Don't count it out just yet. I found one video report from the la show that said it has an inch longer wheelbase and the same overall length as the CX-5! Looks like they finally got the message about lack of rear seat legroom and cargo capacity on the outgoing model.The 3 will be on my shortlist - but mostly will fail due to not having a 2nd row for 2 car seats. As a DD - it was already a king but the new might just push it to the Emperor status.

Didn*t you get the same memo from Mazda that the rest of us did several years back? They told us that they are no longer going after the Boy Racer crowd.
They are targeting upscale customers with higher quality products that drive as good as they look, and are staying as far away from the Street Racing Cred buyers like yourself.
They get higher purchase prices, and lower warranty repairs over the warranty period with the more upscale owner group, so hence why they don*t care to steal sales from the Civic Si or Civic Turbo buyers.
I don't think Mazda has a 6-speed manual tranny that can handle 310 lb-ft of torque. At least none that I know of. Which is probably why they don't sell a Mazdaspeed car right now (other than their excuse for them being juvenile cars).
This. No way the 6 speed will be made available with the 2.5T.
And also, everyone should forgot about a Mazdaspeed. It is not going to happen. That is not the market Mazda wants to go to. Lovers of fast and furious should look for a nice used 1987 camaro.

I'm confused. Doesn't the 2.5T use the 6-speed auto on the CX-9, 6, and now CX-5?
Or are we talking manuals??? Guess I'm missing something.

They certain did say it's a new Mazda Connect that it simpler. This was rumored to be a 3 debut. Hopefully it's a firmware we can get.Anyone else notice the updated commander knob and that surrounding area? Im guessing its not the fabled Mazda Connect 2 or they wouldve made a bigger deal about it. I cant find anything right now till they reveal some more info.
It doesn't have to be a Mazdaspeed, it can be a Signature model trim with performance to back it up. Also, sir, I don't think I ever remember seeing a Camaro in a Fast and Furious movie. SRT Chargers on the other hand, yes I would very much consider one if I didn't care about MPGsAnd also, everyone should forget about a Mazdaspeed. It is not going to happen.

They do have it.
We get the Mazda 6 2.2 Diesel (184hp and 445 nm/328 lb-ft of torque) with a manual transmission, so they could do it, though I wouldn't count on it.
And the diesel is still listed on their "upcoming vehicles" on their website, ROFL.

That is good to know. Maybe there is hope yet for a manual paired to the 2.5T engine.

That's a good question, it doesn't have to be that way. It just seems that Mazda is only making the turbo engine available on the top trims, which is why I was thinking Signature trim. Actually the Mazdaspeed3, if looked at just another trim in the Mazda3 lineup, wasn't even the top trim. It was a Mazda3 Touring with a turbo engine. So yeah, I would also like to see Mazda make performance available on lower trims.Why does it have to be a Signature trim? Give me speed at Sport and Touring levels too...why not?
