All this is copied from www.mazda.ca It must have just gone up becuase it wasn't there on Monday. Looks good - I am excited about the summer delivery!!! They have also set up a forum on mazda.ca to discuss the upcoming Mazda vehicles with a Mazda admin. Check that out at http://www.mazda.ca/forum/eng/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=204.
Overview
2007 MAZDASPEED3
Set to arrive at Canadian dealerships this summer, the all-new MAZDASPEED3 gives sports-minded individuals the chance for a double dose of Zoom-Zoom driving fun. With its compact, lightweight body and maximum horsepower targeted to exceed 250 HP generated by an MZR 2.3L DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) Turbo engine, the MAZDASPEED3 will be one of the highest performance sports compacts with front-wheel drive (FWD) on the road.
MAZDASPEED3 dramatically reinforces the acclaimed dynamics of the original Mazda3 and delivers maximum driving pleasure through outstanding performance and a superior chassis. To create this new benchmark, Mazda looked to embody the following three requirements:
Driving Fun: Formidable performance from the MZR 2.3L DISI Turbo engine, along with sharply responsive handling achieved by capitalizing on the characteristics of the compact, lightweight body.
Ownership Delight: Exterior styling that gives an immediate impression of driving fun, and an interior with a quality feel that exceeds expectations.
Everyday, User Friendly Convenience: An exceptional balance of driving pleasure with everyday functionality and comfort.
As a result, the flagship of the Mazda3 range features a stylishly sophisticated look combined with performance levels that make it one of the fastest sports compacts with a FWD layout. MAZDASPEED3 offers truly exhilarating acceleration from a standing start, superior passing acceleration in the practical speed range and one of the highest top speeds in its class.
Exterior
FOR CANADA: THE MS3 WILL BE INTIALLY LAUNCHED IN TRUE RED ONLY!!!!!! Didn't say anything else new here (bulgy fenders, hood, etc.).
Interior
Interior design
A high quality black sets the tone of the interior, accented by red stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and the six-speed manual transmission shift knob to create a sporty yet refined ambience the hallmark of a MAZDASPEED model.
The instrument panel includes a matte black decorative insert panel finished with a hairline treatment to underscore the vehicles aggressively modern personality. A leather wrapped shift knob, aluminium pedals and stainless steel scuff plates further contribute to the sporty, high quality ambience that distinguishes MAZDASPEED models, while semi bucket front seats provide firm support to match the uniquely sporty performance of the MAZDASPEED3. The front seats bear the MAZDASPEED logo on the seatbacks, a casual reminder that this is the highest performance model in the Mazda3 line up.
Performance
MAZDASPEED3 A double dose of Zoom-Zoom
MAZDASPEED3 is outfitted with Mazdas 2.3-litre DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) Turbo engine in a front engine, front-wheel drive (FWD) layout that is targeted to exceed 250 HP. This not only makes MAZDASPEED3 one of the most powerful and responsive compact sports models with FWD, it combines this with a stiffer body shell and a suspension with a significant improvement in roll stiffness versus the current Mazda3 for superior Zoom-Zoom handling attributes.
Mazdas direct injection technology not only makes the new MAZDASPEED3 powerful, it also has fuel consumption levels that are particularly good for a car with this kind of performance.
