IIRC, the Mazda3 was based on the same platform as the European version of the Ford Focus

jqubed@lemmy.world 7 months agoI remember in the ’90s/’00s there were a few Mazda and Ford vehicles that were basically the same, most obviously to me the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-series pickup truck.

Yes, and the Mazda6 and Mustang shared a platform.

They were both assembled in Flat Rock at the same time, but the Mazda based platform was CD3. That’s the Fusion and Edge.

Ah yes. Thank you for that correction! I knew it shared one and I conflated the assembly line with the platform.

at that time, Ford owned 1/3 of Mazda. They divested in 2015.
