Just keep in mind, the grill is the same style as the Mazda Atenza in Japan, aka Mazda6 in North America. So the US version will most likely get a different grill similar to the Mazda6. The Mazda3 will replace the Protege. Also consider the Protoge was a numeric name 5 years ago (323). Already stated, it will share platform with the next generation Ford Focus. The motor is a 2.0L. No words on power yet.
