Re: How many people r going to buy the new model ND
A lot of people on here are the tinkerer types who either don't have the money or wouldn't want to fiddle with a car whilst under warranty.
Of course this is broadly speaking, if I had the money I'd seriously consider it. It looks like a great car; better looking than the 86 and the 2.0l should be quicker too.
It's probably a good thing if no one on here buy one, after all mazda is trying to bring in a new audience.

Re: How many people r going to buy the new model ND
I'll be waiting until I've had a chance to drive it. It looks fantastic but it's the tingle that I'm after.
And (putting on flameproof suit) I also want to side by side it with the EcoBoost Mustang...
I have dríven modern mustangs a couple of times in the states (I'm no Ford tragic but I did complete my trade with them)and I'm excited about it finally having IRS.
Also 4 seats will get it over the line with the family.

Beavis, the alfa on this platform has been scrapped. It's going to be a Fiat now.
Alfa are developing their own complete car last I read.

Re: How many people r going to buy the new model ND
I wouldn't be allowed. I can sneak little upgrades on the SE past the gate keeper un-noticed, but a new car might be detected! I think it looks good, but honestly I'm enjoying the path on my SE, won't be much you can do on the ND for a good while I'd think.
I think most of the buyers will not be traditional enthusiasts, though hopefully the car will change them!

I'm interested but don't think I can justify the price off the lot especially in the early days when discounts will be hard to get.

If I didn't just buy an nc I would consider it, I have grown to like it in pictures. On the down side;
1st edition so they haven't doe much real world fault finding
Aus is said to only get the 1.5l soft top initially.

It's a no from me. I like what I've seen but just have too many other things to finish, including the house. Maybe in a few years time

Re: How many people r going to buy the new model ND
That blue is the colour that I hope they release more than any. It might just get me over the line.
I'll be looking in 2016 though hopefully the 2.0 is out by then.
