As anyone else heard this?
"By early 2005, performance junkies can expect a turbocharged Mazdaspeed 3
sports compact that should pump out at least 200 horsepower (or up to 240, if
Mazda decides to offer an all-wheel-drive version)."

I heard the same of the Ford Focus and since they'll be essentially the sam=
e car it would make sense.

They already make the AWD turbo Focus in Europe. I guess I didn't realize
that the Focus and "3" were the same platform.

I liked it better 30 years ago when there was Olds, Chebby, and Ponyac and
they all had distinctly different bodies and motors. Oh never mind!

The American Focus doesn't share the Mazda 3 platform at this time. The
redesigned Focus in Europe does, but we haven't gotten that so far.
