I was looking at 2010 & 2011, the only difference I could see was some styling, I doubt the 2012 will be a epic change since teh 2010 was redesigned 3rd gen.
Mazda will want to make some money before 4th gen but that just my opioin
it's a second gen...not a 3rd...and yea, new bumpers, and wheels...and SKYVIEW or something. Encorporated into motor and auto tranny. Supposedly getting better torque down low thus making fuel economy better
If they bring out a turbo diesel for the 2012 MS3, they will be killing any reason for aftermarket companies to keep pushing on the 2010-2011 models to be better. I hope they keep us on some 93 octane!

I seriously doubt that will happen. Diesel is still a bad word in this country... But I'm hoping like hell the SKY-D changes that. The first Mazda diesels shouldn't show up until 2013 models, I remember reading. Mazda hasn't announced anything on a 2012 Speed yet, but I hope it keeps going.
I'd take that new designed front bumper over mine for sure. The fog light area looks MUCH better. They also painted the black portion of the rear bumper to body colour...
Not heard much or read any review or information on 2012 ms3 so can't say anything on it...But as said by Peavey people are looking with 2010 and 2011 Mazda only..If you got any more information on 2012 ms3 just post here..
More than likely.. say goodbye after 2011 for the MS3. With the new Sky engine I don't think you will see a release of the MS3. They are releasing the new Miata though.
The new SkyActiv is NOT the same as the nor do I see it replacing the MS3. And I highly doubt they would stop producing the MS3 because it is one of their fastest cars that is very popular as well. Based on the picture, i believe the new model will be the "i" trim since it doesn't have side skirts or fogs and what looks like 16" wheels.
