By signing this petition, you are telling Mazda Canada to have their engineers turn my humble Mazda5 into the first factory-backed Mazdaspeed5.
Dads deserve to be able to buy a Mazdaspeed5. This car will be a proof of concept. Not only can it work - dads will want one. And, when the inevitable groundswell of demand demands it be mass-produced, dads everywhere will buy one.
What Mazda will do: Take the motor, suspension, brakes, and wheels from a Mazdaspeed3 and put them on my Mazda5 (including all the fiddly stuff they'll have to do to make it work, of course).
What I will do in return: Pay $1.00 (that should cover the parts and labour) and allow Mazda to show my one-of-a-kind masterpiece at the Canadian International Auto Show. I agree to be on hand at the show to talk to show-goers about how AWESOME the Mazdaspeed5 is and give my personal endorsement.
Thank you for your time and support,
Ryan Durrell
The feedback from fellow drivers has been relentless and reminds me why I started this long shot in the first place. I am still putting together the proposal for the team at headquarters despite the quiet on their end. It is exhausting to keep pushing for something they might never acknowledge but I am not walking away from this.
