2008.5 MAZDASPEED3 - Now in CRYSTAL WHITE and METROPOLITAN GRAY

The glossy black trim pieces will be fingerprint magnets.

I agree that the Mazdaspeed emblem looks good by the airbag, though I could probably do that with a decal on my MS3.

saw on cars.com that a local dealer got a white MS3 in stock since last time I checked cars.com (friday)

mazda's inventory site doesn't have it there. i'm gonna swing by the dealer tomorrow (they are closed, IL law) and see if I can see it in person and hopefully convice the wife to finally let me pull the trigger on it this week. not gonna get my hopes up though.

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but I dont feel like reading through 26 pages. I just went to my local Mazda dealer in CT and they had a Metro Gray MS3 Sport. One thing that caught my eye, was the needles do the sweep motion like in the STi when you first turn on the car. I know its a relatively minor thing, but I love that.

which dealership?

im 99% sure those pics surfaced late in 06 and its just weird lighting on a black mica

 

[GhostMercury]

as far a finger prints...just dont touch it. But for dam sure that alcantra interior makes everything worth it

Methinks that decals like these in a different color could basically duplicate that nice effect on the dash.

hey guys I just wanted to introduce myself, I am a long time lurker, and first time poster. I am planning on picking up a 2008.5 ms3 sometime in early spring when they become more available. I currently drive a '99 Saab 9-3 Viggen. I was looking at local dealers to see inventories and I came across this. The color is listed as galaxy gray, which obviously is not a color for ms3. I can't tell if it is the new metropolitan gray or just strange lighting on cosmic blue....

here is the link to the dealership...

Definitely not cosmic blue.

Would anyone care to venture a guess on the size of those Mazdaspeed logos on the dash are? Got a connection at a sticker shop and he can make them for me...just want to get the size right.

When do these new colors become available? They don't have them on the Mazda site at all. I also see none at any of the dealers around here.

 

[BURNt SKiN]

im curious if they are going to discontinue the silver and cosmic blue....

Did you look at the very first post? It's the first paragraph.

 

[shinjoPop9]

When will these really start to hit the ground? The first post says Jan 2008, but I found two White ones within 250 miles of Atlanta, and no Met Grey ones. I also find it odd that the mazda site doesn't even list those two new colors.

 

[dparm1984]

My guess is that you'll see them in dealers in the coming weeks. By May they'll be pretty saturated, assuming they weren't bought up!

I saw 2 this weekend at 2 different dealers and both were Sports

One was White and the other BM.

Mine will be the first on the dealer gets in Toledo.
