lol that's why you're on an alero forum and not a mazda forum
i personally don't hate either car, the alero's are a great car and for what you pay for em they can't be beat... the mazdas got it's own strengths and weaknesses and that's why there's more than one model of car... it's all about what you like
in response to alon, it's the exact opposite here in north america, and mostly in canada. Here you drive down 6 blocks and you've seen atleast 6-7 aleros but maybe 1 mazda 3. It's an interesting shift... i think part of the reason we have so many aleros in SK is because as my car dealer neighbour said "they're a cash cow" you buy em for $5000-$6000 and sell em for $8000-$9000 b/c people fall in love with all the luxury features... where as you buy a cavalier for the same price and sell it for $6000-$7000 because they don't have the luxury to em
