Also Mazda would include free loaner/rental car coverage with warranty work that even was a one day fix, and just involved keeping a free rental/loaner and returning it at the end of the day when your car was ready at the dealership.<br><br>Mazda's bang for the buck has always exceeded Ford's.<br><br>Even the Ford Probes and same platform MX-6's came off the same line in Michigan, but the beautiful Italianesque styling of the 2nd generation MX-6 was incredible compared to the Probe.<br><br>Of course Ford sold more Probes........Thats a given.  Buyer loyalty, minus common sense in many cases.  It's a Mazda and it isn't American, while the Probe was in reality a re-skinned MX-6 with Mazda engine/running gear as well.<br><br>Just look ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gary Blomquist]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 4th 2008 9:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Geneva 2008: Mazda2 loses a couple of doors, gets even cooler]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/</guid><description><![CDATA[did you ever drive the probe?<br><br>it was the vastly superior vehicle<br><br>i am very surprised to say that i would also take the ford over the mazda, not knowing any stats]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[naggs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2008 12:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Geneva 2008: Mazda2 loses a couple of doors, gets even cooler]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-mazda2-loses-a-couple-of-doors-gets-even-cooler/</guid><description><![CDATA[Chassis and Safety – lightweight for low costs, with safety features equivalent to the ﬁve-door hatchback <br><br>Lightweight for low costs?
