James,
           The Baby poo brown I take it, is the copper/orange metallic that
has been floating around on the net for a few weeks, the colour that Mazda
Oz told me definitely wouldn't be at the Melbourne Motor SHow! I'm starting
to lose faith in Santa Claus, I wonder now, how many more phone calls i will
get to say that my Silver has been delayed yet again, or the proposed dealer
option of 16" wheels has been canned, it's getting quite farcical!

>Hi Y'all, got to see the '99 on Friday night at the Melbourne Motor Show.
Overall I liked it, I won't be selling mine for one, but if I was in the
market for a new car I wouldn't hesitate.
>
>4 things I didn't like:
>
>1 Mazda(Australia) are promoting baby-poo brown as the feature color, bad
mistake i think.   The green is beautiful.  (I haven't seen any others.)
>
>2 There was a large gap (3/4 inch) between the bottom of the driver's door
and the sill.   It may have been a bit of an optical illusion, but it just
looked like poor QC.
>
>3 The bump in the boot (trunk) will have to grow on me.
>
>4 The inner door panels look and feel cheap.
>
>Overall I think Mazda have done a good job, they have retained the
important virtues of the original, while making enough improvements and
changes to make the change of model worthwhile.

>BTW I'll get another look this Friday, my opinions may vary slightly after
I see it without the half-dozen Mazda-supplied beers in my belly!
