2010 Mazdaspeed 3 Pics and info

Looks like they narrowed the wheel base too.

the rear is fine, the sides are fine, the wheels are fine, the scoop is ok(im assuming it's serving a purpose considering how long and wide it is), the front bumper is ridiculous(something done at hot wheels maybe, but i would bet some one out there will notice this and make an after market front bumper to go with rest of the car), and duals are ok. i would give the car a 8 on everything outside of the front bumper. my main reason is it's unique overall, and it's something extreme that almost looked perfect.

WOW! maybe i should have waited for one of those...the hood scoop looks like it would be way more functional then the vented grill set up. I also like the dual exhaust regardless of what people say about it. Ok im editing this..the smiley front bumper is not that great but if you buy the car in black you will never even notice it..most people are probably not looking to mod there cars thats why mazda did the dual IMO..its more of an updated look and yeah pretty much eye candy!

You called it...here I am ! Haha. All kidding aside, not only is it marginally ricey, it's counter-productive as far as making power is concerned. If one was actually looking to make power with a 4 cylinder that had "dual exhaust" AKA split exhaust, that person should stick to single exhaust, just larger diameter. But I must confess, dual exhaust on anything = Eye Candy, I'm guilty of liking the look as well. When I had one of my FC's, I also went from dual to single, and the result....reduced weight and more power (...and fireballs ! (drive2) ) The taillights are Doo Doo, that grinning front Valance is nasty, the back of it reminds me too much of a CX-7, the wheels are out of the Altima SE-R's playbook.. On the other hand, the scoop is nice, nice stance, nice side skirts, prob very fun to drive.. We'll have to wait and see.

the hood scoop and the dual exhaust rock. Regardless of those who want to b**** about saying that dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder is rice (i expect those people to start posting shortly)

The car is nice, but the taillights are gross, the headlights and fog light holes are gross as well. I'm fine with what I have.

Tho I've complained about the hood scoop not being on the current ms3 from day 1.

I dig the side and rear lines, not crazy about the front either though, mainly the fog lamp housings. Do they really need to be that huge, and is the venting above the fogs even functional?

I did notice the hatch gets it's own key-hole now. Maybe it will have it's own key fob button as well to lock/unlock separately from the doors.

That big mouth catfish look is exactly why I ran right out and bought my True red 09 right after I saw the pictures of that thing. Got a hook and line? Get the stink bate ready.

What's wrong with dual tips for modding? The SRT-4 guys have done really well by that method.
And some people do go to a single tip after market exhaust (again, citing the SRT-4 guys as my example). You either deal with the empty space in the rear fascia, or buy a different one.

That shi* looks freakin fugly. i hope they dont come out with a speed version of this crap. the 4 door sedan might be okay but that crap looks like it belongs in the ocean.

 

[NoVa 2.0]

Lame... I saw this at the DC Autoshow last weekend. I never understand what companies have something good going, and then the take a 90deg left turn with a new design?

 

[TRDMS3]

LOL no love for the new generation

 

[SHaW]

Just need to get a new grill/bumper for this and it will look sick. This is growing on me, the ms3 one that is.

 

[fastguy]

the new ms3 dont look liek that i saw a sneak peak of them and they look like the new hatch stis more then that ugly thing

 

[hawaii3]

07-09 SPEED 3's FTW!!!

 

[18psiWhiteMS3]

what a relief, now im really happy i purchased an 09. that 10 is ugly

 

[Antonio DiMarco]

That doesn't look bad at all. I like it.

could look worse.....

Not sure what all you are complaining about. That pict that he pulled from the teaser video makes the car look good. Muscular and sporty.

They're defintely channeling the Peugot look.

You guys got to think out of the box. I think it would look great in Black.
