When is the Mazdaspeed Protg being released to dealers? Is there any
plan in the future for the Protg to be released on S-plan. I assume
SVT is available on A-plan, if I am not mistaken?

X/S plan

I attached a copy of my email to the Ford customer center about X/S plan for the MSP.

OK, I'm lost. What is it that you're talking about here? S-Plan, A-Plan? I'm just clueless like that I guess.

Ford has different employee discount plans.....most common are Plans A. D. X. Y. I would be surprised if they offered this car on any discount plan..I worked for Ford for 2 years and usually only normal production cars were allowed for discount....it is rare and only if a dealer wants to that they allow an SVT go out on x or a plan. Basically these plans are to purchase the vehicle either a little over cost..or under cost. X and Y plans are 4% over dealer invoice....and A and D plans are usually 5 to 10% under invoice. It is nice......People who can get X and Y plans are people that work with ford....as in dealers....people who make products for uses in their vehicles..like Tyco Inc. A and D plans are for anyone that works directly for Ford Motor Company ..not a dealer....but directly for Ford Motor Company. Thats bout all there is to that.

Oooooh, ok I get it now. I too had discounts at dealerships when I worked at Federal Mogul in Michigan. We didn't have the same ones you're talking about though.
