The GF/GW platform proved to be the last
generation of the long running Mazda 626, when it was replaced
with the award winning Mazda6.
This generation of the Mazda 626, became more mainstream,
losing the flair, and extravagance of earlier models. In
a way, the Mazda 626 was repositioned with the base price
significantly cheaper than the GE series, from $32,870 in
August 1997 for a GE, to $27,270 in September 1997 for a
GF model.

From Wikipedia.
'The last Telstar, based on the GF platform, was released
in 1997, but was only sold in Japan, as Ford was now marketing
the Mondeo in the Asian-Pacific region. The Telstar was
dropped by Ford of Japan in 1999, as the company sought
to differentiate itself from Mazda by concentrating on European
and American Ford models.'
