meh. What's the betting it'll be heavier and softer.

I wonder why they have gone back to 4 stud wheels?
Leads me to believe it wont be heavier.

I thought they wanted to get it sub tonne again and put in a smaller engine

What's that on the boot lid?

high stop light i think

i think they will be pushing it to get under the tonne again
too much safety stuff has to go into them now

At the last Club Committee meeting we had a briefing from Glen from Mazda NZ on the new car. He'd just come back from Japan.
Apparently it will be smaller than the NC, more the size of the NA, and quite a lot lighter. Lots of light weight components. They hadn't decided on the engine yet.

Well, hopefully they come to their senses and offer a model with an MZI 3.7 V6 (Ford Duratec) or something

And a turbo for fuel efficiency?

I'd settle for the 3.5L Ecoboost V6
