hehe...thanks. I'll be sure to post some pics. Colors didn't seem to be a concern for them. With the amount they were getting they told me I wasn't restricted when it came to the color.

They even made me a cheque for my last payment on my current lease. That payment is in 2 -3 weeks so they wanted me to rest assured they weren't :bs: me. And with that dealer's reputation I would be extremely surprised if they had lied. But hey, l never trust car dealers so I'll believe it when the car is in my driveway!

PICS?

 

[Mazda3]

I dig the sedan... somewhat. I dunno why, but this new 3 sedan (and a 6 to a degree) somehow lacks some design lines that would make you look at it. It is somehow... generic, IMHO. When I look at it, I am not sure where to look somehow, as I am trying to find the character line and am looking for it (geez, I wonder if that will make sense to anyone?)

Just curious, what would you consider a car with these lines you speak of?

is it me, or is it the hood of the sedan and hatch look differently? Are they the same hood design?

gotta love how it states "TARGETED 160 HP" ... cuz we all know how mazda loves to inflate their HP figures...

hmm... seems like the sedan hood is flatter and the hatchback hood is raised with those two lines on either side.

Not a single body panel is shared between the Mazda3 sedan and hatch. The hatch is more sporty whereas the sedan has a more sleek and sophisticated look. As such, the hood lines raise the center of the hood on the hatch whereas the sedan's lines lower the center of the hood.

I knew I wasn't the only one who notice that. The hatch look very nice, but I'm on a waiting game for the MazdaSpeed 3 and so should you!
