Just a quick question. Is the 2.0L engine a revised FS engine or is it the same family as the new generation 2.3L?

Thanks.

I could tell he had the caps on because the FS was "fs". Perf, go to www.ellsworthpublishing.com and look at what my family sells for typists...

The FS block dates back to the first generation FWD 626, which came out in 1983. This motor has been around in turbo and non-turbo 2.0L and 2.2L versions.

The totally new 2.3L, which is also being used in a lesser displacement version 2.0L, is about 18 months old now, having first shown up in the North American market Mazda B-2300 pickup (and similar Ford Ranger), and is used in the 2003 model year California market Ford Focus, as well as the 2004 Mazda6. It is totally of Mazda design.

No, it's the fact that he slept with everyone's mother/daughter/auntie that did him in.

And if you keep this up, your female kin are next.

The Mazda3 2.3l will have 160hp and 150lb-ft in N. American-spec, it's official (well not EPA tested yet, but those are Mazda's final figures).

The 2.3l will be available in N. America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. In each of these markets, the 2.3l will have slightly lower hp and/or torque figures than the Mazda6. The 2.3l in Japanese-spec will have 168hp (but requires premium whereas the N. American-spec 2.3l will take regular).

The choice of blue for the MZ3sport in Canada is said to be "indigo". Compared to "winning blue", is it a darker blue?

Yes, as I said, the Mazda3 2.3l will have less hp and/or torque than the equivalent market's Mazda6. But honestly, this makes sense, Mazda shouldn't be making the 3 better than the 6.
