The Mazda 3 seems to be the winner. They spec'd about 100,000 units for first year production, then went to 200,000 and now have orders for 300,000. It is a joint Mazda/Ford/Volvo. They saved a lot (25% or so) with the joint development. Mazda took it off the price. Volvo has a Volvo motor but other mechanicals are the same and the car starts for $10,000 US more. The Ford is the European Focus which is a big hit over there. The market has decided this question for you.
