I have heard the mazdaspeed3 was getting a 6-speed maunal. Looking forward to swaping that tranny into my 3. For the price difference i think a 3s with the hiboost kit would be a much better deal: 290hp@10psi.

hell yes
In this months issue of Automobile Magazine they were talking about a rumor they heard of the MS3 having AWD. If Mazda is smart, they will at least offer AWD as an option, even if the rumor is not true. If they used the same system as the S40, they would drastically cut there production and development costs. I just don't want AWD to bump the MSRP to $25 K or so. I want to buy a house, so if the MS3 becomes too expensive then I think I will stick to a 3S.

John Mendel, Senior Vice President, Automobile Operations for American Honda, promises, "The new Civic will be the safest car in its class, bar none." Standard equipment on every 2006 Civic will include antilock brakes, side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags. More details on the redesigned 2006 Honda Civic lineup will
A close-ratio six-speed manual transmission delivers power to the front wheels, and the engine breathes through a sport-tuned exhaust system that sounds terrific. Honda recorded a production Civic Si making a run through the gears and played it during the concept's introduction to reporters. It sounded more powerful, and more exotic, than a four-cylinder ought to. Keeping that power flowing to the ground is a standard helical-type limited slip front differential.
Large 18-inch alloy wheels wearing 225/40 performance tires filled the wheel wells on the Honda Civic Si Concept, fronting four-wheel-disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and Brembo four-piston calipers. But these rotors and calipers are just for show, like the glossy black-painted hood, giant rear decklid wing, and the air diffuser with center-mounted exhaust mounted under the back bumper. What will translate to showrooms is the Honda Civic Si Concept's swept roofline and ultra-fast windshield rake, which present a gentle arc that stretches from front to rear. There's plenty of Acura in the Civic Si Concept's face, which results in a more aggressive appearance, but the flanks are plain despite better elegance and flow than a Scion tC. Don't expect the full aero kit on the Honda Civic Si Concept to be standard when the car goes on sale early in 2006.A 200-horsepower, 16-valve, dual-overhead cam, inline four-cylinder engine with an 8,000 rpm redline boasts the latest generation of i-VTEC technology to produce optimum power, optimum efficiency, and optimum levels of emissions.

mazdaspeed 3. turbo, more horsepower, and its not a honda. originality counts and seeing as the civic is so often heavily molested (not modded) i would say the mazdaspeed 3 stomps it. don't even know what the mazdaspeed 3 will boast for numbers but i'm sure it will be more than the civic.

Yeah if its not AWD drive I dont see the point in buying a new one, you could bulid your own car for less money, turbo kit ect and be faster. I am sure that there Marketing research looks at thease bords so keep griping maybe they will listen

i see the turbo and the originality is what i like and i think i will get it.
I agree, I hope it will live up to expectations. I put up a post a few months ago about possibly seeing a test mule for a MS3 near my house and if I saw what I think I saw, this car as more than enough power. I just don't know if I can wait another year for it to come out. I've had my car for almost 3 years now and I am ready for a new one. A legacy GT is looking pretty tempting.vindication said:
