i was at mazda of escondido looking @ the ms3 and asked about the 08's. they only had 2 ms3's left right now and said they were expecting their shipment of 08's within 30 days. he said a revised front bumper was all he was told.

im debating on buying an 07 now or waiting the 30 days. price should stay the same hopefully.

mazda toled me since they revised in 07 all models were basically stayign the same till about 2009/2010

but either way cool. do they have a list yeat or any paperwork?

I'd be surprised if anything other than color choices are different for 08. I also don't expect the current bodystyle 3 to be continued past 08.

well if the 08's are anything like the 07's, Aug 1st should turn into October 15th in no time... I put my money down in July for my car and didnt take delivery until 10/23. It realllllly was not fun waiting so long for it, so if you have the chance to scoop up an 07 now, i say do it!

I heard that the 08s come with the mazdaspeed cat back, intake, and lowered Mazdaspeed springs. The are being rated @ 293hp/310ftlbs. They also play MP3s, have an upgraded trans mount, carbon hood, thicker paint, no brake dust pads, 245/40 tires, and have a pulse emitter that automatically retards the ignition of super charged mustangs, GTOs, STis, SRT4s, and Evos. Rumor has it that Mazda will release a Chuck Norris edition. You don't even want to know about that one.

They did the same thing with the MSP. The initial run did pretty well, so they tweaked the car ever so slightly so they can sell some more and still call it "limited edition" but sell more of them.

06-28-2007, 10:43 AM
for here in the states there's no color differences, i was on our dealer site "trying" to order 08's and it takes you to color choices, and optional equipment etc. nothing was different. i can't see them changing hardly anything at all for 2008, even so they are more than halfway done with the first batch. there shouldn't be any speed 3's for 09 though, limited to 2 years for mazdaspeed...if they carry it longer it will be the first time. The speed miata was really something though, there was a factory fire limiting the 05's to just over 1,000....so those little guys are pretty rare.

looks the same to me as the 07. the low price i saw paid for a GT w/o nav was 22,019 in the forums, is that pretty accurate? should i be aiming for as the lowest they will let one go for?

Spyshots don't mean much since most manufacturers will go great lengths to fool the eyes of the public and more important, the competitors.

Another possibility is that the MS3 in the picture has a new front fascia designed to meet the new EU pedestrian safety standards, in which case Mazda could choose to sell the new look only in EU countries or use the EU bumper in all markets.

According to that it says Sirius satellite is standard on all Speed3's, wasn't it an option before? Also if you had Sirius didn't that eliminate the Ipod connection in the center console? Glad to see the price stayed the same. I'll be getting my Speed3 GT as soon as there on the lot.

If that's what it looks like I'm glad I bought an 07'. J/K...
Looks like an 07' with some black tape under the lights to me. I can't pick out anything that looks different. Well.... if you look really close it looks like maybe the 08' will come with a CB radio as an option. Beautiful antenna.
Also, it looks like the picture is in europe, but the badge under that tape is not an MPS badge, it's the US Mazdaspeed3 badge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw a different badge on the euro and canadian models than the one we get here in the US an A.

My car was also slated for build at the beginning of July. Damn. That means it probably won't be here until October. I'm told it takes 2 months for transport once built.

That also means I'll have about 2 months of decent, dry weather before the snow comes. Double-crapola.

I was told it takes 2-3 days to build then 30 days to arrive. There's 3-4 boats per month so it could end up being more or less by a day or a few. I'm supposed to get mine 2nd week of September.

Have you heard from your dealership yet?

Thats precisely the reason I bailed on my MS3 order last year. That and when they released the Canadian price, I felt it was too high. (Almost $32,000 sticker).

I'm in the same boat, wait for the 08 (Which I'd love to know if even the slightest changes were made??) or buy an 07 now at a discount. I been waiting so long for a review of the new WRX, that be stupid for me to buy 2 weeks before the 08 speed3 comes out or the 08 wrx is reviewed. Needless to say I test drove an MS3 the other day and it is a hell of a car. It really felt allot like the old Mitsu Eclipse Turbos(The Engine), though quieter, smoother and faster. Its kinda a crazy car, you guys that have them and friends that don't know cars must scare your friends daily. Looks like a family car(Though Sporty), goes like hell, handles great. I liked the car allot.

Does anyone know for sure that the 08 Speed3's will be arriving August 1st, the dealer i went to said mid-September, but she was trying to sell me a an 07.

I am also interested in the '08s. I am wanting either a white one or a blue one. I also went to the dealership and they haven't stopped
"following up" every other day. I guess they are trying to get rid of the '07s.
One option i would like them to offer is the awd of the MS6. That way the new 08 STI would have a direct competitor

sierra248, I'm in the exact same position you are.

I'm looking for a new car, and have narrowed it down to three cars:
'07/'08 Mazdaspeed3
'07 Subaru WRX wagon
'08 Subaru WRX hatch

With the Impreza redesign, '07 and '08 WRX are different cars. I really should wait for a full review before buying anything.

I don't expect major changes on the MS3 for '08, so I'd rather get a good deal on the '07 MS3.

I went to a Honda dealer a few months ago (while helping my sister shop for a car). At the time, the Fit was in high demand. The salesman pulled out a booklet of printouts showing exactly what they had on the way to their dealer and when it was scheduled to arrive. Model, transmission, options, color, etc. It went at least two months out.

I'd bet the Subaru dealers have something similar. They must know what cars they are getting in 90 days, but they may not want to tell you, yet.

Already contacted dealer and have appt. Think I'm going speed3 GT in cosmic blue, homelink mirror with compass. That's it. I will very very much be shooting for under invoice! They are "Blowing out the 07 mazda3's for 500 under invoice" and as the 08's are probably on the way I think invoice price or a little lower is more then fair as they robbed everyone else this year by saying limited availability but demand wasn't there(Americas hatred for hatches) and there are left over 07' all over!

if you order, do you take the loan out then (or before w/credit union) and sign the check at the dealer when you order? If so and you have a trade-in, would that be traded in when you order or when it shows up? I haven't even talked to them yet about what they expect to receive, but since they seem to get a good supply here I may not have to worry about it except for dealers either ordering them with nothing at all or maxing them out. All I want is the autodimming mirror w/out homelink so I may have to order one to get it that way.

They also play MP3s, have an upgraded trans mount, carbon hood, thicker paint, no brake dust pads, 245/40 tires, and have a pulse emitter that automatically retards the ignition of super charged mustangs, GTOs, STis, SRT4s, and Evos. Rumor has it that Mazda will release a Chuck Norris edition. You don't even want to know about that one.

There's a red MS3 GT that's been sitting on a dealer lot for about a month now here. It includes the MS CAI installed for $23,900. Looks like things are moving slow pre-'08 model release.

Surprising considering the 08's are pretty the exact same from what I hear.

That's a good price though

i wouldnt take too much credibility from those spy shots. They may be using the regular 3 wing and a fake bumper to conceal any of the changes that they have made

i was at mazda of escondido looking @ the ms3 and asked about the 08's. they only had 2 ms3's left right now and said they were expecting their shipment of 08's within 30 days. he said a revised front bumper was all he was told.

im debating on buying an 07 now or waiting the 30 days. price should stay the same hopefully.

I think they still have those 2. I test drove the silver one. The other is black mica right and they're both Sports? I live just around the corner from them but I work up in Temecula. I bought my car in National City though since it was the only place I could find a GT in Cosmic Blue.

I would like to buy one now but there are only like 3 left in AZ (from what I have been told) and only one is a sport. I am getting better offers for an 08 than for the 07. So far they are 700 off sticker on the 08 arriving end of August.

I'm glad they didn't change anything.. Like another feature or colors because now the 08's only have the age diff.

Hey Jays07MS3 what was your best trap in the 2g? You have a lot of the same mods I had on my 2g gsx.

OCMAZDA.COM doesnt mark up their MS3's. You may want to contact them.

Well, I've only taken it to the strip once and it was way back when it didn't have as many mods. All I had done on it was my intake and cat-back exhaust. That was back in 2001. My best run of 5 was 14.74s @ 95.84 mph. Not great but not bad for an almost stock GST.

So did you have the T28 on your GSX? What were you running at the track.

Is this for real? So how much am I going to pay for a 07 or 08 sport true red?

That's not in N America although I don't know what city the HG on the plate stands for. It REALLY looks like it's in Germany and their bumpers don't have the same requirements as here. If they are gonna have the same look it would seem that Mazda is dumping that little black bumper strip that the 3 has up front. This mule also has the non Speed3 spoiler.

08 Airbags have been replaced with Chuck Norris' leg. "Because you can never have too much whiplash."

Wouldn't the prices for the 07 drop once the 08s are released? I think that might be good

Not as much as you'd think, if they're the exact same thing.
