2 things I've read.
1. the only plant in Japan that makes speed3's had a generator explode, which facilitated a full shutdown and won't come back online for another week (kind of explains why my preordered 2009 was scheduled for production on Sept. 10 - order was put in on July 1)
2. the 2010 mazda3's are set for a 1Q 2009 launch.
all a grain of salt but if your shopping then more info is good.
