Mazda5 Space Wagon to be launched at 2004 Paris Motor Show

 

 

Mazda Motor Corp. has issued the following press release:

 

Mazda Motor Corporation will use this year's Paris Motor Show for the world premiere of its all-new space wagon "Mazda5" (European version). Mazda5 is the company's fifth new-generation global product, following Mazda6, Mazda2, RX-8 and Mazda3.

 

Fulfilling the promise of the Mazda MX-Flexa concept revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the new Mazda5 will put packaging innovation and driving enjoyment into the space wagon segment around the world.

 

Designed from the inside out, Mazda5 will provide space wagon comfort and a unique "6 + One" packaging concept that provides flexible space in the vehicle's center. As such, individual markets will be able to configure the vehicle for up to seven passengers or provide seating for six with additional storage capacity.

 

In line with Mazda's Zoom-Zoom promise, Mazda5 will deliver a fresh exterior design with two, wide-opening sliding doors and driving dynamics that customers have come to appreciate from all Mazda new-generation vehicles. Four powertrains will be offered to satisfy diverse global needs-two gasoline engines and, developed specifically for European markets, two versions of a common-rail turbo diesel engines.

Nice....hope it will not be over-priced.

[GDIzen]

Yup...

[Seansene]

Now this will be something to look forward to, using the new Ford C-Max/Focus/M3/S40 platform, but with seven seats as opposed to the stupid C-Max's five. Pleeeese get it right...

[Linus]

looking at the shape, a direct competitor with the grandis...

[Acemundo]

also look a bit like the wish.

[Linus]

heehee.. then can expect dumping of price for premacy liao.

[Acemundo]

no diff to me leh, not aiming for the premacy

[Seansene]

Premacy price already dumped like crazy liao...

[Linus]

same as protege price loh.... learn from history.

[Seansene]

Or rather, history repeats itself

[Acemundo]

i tink its the natural cycle lah.

 

so if u looking for good price, shld always buy near the ending life cycle of product.

 

if u want to buy during beginning or middle life cycle of product, prepared to feel heartache when the car sold so cheaping during the end stages of product life cycle.

[DarkLord]

That means MZ3 still got a while to go..

[Seansene]

Long time, my friend. Four to six years, depending on the new product cycle.

[Acemundo]

hehe.....of course lah, just intro u want it to drop how much?

[DarkLord]

 

Maybe should just get a PARF or COE car and wait for 4-6 years...

[DarkLord]

Nearer to 70K will be good!
