ac is optional?? the gt package sounds right up my alley. What I dont get is why they'd make a heavier bigger car with less power. They should be bumping the power up on the 5 a little....somewhere in the 180bhp range.

A/C is optional primarily to give the models a better starting price, and yet everyone knows virtually everyone will be ordering it. Also note that automatic climate control is packaged with the A/C, so they'll probably charge something like $1,300cdn for the A/C + ACC package (for pretty good profit). Personally, I predict heavy incentives (and inventives appearing soon after launch) on the Mazda5, and even more in the US.

Thats just over $16,000 US for the GS? That is pretty good, I mean - this thing is relatively well equipped as it is.

The GT does sound better though... I did not know that "Side & Curtain Air Bags" was an option, thought it was standard... so thats the trim I'd be looking at for sure...

bummer, no DSC

Fortunately, I'm not in a rush to buy, so maybe MY 2007.

I thought that AC was optional on a lot of cars in Canada, but what do I know? Easy closing sliding doors? What are those? not the power doors on the Premacy, I take it.

The GS isn't as well equipped as the US Sport trim, I think that side airbags, 17" wheels will be standard, and starting price will be about $18k from prior press releases.

I think that the Mazda5 won't need incentives if gas prices are high this summer, given the trend towards increased sales of smaller SUV's and minivans from last summer carries over.

Canadian packaging (and therefore pricepoints) is different to US. There's another thread here with a small US brochure so US folks should look to that in regards to packaging (both A/C and SAB/curtains are standard on lowest trim in US)

They have a more aggressive gear ratio in the Mazda 5 which will help a little with acceleration.

Full Canadian pricing:

[font=Arial, Helvetica]GS
2.3L 5MT $19,995
2.3L 5MT A/C w/Auto Climate $21,095
2.3L 4AT $20,995
2.3L 4AT A/C w/Auto Climate $22,095

GT
2.3L 5MT $22,795
2.3L 5MT A/C w/ Auto Climate $23,895
2.3L 4AT $23,795
2.3L 4AT A/C w/ Auto Climate $24,895

Unfortunately, while the Mazda3 & 6 2.3l autos are moving to 5-speed for '06 the Mazda5 (who needs it the most) retains the 4-speed AT. This applies to all markets and is just ridiculous in my opinion, unless there's some technical reason why it can't be used (in which case, it should have been designed for the Mazda5 in the first place).

Even if I have to pay sticker to get it right away, I hope the dealer will allow me to negotiate in some free extras... maybe a MP3-capable stereo or a roof rack... step guards for the sliding doors...
