ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

[Sphincter]

It's too bad it looks like a Toyota Matrix from the side, and a Nissan Versa on roids from the front. I do like the hood scoop though.

My biggest objection is the character line running diagonally up the side of the car and creating a 'hippy' protrusion in front of the taillights. Its too exaggerated. I prefer the subtle lines of gen 1.

At least the wheels are fugly! We can sell our 1st gen MS3 wheels to these 2nd gen boys!

oooohhhhh cool Dual Exhaust, I wonder if we will be able install dual exhaust to our 1st gens once this comes out.

 

[sunny4201]

the exhaust would be cool if it was thicker (thats what she said)

Yeah Motortrend mentioned it will get a decent power bump...up to 300lbs or torque I believe the article mentioned.

With that kind of new power I bet insurance rates will also see a good bump so I believe I will pass on this one.

Dude you can't call "Thats what she said" on yourself. My friend does that all the time. Ha!

Edmunds Full Test: 2010 Mazda 3 s GT

What Works:
Excellent power, handling and poise for an economy car.

What Needs Work:
Exterior styling does not appeal to the masses; brake performance is unimpressive.

Bottom Line:
Mazda introduces its new 3 without compromising the spirit of its outgoing model.

not a huge fan of the looks, but I am jealous of the bi-xenon and info display

+1. At least it looks very happy. (hippy)

I still got $100 saying that there is no 2010 MS3.

Dual Exhaust. Awesome!!!!

 

[VermZ06]

One way around that grille is an easy fix. Just opt for black and it won't be as noticable. Other than that good job mazda for finally providing an affordable nav. that looks MUCH nicer than a portable unit.

I am glad I have my 08 from a looks stand point!

 

[GoFast]

is it just me or is that think looking more like a cavalier??

 

[madvillian]

god that is a terrible color..

 

[Circle9]

I don't think it looks THAT bad, but there's no need for the twin exhaust (dunno)

 

[Kindred]

is it just me or is that think looking more like a cavalier??

I totally see that as well, especially, the back end.
