Yes, that is indeed my opinion. I also think there's plenty of other cars that a look better than the 3 so what's your point?

I agree there. Is it me or does it look like the older design of the Toyota Matrix?

I agree
Saw a blue one like that a couple of weeks back and was amazed at how ordinary it looked.

hey guys,,
does anyone know if the 2010 MS3 will likely have different interior backlighting on the gauges (speedometer, etc) than the current ms3?
the interior picture being displayed on all those 2010 ms3 sneak peek sites (at least for the european version) show the same orange-ish backlighting, but it looks like there is a little bit of blue mixed in. is that what the current speed3 has?
thx!

I hope you're not talking about the '10 Mazda3 because they are not out yet...

And again Mazda is changing all their engines by 2012 so the are going to upgrade the engine when all the engines change but since the CX-7 is using the the same engine as the speed3 they would have to change the engine in there too.
I didn't say anything about 3yrs from now "2012" By then who knows what kind of cars will be out to choose from. Hopefully not just a bunch of boring hybrids.

Saw a 2010 sedan today
I got a chance ot see the new 2010 today and overall I like it. Here are my impressions:
Interior is fantastic.
Materials quality and ergonomics are universally excellent. Button placement and quality is excellent. Compared to the current 3 interior the 2010's looks more integrated with fewer vein lines and higher quality plastics where it counts. Love the new Navi placement and design. Again compared to the current 3's navi set-up it feels/looks better in terms of fit and finish. Steering wheel controls for Navi are also excellent and intuitive. Overall defintely a step-up from the current model. IMO the interior approaches if not quite equals the quality of what you'd find in an Acura at a 5-10,000 premium.
Exterior is also very nice up 'til the front grille. Myself and one other on-looker agreed that a monochrome paint job may improve the overall appearance compared to the pieced together look of the black plastic fog surrounds and lower grille. Still in person the look was fresh and interesting. Not at all run of the mill. Head on it looks really aggressive and classy. Off angle it can take a little getting used to.
Overall though I think Mazda has done a nice job with the update. In person the cars lines are reminiscent of the current three with a more angular flow. And I honestly think the front would grow on me over time. Typically interesting designs seem weird at first becasue they fly in the face of what were used to. I originally didn't think I'd like the lines of my MS3 but after living with it for over a year I can honestly say that I never tire of looking at it.
Let the flame war begin.

the rear end of the sti is the worst rear end of any car evey made......ever. lol. im sorry that s*** is so ugly. its almost as bad as the FJ. hahaha. almost as bad as the AMC pacer. any agreement on this?
I think the rear end looks good, minus the clear taillights... those are terrible.

i dont really kno why so many current mazdaites are hating on the '10 MS3, maybe for me its because i own a NA proty and am looking for something that offers more in cosmetics and in performance and with the '10 MS3 coming out probably about the time that itll be time for a new car for me it will definitely be on my list since i'd much rather own a new turboed car over a used one (although i love the current MS3 and 6). i mean for me i like everything but the dual exhaust, i really like the front end changes, i like how it looks much similar to the Rx-8's facelift and it gives it a much more aggresive look (even with its big 'ole smile lol).
just my .02
