WRX's?

 

[the_saint]

I only saw (or noticed) 1 or 2 SRT4s, maybe a dozen WRX (4 of which were STi) and maybe 25 genuine EVOs (current model). A lot of the older Mirage/Lancers kinda looked like EVOs, but I assumed that they were just dressed like EVOs.

Oh, and the Toyota Yaris, those things must be selling like hotcakes, they were all OVER the place! It was nuts...I saw so many that they started to grow on me (shocked)
