I just got a bottle in the mail also ... I bought my M3 in January ... makes me wonder if they only do it every so often. I had already bought some touch up paint in March, so now I guess I have enough to last for several years. I'm wondering if I take it tothe dealer unopened, whether they'll give me credit toward something else I actually need (like a Mazda ball cap ...).
Jaime08 ... 11.60 for touch up paint? considering the canadian dollar is within striking distance of being on par with the once mighty us dollar,stuff still seems to cost an awful lot in canada. If the currencies are soclose, how come the cost of things doesn't go down upthere inigloo land?

You're NUTs,SpeeDy!!I love it.
Remember, the dealer is your friend... as long as you have decent credit or cash in hand. And especially if you know nothing about cars in the first place!!

Because Canadians are getting hosed. A few years ago, when the USD was much higher than our CDN dollar, with the exchange rates, the cars seemed to be priced similarily. Now that the dollars ore on par, the price difference for the cars is still far apart in these two countries for some vehicles. The Mazda 3 price differential is minimal, however an Acura MDX is $40,000 in the USA and $52,000 in Canada. I think Canadians are getting hosed. I just heard that Porche reduced their Canadian prices.

There is no such thing in the USA as aMazda3-GS,however, looking at the specs, the Canadian GS seems comparable to what in the USA iscalled an i-Touring. Looking at a few websites, the i-Touring seems toretail in the US forabout$3K less than what the GS retails for in Canada ($20.5K Canadian versus $17.5K US). So yeah, Canadians are getting hosed. On the other hand, unlike Americans, not everybody in the world hates you and wants to blow you up ...

George W. Bush, and as much as I can't wait to see him out of office (I didn't vote for him either. I knew he was a moron from the start) I have to admit that he's only partof the problem.
