Why don't you apply for a Fleet number and see if we could purchase, at a discount?, through Troy Danny?

I had the same reaction as Evan when I read Danny's summary of fleet info.

Why not Priuschat as a fleet? Troy becomes our fleet guy and we have PHEV's drop-shipped all over the country.

Toyota would certainly sell a bunch of them!

I know its kind of confusing. The Mazda 3, 6, and MX-5 are all cars. The 5 is a small mini-van with 3 rows of two seats. Its EPA classified as a mid-sized wagon, but its got sliders so in most peoples eyes its a mini-minivan. Its handling is supposed to be pretty sporty and carlike, as its based on the same platform as the Mazda3, Volvo S40, and the European Ford Focus (one gen ahead of US Focus).

This thing is absolutely begging for an HSD IMHO. Its whole point is that its smaller, more efficient, more fun to drive than a full sized minivan. Since Ford is already licensing the HSD for the Escape, why not get it in the 5 too! I think they'd have a real hit on their hands if they could get this into the mid 30s. In its current form its right in there with the Escape and Camry non-hybrids as far as weight and MPGs, so it seems feasible.

The Mazda5 is a blast to drive. We rented the old model with the 4-spd manumatic GT model. It was nicely sprung, firm but not uncomfortable and fairly spacious for its size.
