| I like also how they mention focus 5cyl...its a volvo engine..not Ford.
Also...the article is flawed...as mazda use their own engines...DISI. (not ford duratec).
As for the 5cyl...personally I cannot see it happening as you will be paying rego and insurance for a 6 cyl vehicle in Australia.
The Auto Express is a UK mag/website and will vary from what Japan, US and Australia get in regards to Mazdas.
I personally think the MPS3 will have either the 2.3L DISI...or upgraded 2.5L DISI 4 cyl turbo myself...and I will agree that mazda will beef up the appearance to make the car more aggressive...but I dont think thats a step forward...the sleeper look (or some say BLAND) is something I adore....not some boy racer hot hatch.
Its early days yet...until I see it hit a motorshow stand with more detail....then I will be convinced...many things can change in 2 years.
Happy Motoring
