lol!

It's nice to know that there actually is a new MS3 coming. Is it confirmed to sell in the US?

 

[acidbug]

That front end is fugly.

I wonder why they decided to re-use the 2.3L when they have the new 2.5L.

I bet they use the same k04 turbo.

something tells me that I am going to like it in person.

 

[Donas64]

It looks bearable in the speed version. They used some plastic trickery to try and break up the gaping maw. I'd buy one even if the looks still irk me a little. I would not buy the non-speed version though.

Here's a short video promo -- I'm glad I have the current version.

I would get used to the exterior, but the interior felt overwhelming. I wonder how much of the mods will transfer? (MM, SS, Intake?) Since they're really only exterior changes while the underbody is supposed to be similiar to identical to ours.

 

[Sport6]

Yah I like the rear. The wheels just look like bigger snowflakes... I think it lost its aggressive front end.... Maybe by a long shot that hood is the exact same as ours and we can fit it on ours instead. Though I have never replaced bumpers on cars before because usually the aftermarket is worse but if I were to live with it I would consider changing the front bumper.

Or maybe I'll convince my wife to get it instead, she seems to like the styling because she likes the happy faced cars.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Sport, I personally don't think the hood will fit. The headlights are shaped a little different, and I think that contributes to the overall shape of the hood being different. I could be wrong though. If you can get past the slap-happy smile in the front, it actually looks pretty aggressive with the lines of the headlights and front shoulders (in that head on shot, #2 of the 3 pictures).

 

[Hank3]

Is that a keyhole on the rear hatch? And what's up with the exhaust tips not having any soot on it? Must be photshopped - LOL

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

No, that is not a keyhole. It's an electronic trunk release build into the center. They also embedded a trunk lock button into the taillight. (I played around with the buttons and stuff at the Detroit NAIAS this year).

 

[Hank3]

Oh cool. It'll save the fans of the no side moldings some time. Are the mirror blinkers LEDs? I'm assuming so.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

And the Bose subwoofer got moved to a compact one that fits ontop of the spare tire. Overall, good improvements. You just have to deal with that in the front.

[Moonpie.Express]

it is kinda quick.
I just do not like the "morphing into an RX-8" front end.

 

[squidmotion]

...can someone say cheeeeseeeeeeeee!

i'll say it... because that front end picture is screaming it...




CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!



crap.. i thought my '09 was smiling at me too much (that's why i don't want to put on my front plate.. give it a 'bucktooth' look) .. that '10 model is almost like a sadistic clown smile or something... make the headlights look meaner and you have something.. .


(evil)

 

[Kindred]

I wonder how many new "OMG LOOK! Pics of the 2010 MS3!" threads there'll be at the end of the day?

 

[squidmotion]

how about this...

we add some headlight lids... or whatever they are called... then add some really mean looking teeth...
