ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

Here's a shot I took yesterday at the Chicago Auto Show. I'm not diggin' it.

I love the color, but I am definitely not getting rid of my car any time soon, unless they got rid of the squeaks and rattles in the dash, and guarantee a strong stock rear motor mount lol.

I'll bet NONE of our parts are transferable (MM, SS, CAI).
 
Incoherent arguments? Dude, here's the deal... You don't like what I have to say and you call it incoherent, that’s smart! Keep on believing the same ole BS some of these morons feed down you throat I don't care it's your car. My arguments are valid only to ppl with common sense. You drive through a deep enough rain puddle (not knowing how deep it is because it's muddy, dark, etc) you can and or will hydrolock your car. You might think it's a shallow puddle but in reality it's pretty deep and boom! Hydrolock and you're out about 8k for a motor. What is so "incoherent" about that? I'm sure my 7 yr old nephew could grasp this simple concept... You’re insults are pathetic by the way, just another one of this forums sheep’s following H&A, nothing new here.

P.S. Take a little visit to Central Florida during the summer months and watch your thoughts/ opinons about hydrolock give you a reality check like real fast.
Wait, I have sheep following me here? If only I'd known, I'd be mobilizing my armies for the powers of good!

RE: puddles. I find it hard to conceive of a puddle that is a stealthy foot and a half deep. At that point, it's not even a puddle anymore, anyway, and that is quite literally the sort of depth you need to get to before you can conceivably submerge your CAI. There are things like curbs, the grading of the road, and other things around your vehicle and the area you are driving to give you perspective. And if you can't see them in the rain and in the dark, maybe you should, uh, turn on your headlights?

I've never said you can't hydrolock your car, only that the risk of doing so is completely trivial and always within your control as the driver of your vehicle. But I guess this only applies to people who use headlights and depth perception. I hope a two and a half foot "puddle" doesn't sneak up on you in your treacherous Southern Florida driving or you and your SRI are so totally hydrolocked, brah. Actually, that does sound pretty bad, I think I'm going to have a snorkel installed on my car just in case a really deep puddle jumps out at me from behind a highway sign next time I'm driving in the rain, wouldn't want to be caught off guard, you know?

I knew I shouldn't have gotten into this here with you still floating around, so this next comment is not addressed to you because it is simply going to be over your head: CAI/hydrolock/warranty concerns (as brought up by someone else in this thread) are not realistic issues. It's so monumentally hard to accidentally hydrolock your car in the first place, and almost any time it happens it can be chalked up to driver error or driver negligence, and I'm pretty sure warranties do not ever cover that.

I, for one, do not really like Mazda's new design language. It's getting too radical for my taste. I do like the looks of the new 6, though, which appears to be a kind of "in-between" the old and new design style
 
how about them redsox? haha. wrong thread to argue in. private message each other your compaints if you want to argue. others dont need the nonsense to fill up a thread with dignified conversation. thanks.
 
Does that look like 12 - 18 inches of stan.... ahem, what I meant to say was that Sport6 is a funny man, and that I am completely and totally incapable of picking up on sarcasm, which makes me a complete failure as a human being.

If they advertise driving on wet pavement they must cover hydrolocking.. Because thats a pretty substantial risk.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was driving through a parking lot I had never been in before and it was night and raining pretty hard and I went through a pretty deep LAKE and my car is still going... the carpet in the front and rear on the right side of my car was wet after I drove in the lake so it wass pretty deep...

Oh god, stop posting in this thread, you're f-ing up a 2010 Mazda3 thread.
Wet pavement has nothing to do with anything except that its in the photo.
Go somewhere else...

I was only asking a question jackass, how about you leave?

Anyways, not too impressed thus far with the 2010 model but who knows.. Once I see one in person and take a drive I might change my opinion.
 
2010 MS3 ordering/availability

My local dealer said the ordering cut-off for 2010 MS3's is March 3 and that the first cars will be delivered this summer. Has anyone received pricing or ordering info? The official reveal was scheduled for March 3 at Geneva, it makes no sense to have the cut-off on the same day as the public reveal.

I'm ready to order but only after I can get pricing and ordering info. No one has this info so I think the dealer is just jerking my chain.
 
He's jerking your chain as no dealer has any info regarding the 2010 MS3's except they should be arriving in June/July
 
They told me they'd arrive in June-August but the order cut off for their allocation was 3/3. It seems like Mazda doesn't want the public to know anything about the car until after the reveal at which point no orders could be placed.

Dealers 95% of the time don't know anything before the are announced anyway. Times are tough they want you to commit on buying a car that you haven't seen or driven yet.

If they don't let you order one after the reveal then they are stupid for turning down business. Worst thing would be you would be put on a waiting list, but this isn't a Ford GT or the first time a Lotus is here so there wont be one.

Wait for the reveal, make your decision after that. Buy from someone else if possible just because hes jerking you around before you even have seen the car.
 
Yea, that is stupid. Maybe they meant you COULD order one starting March 3. Each dealer will get plenty. I doubt everyone is going to run right out to get one. I think people are still a little shocked by the new look and will take a while for it to settle before all these diehards run to get one. You should be able to pick one up off the lot like you can still now on a 2008.5/2009 model. Also might be a great time to pick up a used one when they start getting traded in for the new one.
