ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

OK I honestly didn't think the front end was "that" bad and I even thought I could live with it until I saw that pic!!! **** that front end is horrible!! There BETTER be some amazing paftermarket piece produced for that grille or I wil NOT be trading up!

that gray 3 looks whack
 
Here in Canada dealers have had the 2010 3's since the last week of Jan


Over here in Mx the new 3 is up on Mazda's webpage, and only the speed3 remains of the previous gen car, so I'm guessing they're gonna start selling them soon, if they aren't already selling them. I'm gonna go check my dealership if they have any new ones in the showroom. Maybe seeing one in person will make me like that Joker inspired front end.

hey guys,,

couple comments. crap I will be displeased if the 2010 MS3 doesn't have a different gauge/speedometer lighting than the current MS3. Isn't the reddish-orange a bit much? A nice blue would be so... nice.

They were going for a blackout look... there is a "How To" on this forum to change the colors on the speed-o.

thanks,,, I can't seem to locate it though. the closest topic I found was titled 'How-To: LED interior/reverse/licence plate light ",,, doesn't include the speedomoter/gauges.
 
The white and black look much better

Compared to the red sedan I saw the front nose on the white sedan looks much better. The contrast of black and white helps. A black 3 witht he new nose will probably look very nice. I like the picts you took of the front.

The second pict really shows how nice the front is at certain angles. Not unlike the current model there ARE certain angles that look nice, while other angles not so much.

In 4 to 5 years I'd probably look to trade. I got Silver this time around but I did prefer my Black 04. A Black 2012 Speed would be my choice next time around. I think it would look sharp.
 
Looks like it's got a damn chicklet in its mouth! Just a matter of time before people are painting teeth on. I think Mazda took the idea of a 'grille' a bit too seriously on this one. Everything else looks good though...
 
2010 Mazda3 vs 2010 MS3

I have been thinking about the 2010 mazda3 vs the potential 2010 mazdaspeed3, and actually might have a tougher time deciding which to pursue than I originally thought. initally was thinking the MS3 hands-down, as it will be faster (potentially meaning more fun daily driver), good looking hood scoop / dual exhaust / etc, and will likely have a price tag only a few thousand above the regular mazda3.

but here are some advantages to the mazda3:

still a great value overall

lower insurance rates, lower excise tax

could probably throw in a navigation/bluetooth/etc while adding those to an ms3 would put the car up in the $27k range (estimate)

regular fuel (no premium necessary)

4 door option

sometimes with fast cars like the MS3 you don't always want to drive it fast, because you know, obeying traffic laws and avoiding tickets and the like.

I guess the bottom line is sure I think the MS3 rocks, but personally I might need to save that few extra grand and get something more practical.

thoughts? (nana)
