Hey wuzzup pyske, i know that there coming out with a new Sport-20 releasing in japan soon. Go to www.protegetech.com that should give you what the specs might be, because they said that if they release it in the U.S., that there gonna use the Protege5 and maybe if they're lucky they might sport the sport-20 in a sedan also.
Sport-20:
170hp Fs-ze engine
DOHC 16-valve I-4
avametic transmission
hid halogen headlights
i hope that helped. good luck on your choice!!!!

Japan already has the Sport 20 in a sedan and a wagon...
The ones we have one are better than that newer ones but i guess all cars are taking a shape leaning towards the futuristic look. Who disagrees ? If P5 (new one sport - 20 called P5) was to come here then it would also be here with the new 170 hp engine as standard since that will effect the price how high will they jack up the price for the car ? And aswell I have checked out the site you provided I like the P5 (s-20 Wagon) manily cause of the tranny they are making standard the Automatic transmisson with the mmanual too. But I live in Canada and when is it going to come here and again what price range are we talking about here
Thx

This isn't futuristic. It's european. There is a big difference between asian and european styling. THat pic is very bmw/audi/mercedes styled even down to the ubiquitous silver metallic that most european cars are featured.
Notice many neon yellow bmw/audi/mercedes driving around?
Definitely an asian thing.
my 2 cents.

actually I like that...but I believe its the wagon version of another of their concepts/soon to be production models...NOT the P-5....and take a close look at the front....it is so close to the front of the Audi TT its not funny.....Stab an Audi badge on it and you could EASILY convince people that its the TT sport wagon.

it would seem to me a little uneconomical to change anything for the 2003 model year. mazda already retooled the protege line for 2000 (or maybe 2001, can't remember) and setting everything up to bring the 5 over to north american couldn't have been cheap. to completely redesign it after only one year seems stupid. the protege line as a whole is due for retooling in 2004 ( according to motortrend mag) so it would seem logical that nothing will change until at least then. this coincides with mazdas plan to introduce the mazda 3 series to compliment the mazda 6. it would be my opinion that the prototype mazda hatch that is floating around (picture in this thread) would be the first gen mazda 3.
in any case i'm no expert and since i'll be paying for my p5 for ohhhh about 3 more years, i don't give one rats ass what comes out till 2005-2006.
cheers
