Toronto Auto Show - orange MSP is there, how about any 2003.5s?

[Newf]

Go tomorrow I can't wait until Sat


And it's the same stereo Although, I am really wondering if that mats are FINALLY mazdaspeed mats. If you can see inside the car, check the spedo, make sure it's NOT in MPH, and then look down. If it says Mazdaspeed on the mats that good indication that we'll finally get them

 

[Grimace]

Eh, I think we'll still get screwed. The yellow and titanium show cars don't even have turbochargers installed, so even if they have the mats and the speedo in km, take that with a grain of salt.
I'd rather have the U.S. alarm then the mats anyway.

It was funny because I read the yellow and titanium mazdaspeed stats beside the cars and they said at the bottom that the yellow and grey were US Models only and that the orange ones were for canada. Doesn't make sense to me but hey I know the yellow and greys are coming to canada so i don't know what the hell that was all about

Newf: chill on the Mazdaspeed mats, they aren't that great. Thin stuff that looks really econobox, just happens to have "MAZDASPEED" on it so you can read it as you get in. Anyway, if you really, Really, REALLY HAVE to have them, you could easily send some funds to somebody in Maine (closest to Newfoundland), they could buy them and have them shipped to you.

If it was me, I'd find a custom car upholstery shop and have some made up with decent carpet instead of this flat pressed crud Mazda ships. (canada)

 

[Newf]

I've heard they weren't so hot. I wouldn't actually buy them, way to $$$ for what they are.

 

[Newf]

I got these from my dealer, who got them from a person at MCI

I should have some more later on, hopefully some speeds. Mostly concept cars here.

I was at the show yesterday.
It was pretty good, about the same quality show as last year.
GM had an acrobatic display....
I must say, I am not happy with the quality of the fit on the front lip of the 2003.5's... Looks really "hurry! throw a lip on that sucker!"
Also, the 2003.5's that were there all had american quages (miles/h). I REALLY wanted to see the 2003 on level ground, and even sit in it. I was pretty upset that it was on such a crazy ramp.
At least I got to check out the underside.
I will not wait for the 2003.5, it's 2003 for me.

 

[Newf]

isn't it possible the lip was "thrown on" quickly for show purposes?

 

[Logan]

I don't think so, the paint is all the same. Both cars looked like ready to sell 2003.5's to me.
Well, ready to sell in the states anyway.
I don't like that oval exhaust tip...
boo

 

[Newf]

i don't get why people make a such big deal over an oval exhaust tip. not that Logan is, but some people have.

It's an tip. If your a mode'er, its gone anyhow.

Personally, one of the things I don't like about my mp3 is the space between the rear bumper, and the exhaust tip. It's too big. I've even had people follow me, and notice how much the space is, and that the pipe moves around quite a bit. It Doesn't make a noise or anything, but it does move around easily.

I'll have to see the new one in person before deciding. BUT. I do like how they have the rear skirt is more integrated with the pipe, like it fits better, tighter. So, it's like a trade off. and, that pipe is supposed to sound deeper then the 2003 which doesn't have a rumble or growl anything like the MP3. So, the pipe to me....is no big deal.

Better integrated into the bumper. Deeper sound. The only thing I'll miss is the lettering written on both sides of it

 

[Newf]

will someone please goto this show, and take their camera?

 

[AutoXer]

Amen to that, Newf.

 

[Limited Edition]

i found this!

Hey Guys..
i found only 1 picture from the Toronto Auto Show....
but i guess these is a good idea at how they put the car up on the ramp.

 

[Newf]

hey, our cars could put hummers to shame with the ability to climb like that

Damn those tires are sticky

 

[oliver2000]

There was supports holding the wheel in place

 

[Newf]

I was kidding you know that right?

LOL

 

[oliver2000]
