Old news but very cool news. I have heard as far as for sure they are
brinig it to North America in 2003. This is from someone who heard it
from a Mazda Dealership. 
 Its pretty great that they can get 280hp out of a NA engine that is
only 1.xx litres in displacement. They are currently working on a few
problems with oil consumption and gas mileage with the engine.
