RXLogic

I really like my RX8, but it isn't going to work as my only car. I am keeping my PT Cruiser since a) it gets better gas mileage, b) it will hold four adults (with the RX8 it had better be a short trip), c) it snows (I know I can get snow tires, but there's still a wheel base problem in deep snow), and d) it can haul stuff.

I used to have Jeep, but I don't think I could stand driving an SUV anymore -- even it were a hybrid. Driving the RX8 has only given me greater appreciation for much more fun the Cruiser is to drive than the Jeep was. Therefore, let me hereby express my interest in Mazda bringing the Mazda5 to the United States with (this is key) a manual transmission. A Mazdaspeed edition would be even better. Don't laugh -- if Porsche can make an SUV then surely Mazda could put out a turbo (or rotary) mini-van.
