Hey Maz kid

[MazKid]

gees I missed your last post about the Road Pacer...that thing is huge. Doesn't look like a Mazda much at all...

 

[F2002]

I swear thats called the ford escort in uk...

 

[MazKid]

There's a Ford Escort here too, it doesn't look like a 323 though. There is a Mercury Tracer and it's a 323, my dad took some parts out of one and they went strait into the 323...

[MazKid]

Ahh, I see...

 

[The Porko]

[MazKid]

The 323 today is the Protege...

 

[The Porko]

here in australia it is still called the 323.

Regards The Porko

 

[MazKid]

yea, I know, just saying that the current 323 is known as the Protege in the US, and Familia in Europe and Japan...

 

[The Porko]

cool yeah i knew they called it the familia in Japan.

Regards The Porko

 

[MazKid]

Part of the problem I see with Mazda, is that they use too many different names in other parts of the world.
Like:
US-----------Other
Protege-----323, Familia
Millenia------Eunos 800
Mazda B series----Fighter
Miata---------MX-5(well US calls it most commonly Miata, but it is the MX-5 Miata)
New 6--------Atenza(I like Atenza a lot better than 6)
626-----------Capella
There's older ones I don't feel like listing...

 

[vat_man]

Didn't they have something like twenty sales channels/brand names in the early 90's?

 

[MazKid]

yea, they were wacko...my bro got some of the Mazda Sales tapes from the early 90's, they're cool, but so funny to watch:

"As a Mazda salesperson, you need to encourage the soon-to-be buyer to take a test drive in thier soon-to-be new car. First you drive and explain the cars capabilitys, then pull into a nice park or scenic place to really show off the car. Then let them feel the true quality of the Mazda model they should be buying. Make sure they are comfortable, and direct them to roads that really utilize the performance of thier new Mazda"

They make it sound like the person is absolutly gonna buy it lol, they're so sure of it... But there is a Mazda design theory tape, it's awsome! Shows the then new Miata and RX-7 Infini, and shows Mazda's headquarters and stuff...very cool...

 

[Talentless]

what the bleep is the b series supposed to fight?

fighter

 

[MazKid]

yea I thought that Fighter was a funny name lol...If it was a V8 then Fighter might match it, but with it being thge b-series, it's dumb...

 

[The Porko]

new 6 is called the mazda 6.(think i could be wrong 626 is the same name he in Aus i think check out www.mazda.com.au

Regards The Porko

 

[MazKid]

Yea, I fully new that...just saying new 6 cause it's new...They shoulda gone with Atenza...it sounds better than just 6..

 

[whitez]

you know what Mazda is tight???? The MP3, it looks and drives great

 

[MazKid]

yea, they are cool, but underpowered...

that car is ugly

 

[MazKid]

well my bro has an '87 626...it's not ugly cause he takes great care of it...and it's fun to drive...but his MX-6 GT is so much faster...

 

[psonefreak]
