ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

Nice I can't wait to see next years response (From Mazda) to this years Cobalt SS (in terms of performance of course)... That thing should fly on the ring!!!
 
dam a 2.5 4cyl? that s*** is going to a beast

normally 2.5 is the highest displacement a 4 cylinder engine can go because the vibes are to much after that, then they go to a v6 after 2.5


so there prob goin to have some badass engine mounts lol
 
looks like it has turn signals on the side mirrors, a nice addition

i like the curve they added to the side skirt to look more sporty

I hate the fact the taillights look like they stick out (resembling the newest lancer look) instead of being flush with the body panels.

i personally love the hood scoop and have always thought it should have been included on the speed3 all along.

As for the dual exhaust, its definately not needed but i think it looks great on that picture since it looks more uniform and even in the back. I have never really liked single exit for the way it looks in the back
 
Agreed man.

It just needs little tweaks to distinguish it from the current model.

Mazda is on to a gold mine here.
 
Not a bad rendering. Looks pretty close to the spy shots. Bottom grille is absolutely nasty.

Looks good, maybe I'll trade in my 07 for the new one. I like the hood scoop and dual exhaust. Looks alot more aggressive as well
 
2.5L 4 cyl + 300 hp/tq + FWD + no LSD = WTF?

Obviously we'll have to wait until the final specs are released BY MAZDA to know for sure. If no LSD, I have zero problem keeping my 08 MS3.
Sounds like the SRT4 Caliber which is either bog or boil the wheels.
 
I like it but don't....I like the current set up where there's a flat location on the dash. I use that for my 'sticky mat' that hold my cell phone/gps, etc....on this new version, the top of the dash is all curved and won't hold anything.

I like the center console, but being angled like that it reminds me of a minivan. Not sure the ergonomics of that angle are great. Would have to see it without the brushed aluminum. I like my piano black trim.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here is a shot of the new interior for the 3. Thoughts? Personally I'm not really digging the way the new display wraps around the speedo/tach. A lot of wasted space.

As it was going up that hill at ~0:35 I was excited thinking when it crested the hill we might be able to see underneath and confirm or deny power going to those rear wheels, but the stupid video cuts away just before it crests the hill. GRRRR!!!!!
