Has anyone returned from the Toronto Auto Show yet? I saw they had a orange MSP up on a ramp at the Mazda display during a "preview" news report on Global. Do they have any 2003.5's there, or does Chicago get all the good stuff?
 
I hope they have a 2003 on the floor that I can sit in.
I really want to decide if I like the look/feel of the car in person.
It's weird buying a car you haven't actually SEEN.
 
um you dont have to buy the car before you see it. you put a fully refundable $500 down and when the car comes in u see it and drive it then decide

its not that complicated
 
I just returned...

They have a orange 2003, a yellow 2003.5 and a grey 2003.5. Seeing all three together....I am sticking with orange
 
damn I am going tomorrow can't wait to see the orange one since I haven't got mine yet on tuesday my dealer is getting a release form saying when I get mine, I should just steal the one at the show;)
 
I think I will head down tomorrow (Sunday) as well.
All I got to see in Detroit was one gray one sans-spoiler. *pout*
Must remember to bring the digital camera...

And anyone with FRS, put it on channel 3 or channel 3 sub-channel 23 :)

Don't forget to check out the TOprotege booth on the upper level of Skydome as well.
 
The FRS sounds like a cool idea.....
too bad, i won't be there.....
it would be cool to talk to some of you guys....:cool:

Take LOTS of pictures of those MSP.
 
I was there yesterday (saturday) they have none that you can sit in, all locked. The yellow is nice, it's a metallic yellow unlike my car which is not. The grey is also very nice. I would have lots of piucs but by the time I reached Hamilton I realized both my cameras (digital and SLR) were in my camera bag which was still on the kitchen floor! We did have my fiance's little APS camera, so when I get pics from that developed I'll post them.
 
you really have to see these in person...pictures just do not work...the grey is out in my book...the yellow is actually nicer than I thought...the orange is awesome...

We spoke with a REAL mazda guy, not just a salesman and they know all about our wait for the car and are embarrassed about it...


NEWF...if I was you I would change my mind again....lol
 
I don't care if their embarrassed about it, they should be it's called bad business. I want the damn cars.

I'm actually considering not getting a speed all together lately.
 
I might be with you newf

I'm starting to waiver a little bit too newf. If they end up delaying the .5s until August here in the US too I'm not sure if I can wait that long with my lease being up. And I know that by the time I'm ready to buy in June there won't be any 03s left either.

On top of that my wife is telling me every day that if i got the MSP I would be constantly missing the no sunroof, no cruise control and no fogs. I guess I'm starting to sway back toward to Spec-V again.

I'm sure that'll change about a hundred times before June anyways.

Hope Grimace comes back from the Toronto show with some nice pics to sway me back. :)
 
So sunroof should be your biggest concern. Why anyone would miss no criuse control on a car like this is beyond me. As for fogs, that's easily fixed.

But, I know where your coming from. I tell ya, the biggest thing driving me nuts right now is the lack of advertising and information about this cars. I mean would it kill Mazda to actually release some pics of the all 3 colors? We have to resort to hours of searching on the internet to find some 1/2 decent picture. With all of the time these guys got because of the delays, they could at least have someone take a couple of hours, photograph the cars, and post it on their web site or something.

Guess that means Mazda would actually have to DO something and get off their asses. That's never going to happen.

Yes, I'm becoming biter about Mazda.
