ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

[phantomranger]

damn that thing looks just like a Matrix. just a little sleeker. I don't particularly like the head or tailights, or the grill. overall it looks pretty good. doesn't make me wanna trade my SPEED in though. even if the new speed has 300 hp, by the time it comes out, i will have surpassed that mark. so i'm not sweatin it at all.

Uuuh... is that a side mount intercooler I see?

I was trying to figure out what that was...

No, thats just the radiator...

 

[FrequentFlyer]

Yeah, I guess now that I look at it, it is a radiator.

I just noticed the shifter has 6 gears. could this be the new Speed interior?

 

[orlandomsp]

(poke) That's an intercooler. It's a turbo diesel 3.

If I remember right, the new 3s will have 6 speeds.

Yeah pretty sure the radiator doesn't have 2.5 inch or bigger pipes...plus that would be a pain to fill if you have to remove the wheelwell everytime huh?

Oh wait you couldn't fill it anyway...theres no fill cap...

Its an Intercooler...look at the pistons in the cutaway. Those are Diesel pistons if ever i saw them...TurboDiesel FTW...more torque than our current cars i guess>??

that is the Diesel. Look on the top of the cutaway it says MZR-CD 2.2. That's the 2.2L Turbo Diesel that has been released in europe.

Hence the 4500 RPM redline. Low redlines FTMFL!

With all the torque of a diesel, who needs a high redline?

I do! I likes to rev. While diesel torque is awesome, I want a small revvy car. I don't mind diesel torque in trucks or even big sedans. But in a small compact car, give me a punchy little 4cyl turbo!

The Jetta TDi is pretty amazing I almost bought one, it was really quiet too!

Have you had a chance to drive the RX-8. Now there's a revvy car.

 

[DaleNixon]

Redline that makes the Civic Si blush!

looks like it to me. they burned the exterior of the car imo. the interior is ok minus the civic like display across the dash. two thumbs down compared to the current 3. not sure the differences with the speed model to the reg. but me hopes they ramped up the masculinity of it.

I've never driven an RX-8 but I've ridden in one. While it is a revving beauty, it's missing the punchy bit. Not enough torque for my tastes.
