[Brad]

love the fact that that you cant tell if it is hatch or sedan from the pic

[nautical2086]

u mean if its the wagon or sedan

[anarchistchiken]

It's a wagon dude, there's another picture of it from behind. Plus it's a wagon grill, the sedans is different.

[orng1]

Keep going we need more info. Anyone know of an expected relase date. Id love to see it in person. Or better yet test drive it.

[CHICO2003]

[nautical2086]

ehh, ill just make my own mazdaspeed 3, 2.3 sedan HIboost. now we are talking.

[Matrix]

Hmmm, looks like no AWD.



I think I'll just hang on to my MSP.

Guys this is not a repost...nor is it missing pics...Look below the pic...There are all the proper links for more info! This is a site wide announcement! :)

[jbiird317]

i should print these pics and take them to my mazda dealer...

i went and test drove the 3 and asked if he knew when the mazdaspeed3 would be coming out and he told me that he knew 100% that it would never be made...what an ass

[ZoomVT]

actually the grill on the first picture is a sedan grill. this has been discussed in the other thread. the grill is part of the bumber in the sedan, and part of the hood in the hatch.
so us sedan lovers still have hope.

[nate0123]

love the fact that that you cant tell if it is hatch or sedan from the picclearly a hatch - the sedan's hood doesn't have the huge raised portion in the middle

[meGrimlock]

the raised portion is hint of the same ducting done for the mzspeed6 to avoid the use of a hood scoop, but per pics on the other thread and other forums, its a girl!...i mean hatchback. fans of 4-door sedans are speculating a possible sedan version in the works but at the moment it is just wishful thinking.

Enjoy.

see?

hatch - raised

yes.. there is a slight additional articulation within the overall hatch hood, but that's basically the hatch hood

my point was just that it was obviously a hatch, just from the front view

[quatelate]

wow that thing is gonna be pretty fast... too bad they couldnt do nething to make it un ugly

I would. The shop manager actually told me abt a month ago that they were for sure making it. Glad to see he was right. Sad to see it's FWD...

[txmzdspd2gen]

IM liking the looks of it..hmm

i got that, but the grill position of the 1st pic is similar to the sedan's in case there was any confusion

Hey,
If the MS3 has the same engine as the speed six then that will put it at about 274 hp right?

Well right now I am driving a regular mazda 3 sedan... I added the short ram cold air intake and a new magna flow muffler and some other small mods, I have the hp close to 205 and was wondering what else I could do to make the hp's increase with out a turbo/supercharger. I wanna keep the mods a little more on the simple side like I have already done... any ideas???

Same engine but detuned to make less power due to price and in an effort NOT to compete with the MS6.

Check out our 3 forum for your quest for more POWER! :D

FOUND GOOD INFO! http://www.4uka.com/news/00/100081.html
looks like no AWD... rims are kinda weird.. But other than that looks nice.

[dugrant153]

I wonder how it will be priced.
