Am I the only one who thinks that maybe they should invest a little effort trying to figure out why that is? I don't think it's the current styling. As mazdaman sugests the 3 is probably already the best looking compact out there, so just maybe they should be looking for answers to the questions they don't already know the answer to. Or in layman's terms: if it ain't broke don't fix it. I find the comment ‘Mazda is good at getting new customers to our brand but not so good at retaining them’ a little disturbing.

I used Firefox before and had other problems with page formatting and display. Suppose I'll just deal with the popups. Thanks Rotman.

The Mazda3 is the best looking front drive compact car on the market today. It will be a hard design for Mazda to top. I have to admit that Mazda has some of the oddest concept cars. It is a little scary to hear them suggest that the Nagare concepts will influence future production models when the concepts look so awkward. They have been good at using concepts to keep the designers fresh and on top of creating great production designs in the past. Let's hope that trend continues. This will be interesting.

WTF is that supposed to mean? Compared with most every manufacturer, Mazda still sees the value in good design, regardless of price. Set the bar low? WTF is that supposed to mean?

Anyone know if there is a way to shut down those java pop-ups?
