ha Mazda Corolla

it's the new Protege5, but it's like a hatchback/station wagon. i don't know what to call it. if u look at the interior, it's deriving traits from the Corolla's and IS300's. a little too plasticy for me. i don't feel that way bout the CL-S tho - the plastic in the CL-S is much more live-able.

How can Mazda make a car that looks so much like another car?

I would be so pissed if I owned an IS300.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that!!

And the really sad part, is that little econobox station wagon is about a thousand times better looking than the IS300, IMHO!

Just about all 4 door compact cars look the same. Except for a little flare here or some plastic trim. The Mazda looks OK to me, and it's going to get rave reviews I'll bet.

I love the comment on how the Acura plastic is more liveable. Cool.

What's the deal with that commercial anyhow? It starts out with the view over a bicycle handlebars. Then it says you can get the same feeling from driving a Protege. Why the hell would I buy a car if I wanted to feel like I was riding a bike? What are they saying here?
