It was a limited edition in 2002...but it was so popular they made more for 2003. They just wanted yellow for the commercials but didn't think people would want to buy them. When I bought my LaserBlue in January of 2003 there were no Yellows available in my area. But perhaps that was just some salesperson mumbo jumbo that I believed.

Dude king, yellow03p5, no offense really but I gotta say that is the most inspired misspelling of "threatened" I've ever seen: threghtend! (rofl) It's so bad but it works perfectly! I'm honestly not knocking you b/c then I'd have to play grammar nazi to half the people on this board, LOL. 
Seriously though, those wagon knockers are just peetards, they wish their ride was as sweet. 
Seriously though, those wagon knockers are just peetards, they wish their ride was as sweet. I went to the mazda dealer during the 1st week the P5 came out. I asked about the Yellow color. I was told its was a special order color and to get it, it would cost 2k more than the red P5 I was looking at. I said good luck with selling the yellow ones like that. I told him if I really wanted yellow, I would buy some other color and spend the 2k getting it painted yellow instead of giving an extra 2k to Mazda. He was like, um let me see what I can do. I said, don't worry about it, I don't want yellow anyway. Then I left that dealership and went to another one that had a Red 5 speed since there was oly one in all of Omaha.chuyler1 said:

Lol, the stories they tell...MSP5 said:
I was shopping around for dealers and was looking for yellows. This one dealership had none but the guy really wanted to push a black one on me - kept saying that the yellows have had problems with chipping and flaking.
Idiot, they all have that problem

My single favorite story about my car EVER is as follows:
I parked my car in the Brunos (grocery store) parking lot and as I was walking in, a middleaged guy sitting on the bench outside said "Nice car." I said thanks a lot and walked in the store. I spent at least 15-20 minutes getting all my stuff and checking out and stuff, but as I walked out, the guy jumped up and ran over to me and said "What the hell kinda car is that?!" I said "Mazda Protege5" He got the most confused look on his face and said "Yeah, that's what it says on the car, but what kind of car is it?! I mean the proteges are 4-doors, right?" I took him over to my car and calmy explained all about the P5, MSP, and MP3 and took him for a very spirited ride around the parking lot. When we got back to where he was waiting for his wife to come out of the store, he just said "Wow man, that is an awsome car" and sat down. It was marvelous.
I get a lot of the Focus/Matrix/WRX s*** too. I usually yell at em when they suggest the ford or yota, but just say thanks when they question the subbie influence

HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL
some kid at a recent car show: "thats a neon"
there were 3 more 5's from our group parked right next to me, and only 1 actual neon in the show.
have been asked how I liked my matrix before (and I promptly corrected them)
the ones I like though are the comments from the dealer guys (who obviously haven't seen many modded 5's)

Dealer guys can be so stupid. I got a free coupon for an oil at the dealership.
I was hanging around the parts counter so I couldkeep an eye on the car through the window. Any way I asked the parts girl about a price check on a MAZDASPEED exhaust. She said whats a Mazdaspeed? Their top sales man quickly replied, " Its a new design that Mazda is thinking about doing in the future." The time frame was April of 04.
Just last month I was at my In-Laws and their neighbor said that he liked my blue Ford Focus.

I dont understand how anyone can get paid to hang out around and talk about cars all day, much less a very specific and small group of cars, and not know EVERYTHING about every single one. If i was a salesman, I would know every spec of every car on the lot down the the cam lift and gear ratios, just to freak out the occasional kid (like me) that asks really technical questions just to piss off the salesman.rednecks_r_us said:
i STILL have people trying to CONVINCE me that my car is fast. my neighbor keeps telling me that his friend has one and that the car is fast and the security guard here after both of us watched a p5 being pulled out of a lake in the community after a drag race (see another post) kept telling me that p5s are fast cars.slkt said:
