Talk:Mazda Familia

message: There was also a Familia Neo sold some time around the 1994-9 model - it was a 3-door liftback with a glass panel on the back, much in the fashion of the Honda CR-X and Insight. I've also seen this sold in the UK and Ireland badged just as a "323". Anyone have better information on these? --Zilog Jones 23:11, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Familia Neo 

message: Looking at present, nothing is matching up. Based on the C-engine article, it would suggest several C family engines were used in the Familia in the early models, but none of the capacities or horsepower ratings for the corresponding C-engines match the cars they are claimed to be from. Can someone provide some evidence of the actual outputs of the cars in question, and link them to their appropriate engine pages? --Carcenomy 11:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Engines 

message: Where manufacturers such as Mazda (and Nissan and Toyota and Volkswagen and General Motors) use different names for identical or near identical models in different markets, I do not think Wikipedia has an established / consistently followed policy on what to call them.   Any of the potential 'rules' that I can think of would threaten to open a can of worms.   (Always use the US name because many wikepedians are aware of no other?  Always use the name used in the market / country where the entity has its own corporate head office?   Always use the name applied by the wikipedian who first wrote the article?....)
Which is a rambling preamble to reporting that I've just dug out a couple of pictures I took 35ish years ago of a car that I (in the UK but also I think in the rest of Western Europe) grew up thinking of as the Mazda 1000.   But I have the sense that most contributions to this article come from US contributors.  I think this picture must be of the car described in the article as the second generation Mazda Familia.   If someone who knows agrees with me, and if no one has a better image available to accompany that section of the article and thinks one or other or both of these will serve the necessary purpose, please let me know (or install the picture yourself).   If I'm wrong about assuming what the cars in these pictures, are according to the names known to other wikipedians - ie those outside of west Europe - I'd be interested to know anyway.   And thank you. Charles01 06:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is / was a Mazda Familia? 

message: In Colombia and other Andean Countries the sixth generation Familia (known as 323), equipped with the B3 engine, was manufactured and sold as Mazda 323 until 2003.
In Colombia, further generations were sold as Mazda Allegro with the exception of the 1997-1998 sedan eighth generation model, which was known as Ford Laser and was manufactured until 2007. Currently, the ninth generation model is still in production (as Mazda Allegro with 1.3L and 1.6L engines); but it is expected to end in 2008, in order to be replaced by the Mazda2.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.244.174.118 (talk) 16:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correction about Mazda Familia in Colombia and Andean Countries 

message: I tried to sort out these lines in the infoboxes to match the article text, because many readers will better recognize these cars as a Mazda 323 or Protegé. However this model has been rebadged so many times, it is quite confusing. Perhaps a Mazda expert would like to take a shot at it. 71.134.228.37 (talk) 04:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This image is not of a US model, it is an imported Japanese domestic model like the one I own. It has a different lane change light placement and grille to the one sold in the US. 131.203.127.133 (talk) 01:06, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

message: * A redesigned ninth-generation BJ Familia was introduced on June 9, 1998 as a 1999 model.
But they've been actually produced since May 1998. You can check spare catalogues: some parts are different for pre-07/98 cars but this is the same BJ generation. 91.122.190.157 (talk) 13:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Regushee placed merger hatnotes on top of a few pages such as Mazda Étude and Mazda Grand Familia. There is a link to a discussion (which takes me here) but no discussion.
* Oppose I would like to express my objection to such a merger - the Étude has a different name and different sheet metal (all of it, as far as I can tell), while the Grand Familia was a considerably bigger car on a different chassis, sold with different names in all markets. No reason at all to merge these.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 04:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merger

message: The lead states, in a very convoluted and confusing sentence, that the name "Familia" was used in Southern Africa. This is not true, the South African made versions were always branded "323" and later "Etude". Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:52, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion in the lead 

message: The Mazda Étude is an orphan article which is essentially a Familia hatchback with different rear window treatment, attempting to present a luxurious appearance on a more plain two-door hatchback, and it can join the "Sao Penza" South African  version. (Regushee (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Mazda Étude merger proposal

message: This article already has an introductory paragraph for a very small, orphaned article that needs additional references. (Regushee (talk) 00:07, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
