Bingo................
You are correct, sir.................it is indeed the Mazda Family (yes, that's the name for the car). It actually is the 323/Protege that Mazda has been selling in China for a few years now, with some updates (mostly cosmetic) and a new name - and ALSO with a lower price (starting prices are around 80-85,000rmb). I've ridden in one.........very quiet, good power from the 1.6 engine and VERY comfortable. Toyota should be careful.........with a good ad campaign this car can DEFINTELY compete with the Corrolla (although the Corrolla is a bit more upscale with it's interior amenities) when it comes to a quiet, comfortable ride and responsive power from the 1.6 engine - and a fully loaded model is about 40,000rmb LESS than a comparably equipped Corrolla.
